:45:01
Do your duty, soldier.
:45:04
Yes, sir.
:45:06
Mr. Pendleton, if they are innocent,
these men will go free.
:45:09
But if they are found guilty of desertion...
:45:12
...the courts-martial condemns them
to death. It must be so.
:45:22
Yes, sir.
:45:25
Of course, sir.
:45:27
I'm not done yet.
:45:35
Sandie.
:45:45
If the Republicans lose their little war,
they are voted out in the next election...
:45:51
...and they return to their homes
in New York or Massachusetts or Illinois...
:45:55
...fat with their war profits.
:45:59
If we lose, we lose our country.
:46:05
We lose our independence.
:46:10
We lose it all.
:46:20
Our soldiers are brave.
:46:23
They have endured hardships none of them
could ever have imagined.
:46:27
Desertion is not a solitary crime.
:46:31
Is a crime against the tens of thousands
of veterans...
:46:35
...who are huddled together
in the harsh cold of this winter.
:46:38
Against all those who have sacrificed.
:46:42
Against all those who have fallen.
:46:45
Against all the women and the children
we have left alone to fend for themselves.
:46:51
I regard the crime of desertion as a sin
against the Army of the Lord.
