Delightful when you're drunk.

Why don't we find out?

I Can't you really can't?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Tommy, wait.

Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor.

Hawaii is on full alert. All the beach installations are being man full
strength.

Jeff will never go for a wahoo they got the fleet. MacArthur is the one who
will take the brunt.

Tony and some of the other boys over to Philadelphia to the recruiting
office. Again, endless first thing in the morning. Sam, you've got to stop

him.

Stop him. How?

Call Philadelphia meet the area command. You're can do it. No I cannot.

You mean you won't.

What about the river crossing? Sam? I don't think so.

We can't take any more losses. Yeah, that's right. He's down.

I'm acting divisional commander. We're all set for the river crossing
tonight.

Are you crazy? They courtmarshall you

Yeah, that is affirmative 22.30 hours a night attack.

And now the concluding chapter of one sunny Eagle.

Deadline New Guinea summer off the Papuan coast.

Early this morning soldiers of the 33rd division under the command of
Colonel Samuel a damon seize control of a Japanese held airstrip in a

daring raid

that caught the enemy totally by surprise.

under cover of darkness. The Strike Force was ferried across a lightly
defended stretch of the water Blue River

and encircled the left flank of the Japanese perimeter.

While an artillery attack diverted the enemy's attention,

Damon marched his men 17 miles through heavy jungle and came up behind the
airstrip,

attacking its rear defences.

Although outnumbered by a ratio of three to one, the Strikeforce hit so
quickly and so efficiently

that nearly half of Japanese defenders were killed or wounded

within the first 30 minutes of fighting

The airstrip was secured by daybreak.

Lets us give it to them, right, right.

Right soldier.

Right, right.

Hey, Mac. Fix this young fella drink

Hallie really likes him.

Yeah Everybody likes Ben. Loves the world and loves you back.

Seems a little mindless these days, wouldn't you say?

Really?

Man, just one of those lucky guys and his own little star hanging over your
head.

Sounds like my husband

before his star burned out.

He's dead. He was at Singapore when it fell.

Officially they have him listed as missing in action.

I think that's just a way of letting you down nice and easy.

No, if they were sure they let you know.

I suppose

I don't make him nervous. Do I

what nervous?

You're very quiet.

Well, I guess I'm never really very noisy

but I just haven't been around a pretty woman in a long time that's all

very old and very married.

So if we get this Punch and Judy up there, will you let me take you to
dinner tonight?

I'd love to

good. Not not my place.

Hadn't entered my mind.

This is London. Soon it will be spring in England.

Already there are flowers in the parks. Although the parks aren't quite as
well kept as they were at this time last year.

The winter that is ending has been hard.

But Londoners have many reasons for satisfaction.

Tommy

Good evening court. Are you alone?

Come in

Can I get you something?

Coffee you mean? No thanks. I can still navigate fairly well.

And if the truth be told, matter of this meeting is sobering me up very
quickly.

You're gonna have some coffee anyway.

Still a little warm.

Thanks.

Come on. Sit down, please.

No, I don't think I could. Thanks.

Besides, I think I'm supposed to stand

all right. What is it?

It's really very simple.

I don't want my son to die.

It's going over.

I hate to ask you for this.

But the way those bombers have been going down,

and they're so helpless all of them

I don't have any jurisdiction over Donnie and

strictly aircore

suppose I could talk to general Danvers on a personal basis.

See SCART use you Tommy. I didn't say I wouldn't.

Just trying to sort out the ramifications.

ramifications. Hell, he's a gunner on a flying target.

First prize in this week's turkey shoot.

I know that but he did volunteer

it is what he wants to do.

Has he asked you to come

you know he didn't. Sam.

Sam does not count.

Sam could have stopped him. That night in Pearl Harbor

when Donnie and the others took off to enlist.

He actually wasn't sworn in until four o'clock the next day.

Four o'clock.

All Sam had to do was pick up the phone

keep him with me Court.

Please

I try.

Morning Court.

Good morning duck. Sorry, I'm late.

Meeting with Watson took longer than expected.

Good news or bad bad.

For the Japs. Congratulations, Major General.

Boss had to tell you the 33rd is all yours.

Court. I would have waited here all week to hear that.

What about McKelvey? Is it gonna be alright.

It's hard. It's fine, but he's been reassigned stateside.

And the acting divisional commander what's his name? Damon. Sam.

It's a good man. Boys don't think he's ready yet.

Anyway, MacArthur want a deal.

Damon might be a little bit unhappy.

Perhaps we should move him up.

No. Sam doesn't think like that.

You give him a job and he does it.

You will be happy to have him Duke.

Believe me.

Whatever you say.

Oh, court.

I appreciate this. I mean,

after 15 years of staff studies and training exercises to get out there

and put it all into practice. Thanks.

Give them hell Duke come in.

Excuse me, sir. All right.

Major General Blaine was just leaving.

Congratulations. Thank you. Clark

McArthur isn't wasting any time getting his boys into

the frame. Why not? Who says that?

Yes sir. It seems to me as if he's dealt somebody out of the game.

Don't worry about me Phil.

Yes, sir. What you've always said you need to field command to get that
third star

so I will

at the right place and at the right time

and the worldchi Peninsula, isn't it

did you hear the codename palladium.

Yes, sir. But that's at least a year off.

You cannot harvest what you don't plant Phil.

Right now I'm planting

they call us for a meeting

Oh, General, on your call to general Danvers.

He's inspecting air core facilities and he will be back until the end of
next week.

Can he be reached?

Yes sir. But he left instructions to relay only operational or urgent
messages

shall I place the call sir

No thank you

wow, soldier.

Well looks like summer vacations over in fact in 10 months a small bag
history teacher.

Not much of a vacation six days.

Six more and you're welcome.

Any idea where you're going?

Well, it's getting late.

I better go

Did you know i

i could phone in sick

a good I don't want you to

okay

just for the record Yank two things

I'm sorry you never got your home cooked meal

and your wife's a bloody fool

want to talk about it

I'm a good listener

you know I'm not much of a talker

who's Devlin?

Devlin you were turning in your sleep

and you kept saying his name

it was a friend

one of my dead friends

tell me

before the armistice

have been over the hill for a couple of days

and the worry was

when Gary Tuchman going back

just one more skirmish

later he was dead

I don't want to take them up there again Joyce.

Sometimes even the living end up dead

but you mustn't stop doubting yourself

I never stopped

truth is I'm never sure

I doubt myself all the time

why don't you just write goodbye

when it comes down to his neck

so long Sergeant

it's been a super week next time i am in the city

right beach gentlemen two and a half miles of sunny white sand

but take my word for it. It is no Waikiki

Colonel Chrysler read your party let's hear

Yes sir. We at H plus 15 minutes in two ways

we move to the perimeter of the rain forest and draw attention away from
Green

Swanee that is your ballgame. Yes sir.

Will you in and H plus 30 minutes move directly to Morro ridge here

and with any luck gentlemen We catch Tojo looking two ways at once.

What about reserves general brighten will be standing by to come in right
behind Swanson

as soon as he's cleared the beach. Sir,

excuse me. I thought we decided to hold Brighton's battalion back

to back us up in case we got bogged down

colonel Damon suggested I realized what

Colonel Damon suggested

general fields, at Swanee stressed we'll open up green and then

we thank you very much, Colonel. I'm quite capable of explaining my own
plan.

Cause you are sir.

Perhaps this is as good a time as any to get something perfectly straight
gentlemen.

There was entirely too much old home week and down memory lane in this
command.

I don't care who used to run this division.

And I don't care how he did it. It's my show and it will be run my way.

Anyone who disagrees with that? I'd like to hear from them right now.

How about a blow by blow that super secret war council now,

Dave? You know, I can't do that.

If I don't ask my editor He will send me back to these things

How is your daughter pretty good.

Fire laughter I heard

not exactly our House correspondents

come on in well,

I guess there's only so many letters they can write.

And I sold folks.

I don't have time here, what is this

It is a letter from darling Marion. You

might like to read it

I don't want to read their mouth. No, no, no, no

take it that's why she sent it for you.

Page three gatewayed If you like

You can't believe the stupidity of some commanders,

the blunders committed by timid little men determined to protect their own
positions

with so little regard for human life.

I've always loved my dad.

Something always seemed to separate us.

Maybe because I was afraid to surrender to a man who made war for a living

and I finally realized how stupid I've been

he's got more humanity in his little finger than all these guys put
together.

God I wish you were here right now

are starting our run. Okay, guys. The setting is all yours.

Let's get started. Okay, make problem problem.

Guys, here we go. Right on Alright, skip payments.

We're gonna bail out here. It wasn't a great leader to walk here. We needed
a wonder getting hom

Donnie ? Hello, sir.

Hey, you putting on weight or is it the uniform

Will It's kind of hard to get fat on air court chat.

You can say that again. How many missions has it been now?

8 9 9. Sir, count today

Do you like it? Feets walking.

Just for the record, you fly boys aren't going to win this war all by
yourself.

That's what we keep hearing

How is your mother? Fine.

You don't write to her very often. Do you

There's not much to say.

You know, I know things are rough here. But I think somehow things are a
lot rougher back home.

Now take your mother for example. She

she's not able to see you. She has a hard time keeping busy.

I'm sorry, sir. I just can't write that's all.

I don't know. Maybe because I'm afraid she'll find out how I really feel
about this lousy war.

Well, I suppose you tell me.

That's not important. Well, I'd still like to hear it.

Well, maybe I just don't like slaughtering civilians.

Those are military targets. Pardon me sir.

But you know the figures.

One bomb on five actually hits the intended targets.

You got to see those cities after we passed over them.

You now a few days ago, I was having dinner with some boys in the Air
Corps.

And they were telling me that they're hard up for gunnery instructors back
home.

First person I thought it was you.

Mother's idea. No. it's mine.

Well ask Feldman or carpenter?

They're good, sir. Very good.

I don't want them

no, thank you sir

Donnie, you're an only son.

You're my only grandson.

I said no, thank you, sir. If I don't go up somebody else will.

Does it solve the problem?

What's going on down there and woke? I gotta tell ya, I'll get on the horn

G two says are floundering around like pigs in a grease pit

diamond yes sir

damage just look why isn't Swanee moving

he's got bright and ready to land on green and he can't seem to get his
rear end in gear

much rains deep in the jungles pretty thick in there general

Japanese have the height the figures to be a little slow

slow but not stop you read the G two estimates you know what the nips have
their

intelligence just guesswork but educated guesswork

now stop alibying but general

The Japanese can hold Swanson with a minimum of force

they're gonna kick the hell out of Colonel cresar on red beach that's

my point. Exactly my point and there he is stone right there.

Currently it's crossbow urgent.

Swanee what's going on?

You want us to shift our fire support

Swanee Sir colonel crashword

is getting heavy pressure on his right flank

Christ so we'll just have to hold but he can't hold Crosbey

we stick to the plan.

This is a good plan to if we just had a man on the beach with guts enough
to carry it out

the man word if you just come in cross

I gotta be honest to you. This plan of yours is a crock.

Don't you tell me my plan telling you a couple of 1000

good men are gonna get slaughtered out there unless we do something

this but if I send brighten and support the gems have committed and
strength to Red Beach.

I give Swanee and open road to the morrow ridge

to get the japs in a squeezed between the high ground and the water.

You don't have any choice All right, all right.

But you hear me on this day mean you hear me good.

You screw up on this operation for me.

And I'll put you through my personal meat grinder.

And then the South Pacific men of the 33rd division under the command of
Elroy

have registered a dramatic victory against Japanese forces under heavily
fortified Wokai Peninsula.

Despite stubborn resistance by the enemy dug deep in the hills.

On the strength of having almost killed us all got nominated for a third
star and trotted off to Washington,

where he will no doubt impress a bunch of fat headed congressmen with his
military genius.

I say good riddance with perlane gone. I guess they felt they were really
desperate

so they promoted me to bird colonel and Sam finally finally got his star.

All my love being DMPS burn this letter.

Tommy you didn't tell me.

It's news to me March.

You can get shot. I'm sure you must have written to me about

it. I'm sure he did.

Tell me I know it's none of my business

but Marge, could you ask the kids to play something else? I have a terrible
headache.

Now y'all go out and play in front Okay, now you watch the cars to

just seems what I just know if it was been out there Tommy

and I know I try

it doesn't mean anything has to change.

Look March I know what you're trying to say.

And you're right.

But I just can't be a part of it.

Tommy even if you don't love him anymore,

but I do March

that's the hell of it

look I'm tired sure sure you're

listening you take it easy now call you tomorrow morning Okay

mate we can take this bunch out to the beach

I'd like to

bye now

Danny come on

GEORGE Hello Court waiting for someone or can you spare an anxious Suffolk
and a few minutes of your time?

Well no as a matter of fact I am waiting for a lady and because she is
invariably late

I think I'm gonna have another these what about you

saying Good.

How much do you know about palladium?

Well, that's not my problem.

But you're in tight with general gauge and it is his problem.

Because you know, I was promised corps commander on that invasion.

Kelby recommended I'd be given just not McKelvey, his decision,

MacArthur okayed it and send it down to staff.

Somebody shut me down.

Come on George. You engage her like that

don't put me on the spot.

I earn that invasion. I worked for it

if somebody's going to cut me up the least you can do is tell me who's
holding the knife

the ladies arrived George

I can't help you court

I have a shot at the field command in the Pacific and suddenly I'm
scuttled.

priorities board

Thank you.

But no I have to get back to New York

we

My fault

No, it wasn't

it's hard to explain.

To raise a boy and suddenly find yourself in second position to a stranger.

Mrs. Damon he loved you.

I know. I know.

But I'm a selfish old woman.

I wanted to keep him all to myself.

I found it hard to share him

even with his father

I'd like to see you wear the ring

What do you have it with you? I'd like to see it

he told you he didn't have to

Tommy

It is Sam

I don't want to talk to him.

Sam

I said nevermind

yeah

Sam well you suddenly popped out of nowhere.

How you be stranger

passport fine mam

here let me take that

I want you to know I turned down three indecent proposals because of you

there's a federal major from Pittsburgh who said I reminded him of his
sister

while I knew that was a mistake.

And then there was Roxbury he writes for one of your one services

he was fun when he was sober he is not often and

I guess I like to invest

Joyce I called home

I don't want to know this

he's dead.

Jimmy, my husband

they told me. I need you

finally

ha Tell me lies

no promises

just lies

Gentlemen, general Messingale

good morning. Please be seated.

It's good to see a few familiar faces

and trust the others will become so as we get closer to our objective

smoke if you like, Colonel.

As you can see, gentlemen, we've drawn one of the most critical military
objectives

in the Messiah island group.

I need not tell you its name.

Henceforth it will be referred to only by its codename

palladium.

This is the first operation for the 24th core.

And I'd like to make a lasting impression.

If not on my paper pushing friends in the capital,

at least on the Mikado and his palace in Tokyo.

Take it easy sam. I can't take it easy.

We can just call him now.

Can he call that bola package exit plan?

I'm gonna be out there flapping around like BVDs in a clothesline,

and that little tin soldier massengale is quoting Herodus

and the chronicles of the Peloponnesian War damned

ben easy. I'm gonna have dinner with the general tonight

and see if I can talk some sense until

you do that. Sam, give me something to hold on to.

Because right now I feel like kindling wood at a marshmallow roast.

It's a bad plan court. Very bad.

Wrong. It's classic. A Kanai

battle a double envelopment by two assaulting fours not

fighting it Kainai in general Murase is no fool.

Your secondary landing on white beach to it doesn't make any sense.

beach one is okay. But the advance is going to be tough.

The roads and their foot trails at best and the terrain is lousy.

As for your pivot? It's suicidal court.

Not if Chrysler holds the line.

Damned at court. It's idiotic.

Asking a regiment to turn on its axis in the middle of hilly country

without getting its flanks exposed.

Murasi Smells that maneuver and Rossi will be busy with Swanson's diversion
at White Beach.

And what if he didn't take the bait?

He will. Maybe,

but if he doesn't, I want operational control of the 49th regiment as part
of my reserve.

I'm leaving the 49th uncommitted so I can swing it either

way. Swanee won't need them. I'm may

I'm not so sure Swanson I am.

I want the 49th in my reserve.

Otherwise I'm not going to accept the responsibility.

You can have the 49th for as long as you need them

until the pivot is completed.

I want your word on that court. We got it

to palladium Sam

is glory enough in this for all of us?

H plus two hours beach at a salt went well. Maybe too well

120 and 23 move inland rapidly.

Resistance minimum been nervous

thanks to japs are sucken us into the hills

H plus 14 hours beachhead secure, advanced CPE operational,

not Paris but it'll do Ben still moving slower now

where are the japs G two says 38,000 But where

they seem to be holding back waiting to commit where it'll do the most
good.

h plus 28 hours. Swanee is tided about two miles inland ben getting ready
for the pivot.

But I don't know. Once he starts they'll be sitting ducks.

MassonGale's plan, a perfect example of textbook strategy

that could blow up in our faces.

Not sure he knows the risks.

Sir, sir

Morning, sir.

Ever since you took the beach, Sam, you've lost momentum.

I want to know why.

We didn't take that beach general. They gave it to us.

The jap defenses are dug in up in the hills and the party's getting a
little sticky.

Why haven't you ordered the change in direction

because Swanson hasn't reached baseline green.

We'll have to go anyway. We need that airfield now.

Can't change directions

now. General look, Swanson is stuck right here.

General Chrysler is right in through there.

Now unless Swanee can really apply the pressure.

Rossi is going to strike right here and roll right over the 120 23

Apparently I have more faith in general Chrysler than you do.

I'm telling you the japs will kick our butts clear back to Melbourne

if that gets us in the middle of shifting gears

or if we commit the 49 to That won't be

necessary.

I think it will

you telling me how to run this call.

Just trying to advise you sir.

It's part of my duty

and I'm telling you I'm prepared to relieve you

and bring in someone who will conduct this operation as ordered

that sir is your privilege

to get a soldier to walk away from the division now

we both know it

I don't ask you to like the order.

I asked you to obey

all right, General I'll order the pivot

But if general Christler meet stiff opposition I am committing the 49th as
agreed.

You won't need them as agreed.

Hey, well

let's get moving

they will get me a general chrysler

Sir General Daymon on the horn right.

Sam,

how's it going, Ben?

Lousy. Native girls that frigid? Somebody wanted my scotch.

Tell me about the Japs. We found a few.

Not many. We're still moving.

Luck Ben I want you to execute pylon pylon

swaney is barely off the beach.

I know. But we need it now.

Sam, I thought you were gonna hold off for a while.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Okay, you know what you're doing?

I'll let you know if we run into Murase in his sumurai. If you do

you get my best.

Yeah

H plus 32 hours, pylon is moving slowly but it's moving.

feel helpless waiting for the axe to fall in the back of my neck

can understand just one of those gut feelings I can't seem to shake.

Maybe nerves. Maybe I've been out here too long.

If anybody can pull off pylon Ben can.

Who knows? Courtney may be a genius,

Lord, I hope so.

Just received from .

Gentle Murasi is moving to reinforce the airstrip

and Swanson is making progress off white beach

we are half way up sir

general Chrysler completes the turn will have the Rossi cut off on two
sides

do you see it Phil?

Our Aussie went for it turned best

left Brainer Blanca totally open

could hit the beach tomorrow and push inland

before he even knew we were there

yes sir but we don't have the Strikeforce

we have the 49th don't we

will yes but they're being held in reserve for gentle damon

for pylon

pylon is nearly complete

Yes sir now a little imagination Phil

Ross He's given us raina blanca intact

strategically there's no point in

the first island capital to be liberated that the Japanese haven't
completely destroyed

that's the point

and we can walk right in

signal the staff committing the 49th

Sir perhaps we should wait until General Chrysler confirms a signal the
staff Colonel

yes sir

Joe Yeah Ciao

General by morning this island is going to be littered with dead heroes.

More or less isn't gonna make any difference

what's going on? These are volunteers from the field hospital.

Them Joe these guys aren't in any condition to fight.

Yeah, I know. But they'd rather take on the japs then get cut to pieces in
a field hospital cut.

Report over to Sergeant Perkins give them some automatic weapons and
ammunition go one.

Okay, let's go. Easy now easy.

So they gathered the lame and the halt to raise their staffs against the
dragon.

As each man died a legend was born.

As each was buried. The song was sung

by a widow wearing dry and brittle weeds.

To Commander twenty fourth corps

please accept for yourself and extend to all officers and men involved

my heartiest congratulations for your brilliant execution of the Palladium
campaign.

It is nothing less than a model of what an imaginative and aggressive
command

can accomplish in rapid exploitation.

It can serve as an inspiration to all commands

and has brought us all heartingly nearer that long four day of total
victory.

Signed Douglas MacArthur Supreme Commander allied forces Pacific Theater.

Sam

Don't worry they'll find it

in a minute Come on.

You want to die out here? Is that what you want?

Get over here

I don't want to play that anymore.

Why don't we ask mommy if we can go to the movie.

I don't know. I think it's more Roger. I don't want to that

I ask Jerry to pick us up tonight so we don't have to drive.

Yes. This is Damon. Yes. General Redeker, ma'am.

Sam. Ma'am. My husband

No ma'am. I was offered Mrs. Chrysler's house

and the housekeeper told me I could find you here

I better get on hold

on the larger Police Day.

No, I didn't do my worse today and

I got to get some sharpen and the kids go back to school by monday.

Look March. Let me fix you some lunch.

We'll park the kids off to a movie or something.

No, I got a lot to do.

I got to call my mom

mom he says she knew

did they do that? They want me to oh my door please. Just let it out.

I'm just fine.

But I want to help

you cannot help me. Don't you know that?

But I know how you feel

Do you. I had a husband and you haven't had one for years?

It's stupid for both of us that he wasn't here about Sam.

That would solve everybody's problem.

I'd still have my man. And you would have been free Tommy.

Wonderfully free of everything.

Marh that's not what I want. Then

what the hell do you want Tommy?

I know what I want

Morning Yank

faces familiar?

Well, thanks for that.

You could have said something a lot worse.

Adopted didn't put this on the chart but

I thought it may boost the morale

got a license to practice that kind of medicine lady.

Not from the AMA.

How are you feeling?

passable? Fine, mam. Passable fine.

How's the leg? All right.

How many stitches?

About 57.

Well there Goes My career's as a bathing beauty.
What day is it ?

Friday. You've been with us off and on for the last six days.

I've been here most of

my little contribution to the war effort.

Sorry, Dave.

I only got five minutes. Your time was lousy. But come on in

five minutes. No more.

How do you like your eggs?

Anyway you make them

Well, looks like a third star for general. About Sam.

Sam it is

next time as you see MacArthur I'll try done.

I'm here to say goodbye. Godspeed. Good luck.

I'm off to chronicle the exploits of new and grander heroes.

Crazy Dave's where the action is. And this

is also where Messingale is.

He pulled my credential

he what?

I made a mistake of trying to strip the truth of palladium past his little
caesars skippers.

I don't think the general cared for my critique.

Can't do that.

Sam, maybe someday when it's all over when the fat cats are running a
little self sence in their memoirs,

maybe then I'll get it together.

Nobody will buy it. Nobody will read it.

But as Mr. Congreve said, that is the way of the world

I'm sorry.

Does Massingale wants to see you.

Not that I know of

then he won't be thies afternoon he is heading back to Washington
and be decked of glory and metal on his tunic.

I'll send you a postcard

Thanks dave. Take care of it.

And where do you think you're going?

Oh, no, not at John's. Come on. General. pensoft.

Sorry, Nurse

sam.

COVID back. Oh,

I have no doubt about that. In your condition. We'll have to bring you
back.

I'm getting the doctor. Joice Sam you've lost a lot of blood.

You're in no shape. I have some

business to take care of. Now, today

you're damned fool. Do you want to die on me?

Hello. Yes. Say again?

Yes. Just a moment

it's your wife.

Hello.

Yeah, Tommy.

Yeah honey. Can you speak a little louder? I can barely hear you

no honey Tommy Tommy

Come on Please don't cry

Sam

Sam Are you still there

Yeah honey yeah I'm still here

I'm still here

I need to worker on 216 Nurse

nurse 216 that young major with the Cessel I want a worker

yes so right away

can I help you sir All right sergeant

yes with for me will you

You're awfully quiet this morning Phil

sorry sir just thinking about the casualty reports

the 33rd took a terrible beating

yes they did their job

they held

that's what counts

Lord I know you were tough

but this is incredible

I stopped by to see you a couple of times but you were pretty far out of it

Can you wait outside Phil

Poor yourself a cup of coffee bill

cannot believe I carried that silly cigarette case around with me for
nearly 30 years

and bosted on that island.

I'm requesting the Board of Inquiry on palladium.

That's absurd. To be specific,

I'm charging you with gross misconduct and dereliction of duty

perhaps I should bring you up to date.

Palladium was one hell of a victory and I'm something of a hero.

So is Ben Yes. Yes.

Sorry about Ben.

Maybe they didn't tell you. I put the unit in for a Presidential Citation

and I'm recommending general Chrysler for this Distinguished Service Cross.

Came cheap. Come on, Sam. I know you're upset.

You're damn right. I am.

800 men dead and other 1300 wounded. For what?

So you could liberate some stinking town at the head of my troops. My
reserves

my troops Sam. The pivot was complete the hell it was.

Perhaps you had better wait outside Phil.

Outside Colonel That's an order.

Yes, sir.

And you better sit down Sam.

Oh Stan.

Oh come on now let's get off that leg.

When I talk about legs I saw legs

and arms and heads scattered all over that island

800 bodies with the guts running out of them

that's enough you know as well as I do

battle conditions call for instant decisions

some right and some wrong

maybe there was a better way

but what I did was what

you did was plain murder.

And I'm going to see you pay for it. General

as usual, you're fighting the wrong battle at the wrong times.

Not this time. You can cook up some story,

your word against mine. But it won't be just mine

because I'm going to bring them all up in front of that board.

Every survivor every dog face every noncom

one by one starting with your boy out there

nd every one of them knows the truth

oh my god, they'd better buy it.

If they don't I'm going to the newspapers

and the radio and then I'm going to the families of all those men you left
out there palladium

your career will be finished

so is yours

the difference is I don't give a damn

for the good of the service why not? Hell

do you think I'm doing this?

You want to way out I'll give you one

you resign right now for the good of the service

got a chance that's fine.

Because I'm gonna enjoy watching them cut you down

you're all finished General

David if you try to do this,

I have your skin

I promise you that.

Never played the other man's game.

Well, this is my game david in my yard

and you can't tell you

that's an order .
You hear Damon I am ordering you. Damon
