:06:01
Pursuant to orders
I haIted on our side of the river.

:06:06
The men didn"t Iike it very much.
:06:08
Neither did you.
:06:10
And neither do I,
but that"s the poIicy...

:06:12
and soIdiers don"t make poIicy,
they mereIy carry it out.

:06:15
The State Department
couId do something.

:06:17
Oh, yes, they"II write
a sharp note of protest.

:06:21
if you care to read
sharp notes of protest.

:06:24
I"II decIaim them over the graves
of the troopers...

:06:26
who were guarding the waterhoIes.
:06:29
Three of them staked
face-down on anthiIIs.

:06:32
You"ve got the dirtiest job in the army,
there"s no doubt of that, Kirby.

:06:36
I"m not compIaining, sir.
I get paid for it.

:06:39
Maybe you shouId compIain.
I"II Iisten.

:06:43
This coffee isn"t as good
as it used to be.

:06:47
I"II make a note of that.
:06:49
But maybe, someday it"II get
better and stronger.

:06:54
I"II drink to that, sir:
stronger.

:07:01
Too bad about your son.
:07:04
I hadn"t heard.
:07:06
I"m sorry, Kirby,
I thought you knew.

:07:10
He faiIed mathematics
at West Point and...

:07:12
and they"ve dropped him
from the miIitary academy.

:07:16
Indeed?
:07:18
Oh, it"s no disgrace
faiIing mathematics.

:07:20
I just missed it myseIf
by the skin of my teeth.

:07:23
I haven"t seen my son
in fifteen years.

:07:26
Yes, I know, it"s...
:07:29
Look, Kirby, this coffee"s weak,
but it"s aII we have, more?

:07:33
if it"s aII we have...
:07:39
You're in the army now,
you're not behind a plough.

:07:42
You'll never get rich
by digging a ditch.

:07:45
You're in the army now.
:07:46
You're in the army now,
you're not behind a plough.

:07:50
You son-of-a gun,
you're on the bum.

:07:52
You're in the army now.
:07:54
Knock it off, knock it off.
:07:57
Left face!
