:41:00
Come here, Huxley.
:41:04
Ever see one of these?
:41:06
The complete plan
for the Saipan Operation.
:41:09
Hundreds and thousands of pages.
:41:11
Intelligence. Naval gunfire.
:41:13
Communications. Artillery.
Landing plan. Engineer.
:41:18
The personal history
of the enemy commander.
:41:21
Name it, you'll find it there.
:41:30
Three divisions.
:41:32
Sixty-thousand men
are storming Saipan...
:41:36
...to give us a base to bomb
the Japanese mainland round the clock.
:41:42
But you're ready to question
the labor that went into that plan...
:41:45
...just because you don't like
your assignment.
:41:48
Who do you think you are?
:41:50
You can take that book
and throw it in the ocean.
:41:54
You know as well as I do the book
is dead when the first shot's fired.
:41:58
It wasn't a book that won us
Guadalcanal.
:42:01
It wasn't a book that kept those boys
coming through the lagoon in Tarawa.
:42:05
It's those men
with the rifles and the guts...
:42:08
...that's gonna win your war for you.
:42:11
We want that beachhead.
:42:14
Once upon a time, we used to think
you were a bright young man.
:42:18
There is such a thing
as insubordination.
:42:22
When I came to you, I knew
I'd leave here one of two ways:
:42:27
In command of my battalion
or by the brig.
:42:31
You might as well court-martial me, sir,
because I'm not going back to my boys...
:42:36
...and tell them that they're gonna carry
a broom and dustpan again.
:42:43
You stuck your neck out
a long way.
:42:49
Stand by until I can put through
a change in these orders.
:42:52
I'm sending your battalion in
on the exposed left flank of Red Beach.
:42:56
It's the hot spot
of the Saipan Campaign.
