It took me six months to get that
portable port plan to the Pentagon...
:41:04
let alone the British.
:41:06
I haven't had more than
two or three hours' sleep a night...
:41:10
since Florence died. I'm really worn out.
:41:13
Why don't we get a couple of beers
and get a decent night's sleep?
:41:17
Yeah. Let's really tie one on tonight.
:41:21
Bus, call Charlie Madison.
Tell him to set up a little bar in a hotel.
:41:24
Yes, sir.
:41:30
You remember we weren't called
midshipmen in those days...
:41:33
we were called naval cadets.
:41:36
Yeah!
:41:40
This was before Bancroft Hall
was turned into a dormitory...
:41:44
because they found
the O.O.D. Sitting there with his...
:41:51
You remember when they christened
the canvas!
:41:55
Anyway, "Hey, you cadet,"
said this jimmy leg.
:42:15
Jesse?
:42:18
Jesse, you think they're gonna...
:42:22
unify the services after the war?
:42:26
Yeah. It looks that way.
:42:30
A joint committee on military affairs...
:42:33
is holding a hearing. The end of June.
:42:38
Ostensibly, it's about the Army's
new bomber program.
:42:42
It's really about the Army pushing to be...
:42:45
the dominant service
in the military establishment.
:42:48
A lot of talk about the Air Corps
becoming a separate service.
:42:52
Yeah. Every senator in Washington...
:42:56
is infatuated with strategic bombing.
