:24:00
Nobody knows anything about
a Philippine relief expedition.

:24:04
I'm sorry.
:24:06
In the whole of Australia, there is a
grand total of some 30,000 U.S. Personnel,

:24:10
mostly artillery
and engineers,

:24:12
scattered all over
the continent.

:24:16
At present,
there's no American infantry.

:24:19
Air units?
:24:21
There are about 250 planes
of all types...

:24:24
more or less
in commission.

:24:26
Sixty-five of them
are undergoing repairs,

:24:29
a hundred and twenty-two
of them are being assembled.

:24:32
There's almost
no navy at all.

:24:34
And no infantry.
God help us.

:24:36
Well, there are approximately
300,000 Australian troops,

:24:39
but they've been described as
undertrained and underequipped.

:24:43
You know what that means.
:24:45
Not only is the Bataan rescue mission
so much blue sky over the horizon,

:24:49
it is even open to question
if we can defend Australia.

:24:53
MacArthur! MacArthur!
:24:55
Ready to go, Daddy?
Shh.

:24:57
However, there is
one more thing, sir.

:25:00
Headquarters here at
Melbourne has received...

:25:02
a message for you from
President Roosevelt.

:25:07
He has awarded you
the Medal of Honor.

:25:10
Congratulations,
sir.

:25:12
MacArthur!
MacArthur! MacArthur! MacArthur!

:25:16
MacArthur! MacArthur!
MacArthur!

:25:19
MacArthur! MacArthur!
MacArthur! MacArthur!

:25:24
Congressional Medal of Honor.
:25:26
MacArthur! MacArthur!
MacArthur!

:25:29
You know, my father...
:25:31
was awarded the same decoration
when he was only 19.

:25:35
MacArthur!
MacArthur!

:25:37
I had to wait
just a little bit longer.

:25:40
MacArthur! MacArthur!
MacArthur! MacArthur!

:25:46
But at this moment,
:25:49
I would swap it
for just one trained division.
