:57:05
38 fucking years old.
:57:09
lf you joined
the Green Berets,
:57:11
there was no way you'd ever
get above colonel.
:57:14
Kurtz knew what
he was giving up.
:57:18
The more I read
and began to understand,
:57:21
the more I admired him.
:57:24
His family and friends
couldn't understand it,
:57:27
and they couldn't
talk him out of it.
:57:30
He applied three times
:57:31
and put up
with a ton of shit.
:57:34
When he threatened
to resign,
:57:36
they gave it to him.
:57:41
The next youngest guy
in his class
:57:44
was half his age.
:57:45
They must have thought
he was some far-out old man
:57:49
humping over that course.
:57:51
I did that when I was 19.
:57:53
It damn near wasted me.
:57:57
A tough motherfucker.
:58:01
He finished it.
:58:05
He could have gone
for general...
:58:08
but he went
for himself instead.
:58:13
Dear Eva,
:58:16
today was really a new one.
:58:18
Almost got eaten alive
by a fucking tiger.
:58:23
Really un-fucking-believable,
you know?
:58:26
We're taking this guy
Captain Willard up the river,
:58:30
but he hasn't told us yet
where we're taking him.
:58:33
[ Come on, baby ]
:58:35
Thought you might have
heard by now from...
:58:38
October, 1967.
:58:40
On special assignment,
Kontum province, 11 corps.
:58:43
Kurtz staged
Operation Archangel
:58:46
with combined local forces.
:58:47
Rated a major success.
:58:53
He received
no official clearance.
:58:55
He just thought it up
and did it.
:58:59
What balls.
