:15:01
or resignation processing.
:15:03
It will take
three to four years
:15:05
to process a resignation.
:15:07
Do I make myself clear?
:15:10
All right, what about it,
Mr. Grafton?
:15:14
There was only one mission, sir.
:15:17
That right, Mr. Cole?
:15:21
That's about the size of it.
:15:24
We did it ourselves.
:15:26
Normally, I'm blabby,
but I sat on this one.
:15:33
You took an oath, Mr. Cole.
:15:35
You, too, Mr. Grafton.
:15:37
You took an oath

:16:13
Why did you do this, Cole?
:16:15
An officer
with your fine record?
:16:17
Did you think you were going
to win the war?
:16:20
Frankly, sir, I think
we're going to lose this one.
:16:27
But I do love the work.
:16:31
Mr. Cole, you may find
that amusing, but we don't.
:16:35
Gentlemen, this is our country
you're messing with.
:16:45
Well, Mr. Grafton, you have
an attentive audience here.
:16:48
Perhaps you can explain to us
:16:49
why you thought a one-plane war
was the way to go.
:16:58
Well, sir, we bomb worthless
targets night after night--
