:16:03
For myhome.
:16:06
- I admire you, Colonel. I do.
- Thank you, sir.
:16:09
Most men your age
would have retired by now.
:16:12
It's OK.
:16:15
We need general officers
with maturity and character like you.
:16:18
We've got good sergeants
and good lieutenant colonels.
:16:22
But once a man gets those eagles,
he can't wait to get that star.
:16:25
He becomes a politician, right?
:16:27
Goes along to get along.
:16:31
So goddamn hard to stay upright.
:16:34
- You said it there, sir.
- With the Admiral watching, which he will be.
:16:38
- There's always someone watching.
- Yeah.
:16:41
Like a hawk.
:16:44
Always someone ready to jump in,
if you're not.
:16:58
- D'you have a son, Colonel?
- Yes, sir.
:17:00
Good. We don't want our sons or grandsons
fighting this war 30 years from now, do we?
:17:05
- No, sir, we sure don't.
- Then you crush 'em without mercy.
:17:08
You dig them out ofthe hills
and protect that airfield.
:17:11
Yes, sir.
:17:13
You wonder why... Why did the Japs
put an airfield there of all places?
:17:20
I guess we don't know the bigger picture,
if there is such a thing.
:17:23
- What do you think?
- Well, sir, I never ask myselfthat question.
:17:27
You're a humble man.
:17:31
Nobody wants that island... but you.
:17:35
How much do you want it?
:17:37
As much as I have to, sir.
:17:43
All theysacrifiicedforme

All lmighthave given forlove's sake.
