1:03:00
Fine, fine. Now,
what about those reinforcements? Over.

1:03:03
I have... two squads to...
1:03:06
First Platoon I can send up, sir. Over.
1:03:08
What the hell do you mean, two squads?!
1:03:11
Goddamn you, Staros!
When I say reinforcements,

1:03:14
goddamn it, I mean it! You commit
everybody you have there and do it now!

1:03:19
Your First Platoon, too. I see 'em
lying on their fat asses doing nothing.

1:03:23
Get a man to 'em right now with orders to
attack, and move 'em by the flank to the ridge.

1:03:28
Then get that Second Platoon over to the hill!
1:03:31
Have 'em press the centre.
Go straight up that goddamn hill!

1:03:34
Attack them right now!
1:03:35
Jesus, Staros! Do lhave to give you
a lesson on infantry tactics

1:03:39
while yourmen
are getting theirasses shot off?.

1:03:42
Colonel, I don't think you fully understand
what is going on here.

1:03:45
My company alone
cannot take that position, sir.

1:03:49
The Japs are too well dug in.
They've got too much fire power.

1:03:52
Colonel, there's a bunker up there.
1:03:54
We can't see it, and it's...
it's chewing my men to pieces, sir.

1:04:00
I request permission
for patrol reconnaissance around

1:04:04
to the right of Hill 210.
I believe the entire position, sir,

1:04:07
can be outflanked
with a manoeuvre there in force.

1:04:10
- No! Goddamn it, no!
- Mightsave lives!

1:04:12
There'll be no flanking move.
1:04:14
Listen, Staros.
You're notgonna take yourmen

1:04:17
around into the jungle
to avoid a goddamn fight!

1:04:20
Do you hear me, Staros? I want you to attack
right now with every man at your disposal!

1:04:26
Now, attack, Staros! That's a direct order!
1:04:38
Sir, I must tell you
that I refuse to obey your order.

1:04:54
- There it is, right there. See it?
- I don't see it.

1:04:59
This is not your fault, Jim.
He's ordering you to.
