l`m a colonel in the Continental Army.
My rank should be sufficient for now.
:08:08
As you wish.
:08:10
Please be seated.
:08:12
Thank you.
:08:16
Would you, as the initiating officer,
care to begin?
:08:21
l will, unless you`d like to
claim aggrieved status.
:08:24
Yes, l would like to claim
aggrieved status.
:08:28
Very well, sir. Proceed.
:08:30
You have in your possession belongings
of mine including clothing...
:08:36
...furniture, personal effects
of a non-military nature...
:08:41
...which l`d like returned to me.
:08:44
lndeed. l will do so
as soon as possible.
:08:49
Thank you.
:08:50
Now we come to the matter
of the specific targeting...
:08:54
...of officers during engagements.
:08:57
You must know that in civilized
warfare, officers in the field...
:09:01
...must not be accorded inappropriate
levels of hostile attention.
:09:08
To your mind, what are appropriate
levels of hostile attention?
:09:12
lmagine the chaos that would follow...
:09:15
...from leaderless armies
having at each other.
:09:20
There must be gentlemen in command
to lead...
:09:24
...and, where necessary,
restrain their men.
:09:29
Restrain them from, say, targeting
civilians. Women, children and such.
:09:38
That`s a separate issue.
:09:40
No. l consider them linked.
:09:43
And as long as your soldiers
attack civilians...
:09:46
...l will order the shooting
of officers at every engagement.
:09:53
And my men are excellent marksmen.
