The French tried to build a canal here
before the Americans.

:01:16

At the height of their effort,
500 workers...

:01:19

... were dying every week
from malaria and yellow fever.

:01:23

They couldn't come up with
cemetery space fast enough...

:01:26

...not to mention the morale problem
all those crosses would have made.

:01:30

So they bought shiploads
of vinegar in Cuba...

:01:34

...and in each barrel,
they sealed one corpse.

:01:37

And then they sold them
as medical cadavers all over Europe.

:01:41

And for a while, that was
their principal source of profit.

:01:45

You see, this place has always had
a special way of dealing...

:01:50

... with both profit and death.

:02:12

As some of you may have heard,
there is a hurricane warning tonight.

:02:18

Well, Rangers do not wait
on good weather.

:02:22

Rangers do not wait
for a bright, sunshiny day.

:02:27

Oh, no. Rangers are trained to operate
in the worst possible conditions...

:02:33

...and take said conditions
and turn them against their enemy.

:02:37

You each have one rifle, one sidearm
and one white phosphorus grenade.

:02:43

This is a live E and E, so please
keep those weapons safetied...

:02:48

...so as not to shoot off
your nonexistent dicks.

:02:54

The rally point is a bunker
two clicks north of the LZ.

:02:59

You will split into teams of two.
