00:02:28 Hello, my GI friends.
00:05:25 - You understand this is only an alert? - I understand, sir.
00:08:41 Pork Chop's been lost. They were right in the trenches before anybody knew it.
00:12:45 I'll keep the third platoon in reserve until we get up there.
00:17:13 - Battalion, Colonel Davis. - Yes, sir.
00:22:40 Come on! Over me! Over me!
00:27:08 - Sir? - Hold it.
00:30:42 We'll try to hold the flank with one squad and advance with the rest.
00:36:48 Colonel Davis, sir.
00:40:04 No sense saving the third platoon just to bury us, Joe.
00:44:04 Chickens.
00:48:00 - How does everybody know that? - I heard 'em comin' in!
00:51:26 Not sure I've asked them to do the right thing at the right time.
00:55:21 Blue Six. Blue Six, this is King.
00:58:21 Yeah, and a thicker roof.
01:02:18 The order I got was to help you out with some mop-up.
01:04:55 Well, it's hardly beautiful. Maybe it grows on ya.
01:08:48 You keep trying.
01:11:52 "We must have help, or we can't hold the hill."
01:16:35 We won't have any link with the rear.
01:20:11 They're all up there.
01:24:50 Let the Chinese walk right in, blowin' that lousy bugle?
01:28:21 What do they lose if they don't?
01:33:57 - Somebody give me a hand! - Hold that door a minute.
