Transcript (see transcript listing)
Excerpt from [23:10] Another Butt Chewing?
GOLDMAN SNR: Excuse us, Captain.
GOLDMAN SNR: From where I'm standing, this whole unit is falling apart from its leader on down.
GOLDMAN: You know, sir, your rank and your Medal of Honor do not guarantee you the right to pass judgment here. Just because we don't come up to snuff in your eyes doesn't mean every damned one of these men isn't doing his job and more.
GOLDMAN SNR: You're walking a fine line with me, Myron. It's not only my job, it's my duty to pass judgment.
GOLDMAN: Alright, you said you wanted it straight, no bull. Well, I don't think that's entirely true. I think what you want is a nice, neat, little picture. Well, let me tell you something, we are nothing here but numbers and bodies, and every day they send us out there and every day they add one, subtract three - whatever looks good on the books, and from where I'm fighting this war, there's no more game plan than there is to shooting craps.
GOLDMAN SNR: In my experience, war's war. The only thing that changes is terrain and men.
GOLDMAN: Well, we have to give back every inch of terrain we took the day before. Now how do you suppose that makes the men feel? There's no heroes in this war. You're the only hero here.
