00:00:00THE END
00:00:30Oh
00:01:00Headquarters Marine Corps Base, San Diego, California
00:01:2415th of January 1942
00:01:26Subject
00:01:28Volunteers for a special battalion
00:01:31A call has been issued by the commanding general
00:01:34For volunteers for a special battalion to be formed at once
00:01:38Now this battalion will go into training for a particular combat duty overseas
00:01:44Those men who can pass the severe requirements of this unit
00:01:49Will be assured of immediate active service
00:01:52The work involves close combat with the enemy
00:01:56And only those men who are prepared to kill or be killed should apply
00:02:02Those who are accepted will be highly trained
00:02:06And will have every chance of survival
00:02:09But it must be understood
00:02:11The work is above and beyond the line of duty
00:02:14Before you can be selected for this raider battalion
00:02:25I must ask you a few questions
00:02:27The final decision of course will rest with Colonel Thorwald
00:02:30Yes sir
00:02:31Why do you want to kill Japs?
00:02:34That's what we're here for I reckon
00:02:35Right you are
00:02:36But you'll get enough of that just being with the Marine Corps
00:02:38What I want to know is
00:02:39How would you feel now with a Jap coming at you with a bayonet?
00:02:42There he is
00:02:42It's about as far away as that window
00:02:44I'd feel right silly Lieutenant Browning sir
00:02:49Down home in Kentucky
00:02:50A feller ain't much of a shot less than he can hit a squirrel through the head
00:02:53I don't see how anything as big as a Jap could get as close to that window
00:02:57But there'll be times when he can't shoot
00:02:59When you'll have to sneak up on a man and kill him with a knife
00:03:01Could you do that?
00:03:05Lieutenant
00:03:06What a feller tells you here won't be held against him will it?
00:03:09He'll never go outside that door Ted Rowe
00:03:11Lieutenant
00:03:13I'd done it
00:03:14A bunch of them Sheffield boys from Breather County found out I was sparking one of their gals
00:03:19One night when I was visiting her they snuck up around the cabin
00:03:22The gals seen them just in time
00:03:24I snuck out and in the dark I
00:03:28That's all right Ted Rowe
00:03:29But I still don't know just why you want to get into this
00:03:34Them Sheffields is in the war
00:03:37Why if one of them was to kill more Japs than I did
00:03:40Or get decorated or the like of that
00:03:41I'd never go home
00:03:43My pappy'd wallop the daylights out of me
00:03:45Big as I am
00:03:46What's your reason for joining up with the Raiders?
00:03:51Reason?
00:03:52Yeah
00:03:52For wanting to join a breakneck gang like this
00:03:54Why with your schooling and background you could make officers training
00:03:57In no time at all you'd be past where it's taken me years to get
00:04:01Now what's the reason?
00:04:02I'd rather not say sir
00:04:04Doesn't my being here speak for itself?
00:04:07It does not
00:04:08You'll give me a reason and a good one or stop wasting my time
00:04:11There's nothing I'm ashamed of
00:04:12Speaking of it may just defeat my purpose that's all
00:04:16Out with it
00:04:17All right
00:04:19I'm an ordained minister of the gospel
00:04:22When I left theological college I entered the marines instead of seeking a church
00:04:27Because I felt that in times like these
00:04:29So many men in the service
00:04:31I could do more good here
00:04:33Now I want the most dangerous post I can find
00:04:37For there beside me will be the men who will need me most
00:04:40I'm sorry Mac
00:04:41We got our chaplains
00:04:43What we want now is killers
00:04:45I'll do my duty sir
00:04:48I believe you will Harbison
00:04:55This Raider battalion is a tough outfit Mac
00:04:59You don't look salty enough
00:05:01Yeah yeah that's what they all say
00:05:03Nobody gives me a break
00:05:04Who?
00:05:05Who are you talking about?
00:05:06Who doesn't give you a break?
00:05:07Nobody gives me a break
00:05:08At home it was the same way
00:05:09To them I was just
00:05:10Just a no good kid
00:05:12No good kid huh?
00:05:15Where you from Montana?
00:05:17Nah nah Montana's my name
00:05:19Frankie Montana
00:05:19I'm from Brooklyn
00:05:20I wish I was there right now
00:05:22Oh this marine corps is a bum
00:05:23Sit down
00:05:26Cut out the rough stuff
00:05:28I'll tell you when to go
00:05:29Don't you ever again make a crack like that about the marine corps
00:05:34Now what's your bellyache about?
00:05:37Spit it out
00:05:38I got no squawk
00:05:38What'd you do get pinched or something
00:05:40Lie about it to get in the marine?
00:05:41You tell me
00:05:42You're a real toughie aren't you?
00:05:45Okay Frankie
00:05:46But what I want to know is
00:05:48Why did you volunteer for this job?
00:05:50You didn't have to
00:05:50I told you
00:05:51Everybody's always called me a no good kid
00:05:53I got sick of it
00:05:54Oh I never did anything much
00:05:56My old man he
00:05:58He wasn't my real father
00:05:59Started shoving me around when I was little
00:06:00I got sore
00:06:02Wouldn't work
00:06:02He threw me out when my
00:06:04My mother died and I
00:06:06I trained with a tough crowd
00:06:08Oh let it pass
00:06:09Let it pass
00:06:10Can I go now sir?
00:06:11Take it easy son
00:06:12You know something?
00:06:15They called me a no good kid once too
00:06:17Only they called it to me in Greek
00:06:19It was in a little seaport town
00:06:21You probably never heard of it
00:06:23What do you mean?
00:06:25I ain't so dumb
00:06:26Well I've been there
00:06:27Washing dishes in a black star liner
00:06:30Out of Bush Terminal
00:06:31Well what do you know about that?
00:06:35Well that's how I came to America
00:06:36Washing dishes on a boat
00:06:37Yeah I took the bumps kid
00:06:40I came up the hard way
00:06:41I never been to Annapolis
00:06:43But then you can get these
00:06:45Without going there too
00:06:46Frankie just because
00:06:48We're a couple of no good kids
00:06:49I'm going to take a chance
00:06:50Good morning sergeant major
00:07:13Is the old man busy?
00:07:14Never too busy to see you
00:07:15Go on in transport
00:07:16Thanks
00:07:19Transport
00:07:22Colonel
00:07:23Well well well
00:07:25I had an idea you'd show up
00:07:26Well when I heard you was back
00:07:27I just busted right in
00:07:29I'd have been so if you hadn't
00:07:30Come on sit down
00:07:30When was it last time Manila?
00:07:32Oh Colonel you forgot
00:07:34China
00:07:35The ANSI patrol
00:07:36Right right
00:07:37Well you know transport
00:07:37I wasn't on the river long
00:07:38Yeah I know
00:07:39And me and the rest of the old gang
00:07:41Could hardly believe it
00:07:42When we heard you quit the marines
00:07:43Well I felt bad about that
00:07:44But I had to do it that way
00:07:46I can talk about it now
00:07:47You know where I went
00:07:48We heard you were sick
00:07:49And went back to the states
00:07:50But that didn't seem like you
00:07:51Must have been a couple of army guys
00:07:53Where did you go Colonel?
00:07:57I joined the Chinese army
00:07:58Are you kidding sir?
00:08:01And not even the Chinese marines
00:08:02Or for?
00:08:04Well
00:08:04I could see this war with Japan coming
00:08:06You didn't have to look far for that
00:08:07I realized that our first line of defense
00:08:10Would be China
00:08:10So I decided to find out
00:08:12Just what her war potential was
00:08:13Just how long she could hold out
00:08:15I joined the Chinese 8th Root Army
00:08:18Remember that march they made
00:08:19During the civil war
00:08:206,000 miles clear across the country?
00:08:23Was they Chinese in the civil war?
00:08:25I thought there was General Sherman
00:08:27Marching along to
00:08:28Oh forgive me sir
00:08:30I wasn't trying to make no crack honest
00:08:32It's just that I don't read the papers
00:08:34Past the funny page
00:08:35Will you excuse me sir?
00:08:36Never mind transport
00:08:37Anyway that's all over
00:08:38All the Chinese are united now
00:08:41Against the Japs
00:08:41I've been hearing marvelous things
00:08:43About the
00:08:44The guerrilla tactics of the 8th Army
00:08:46This is right after Shanghai
00:08:47I made up my mind to find out about them
00:08:50I couldn't go in uniform
00:08:50So I went without
00:08:52Plenty of fighting
00:08:53Yes sir
00:08:54Transports you never saw anything like it
00:08:56Just look at those half-armed
00:08:58Ill-fed peasants
00:08:59They out-marched
00:09:00Out-fought
00:09:00Out-maneuvered the Japs
00:09:01At every turn
00:09:02Because they believed
00:09:03In what they were fighting for
00:09:04Because every man had only one desire
00:09:06To do his duty
00:09:07Well I learned a lot of things
00:09:09That are not in textbooks
00:09:10And I came back to the States
00:09:11To tell about them
00:09:12Then
00:09:13Pearl Harbor
00:09:14And here we go again
00:09:14I don't ask for nothing better sir
00:09:16Transport
00:09:18We're going to try out something new
00:09:19Headquarters given me a free hand
00:09:21You'll see some fun
00:09:21Before we're through
00:09:22I hope them Japs
00:09:23They got a sense of you
00:09:24And they're going to need it
00:09:25I want you for my personal runner again
00:09:27So just wait for orders
00:09:28Yes sir
00:09:28As far as I'm concerned
00:09:34You're okay
00:09:35The rest is up to the colonel
00:09:37And good luck
00:09:38Thank you sir
00:09:39Hey there
00:09:43Hey wait a minute
00:09:44Wait a minute

00:09:52I was here first
00:09:53I was next in line
00:09:54I went down the scuttlebutt
00:09:55To get a drink of water
00:09:56And he aced himself
00:09:56Oh what are you trying to do?
00:09:59Give me them papers
00:10:00Hey
00:10:05There's the same name

00:10:10No no

00:10:16Mother
00:10:16Mrs. Molly Richter
00:10:18Mother
00:10:18How come?
00:10:20What is this?
00:10:21That's right Gunner
00:10:22We both have the same mother
00:10:23Mom threw my father out
00:10:24When I was a baby
00:10:25And married his old man
00:10:26A Dutchman
00:10:27Can you imagine that?
00:10:28Why his old man
00:10:28Hadn't drawn a sober breath
00:10:29In ten years
00:10:30Could you blame her?
00:10:31Cut it
00:10:31Cut it
00:10:32Now you stand over there
00:10:34And you stand over there
00:10:36Now tell me you
00:10:39Richter
00:10:41Why are you so bent
00:10:43On getting in ahead of him
00:10:44And vice versa
00:10:45You first
00:10:46I enlisted to fight Japs
00:10:47The sooner I get at it
00:10:48The better
00:10:49Wouldn't be just a grandstand play
00:10:51Would it?
00:10:52What do you mean?
00:10:53There's a girl
00:10:54Who is she?
00:10:56Her name's Kathleen
00:10:57You keep her out of this
00:10:59Kathleen who?
00:11:00Kathleen Corrigan
00:11:01It's a girl back in Boston
00:11:02Her father's in the marine barracks
00:11:04At the navy yard there
00:11:05Quartermaster Sergeant Corrigan
00:11:06What?
00:11:08Jim Corrigan's daughter?
00:11:10Why she's a little baby
00:11:11I bounced her on my knees
00:11:13In her second year at city college
00:11:14No
00:11:15Well get on with it
00:11:18Get on
00:11:18That's all
00:11:19Except this dope joined the marines
00:11:20To make a hit with her
00:11:21Well that's a lie
00:11:22Why
00:11:22Hey wipe down the both of you
00:11:24It can't be going on all day like this
00:11:27We'll toss for it
00:11:28The loser goes to the end of the line
00:11:30Why here's a coin sir
00:11:32Thanks
00:11:33Heads
00:11:35Heads it is
00:11:37You wait
00:11:37And at the end of the line
00:11:39Hey wait a minute
00:11:43Hey wait a minute
00:11:44Let me see that coin
00:11:45Quiet down the beat
00:11:47Quiet
00:11:48Quiet
00:11:48I see you've been in the brig four times
00:11:53And always for the same thing
00:11:54Fighting
00:11:54Well you've got to be tough to be a marine sir
00:11:56Them monkeys will run all over you if you ain't
00:11:58You've also been in the ring
00:12:00What name did you fight under?
00:12:01Pig iron sir
00:12:02I was middleweight champion of east new jersey once
00:12:04Why did they call you pig iron?
00:12:07Well my old man had a little farm
00:12:08Just outside of town
00:12:09I used to go around collecting garbage
00:12:11And the kids started calling me piggy
00:12:13Well I got pretty strong
00:12:15Even those cans around
00:12:16So after a while
00:12:17I started to beat the town kids up
00:12:18Finally they stopped calling it
00:12:20Then when I started fighting
00:12:22They called me pig iron
00:12:23Which I didn't mind
00:12:24I'm beginning to understand your record Matthews
00:12:27You felt that people looked down on you
00:12:30On account of your job
00:12:31When you found you could make them look up to you
00:12:34With your fists
00:12:35You kept on using them
00:12:36Now it's got to be second nature with you
00:12:38You hit first and think afterward
00:12:40Well it's kind of hard to think of it that way
00:12:42When the kids hold their noses when you walk by
00:12:44I see that's a lot in that Matthews
00:12:47But in the outfit that I'm forming
00:12:49That's the first lesson to learn
00:12:50That every man's job is important
00:12:52Whether he carries a rifle
00:12:54Cooks in the galley
00:12:55Drives a truck
00:12:55Or works as a messman
00:12:56It's the service that counts
00:12:57Yes sir
00:12:58You'll do Matthews
00:13:00Just why did you volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:05My brother died at Pearl Harbor
00:13:06They didn't find enough of him to bury
00:13:09What caused you to volunteer for this raider battalion?
00:13:12I fought in Spain
00:13:14I fought in Greece
00:13:15This fight is all the same
00:13:17Fascism
00:13:18Why do you want to join this outfit?
00:13:21My sister was caught by the Japanese in Manila
00:13:23We never heard a word from her
00:13:24But we read in the newspapers what they did
00:13:27Now what about you?
00:13:29Three years I've been a Marine
00:13:30I haven't been in a fight yet
00:13:31This is my chance
00:13:34Why do you want to sign up?
00:13:36I just don't like Japs
00:13:42I want to sign up
00:13:43I want to sign up
00:13:44I want to sign up
00:13:45I want to sign up
00:13:46I want to sign up
00:13:47I want to sign up
00:13:48I want to sign up
00:13:48I want to sign up
00:13:49Sir, the battalion is formed
00:13:50Take your post
00:13:52At ease
00:13:56Sit down, boys
00:13:59And make yourselves comfortable
00:14:00The smoking lamp is lit
00:14:02Boys, this is our first get-together
00:14:10but he won't be our last you probably wonder what this is all about well i can't tell you
00:14:16now you'll learn as you go along but i can say this you are to receive a course of training
00:14:21unique in the history of the marine corps if you justify the effort to be spent on you
00:14:27you may be able to point the way in which this this tremendously difficult war in the pacific
00:14:31can be won briefly can be won by teamwork by trained men fighting together with the precision
00:14:37of a machine but it's more than that it must be a harmonious machine now you start with the
00:14:45fundamentals and at the bottom of everything is self-discipline you must start by casting
00:14:52out all prejudices racial religious every other kind i want you to feel free to ask questions
00:14:59even embarrassing ones come to me with suggestions we're going to be more than officers and men in
00:15:06this we're going to be comrades what i eat you will leave where i sleep you will sleep i will take
00:15:12you into my confidence whenever it's possible before going into battle we'll have a meeting in which
00:15:17i'll explain our plans and objectives so that each of you can make a more intelligent contribution to the
00:15:23result afterward we'll have another meeting to criticize the way in in which the operation was
00:15:30conducted we'll fight and endure and win together ahead of you lies a hard road you'll often have bad
00:15:47food and very little of that many times your bed will be a muddy ditch you'll march until you think
00:15:53you're exhausted and then be called on to start out again to carry you through the rough spots before
00:15:58you teamwork is needed you'll have to help each other the chinese have a word for it it is gung ho
00:16:09gung to work ho harmony i propose it as our motto gung ho come on now give it to me
00:16:21pearl harbor is history now by two months
00:16:24from 15 000 volunteers the colonel has accepted about 900 of us and our training begins calisthenics
00:16:31the development of a vigorous body to better house a healthy mind and spirit
00:16:36the colonel has warned us it isn't going to be easy and that's the prize understatement of 1942
00:16:42our objective is already selected and we'll attack when our preparation in the tradition of gung ho is
00:16:47complete realizing that we'll shove off the minute we're in shape we settle down to the sizable job
00:16:53of becoming the second raider battalion and we know the reason for this sweat and bodily pain
00:16:59the old man explains over and over that these exercises and all the others to follow will pay
00:17:05off on some enemy held beach or in some jap infested jungle we learn to defend and attack without the aid of
00:17:11weapons you can do a lot with a strong pair of hands a healthy body and a quick mind this is the
00:17:18science of judo we learn to swim through fire how to jump from ships there's the science of scaling walls
00:17:25and barriers anything the enemy may place in our way or hide behind this is our security weapon without
00:17:32which a raider loses his whole identity one of our boys is a filipino and an expert with the knife
00:17:38he teaches us the hundred uses of it a handy harmless tool or a deadly convincing weapon
00:17:46now the training becomes more intensive the officers are right along with us every ache every bruise
00:17:52every step of the way their bars and insignia are left in the barracks we know their rank because we eat
00:17:59sleep work and play together but they have our respect for an officer in this outfit has to have what it
00:18:06takes some of us are going to die for democracy and freedom and equality but right here in the second
00:18:13raider battalion we're going to live it while we can and no matter how tough the going gets we know the
00:18:18old man is always watching out for us we bridge barbed wire entanglements with our own bodies
00:18:25and learn not to let this happen we discover that the bayonet is no ornament on the end of a rifle
00:18:31and bayonet drill is rough when we reach a canyon or a gorge or declivity perhaps we can cross it this
00:18:37way always do the unexpected if we trip or fall our bodies are trained to respond instantly a raider
00:18:45is never out of firing position nor is he ever relaxed he's always on the alert for sudden attack
00:18:51from any quarter and his body is taught to respond automatically there are few rules to this fight
00:18:57we're in and so we take on a few tricks unpleasant yes but sometimes highly effective in some of the
00:19:06final cross-country hikes we're traveling 45 miles in eight hours with full pack and short rations
00:19:12you have to run just about every step of the way they're designed to further reduce our number
00:19:17they do take it forward at ease now man i want no falling out and if you do fall out you fall right
00:19:29out of this battalion we're all starting and we're all finishing now get your gear set
00:19:48oh mary what's the matter oh sudden pain like a like a knife lieutenant oh lieutenant
00:20:00what's the matter sudden pain i guess i'll be all right
00:20:03report to sick bay yes sir sergeant
00:20:11come up my answer hurry and turn left hurry
00:20:17I guess this is as close to heaven as I'll ever get a swell meal a beautiful girl and
00:20:46sad to say Papa Corrigan gone for the evening my oh my the barracks were never like this is this the
00:20:52new judo grip oh excuse me I didn't realize I was holding you so tight yes you didn't I wonder
00:20:58what happened to Kurt are you certain you left where we'd be here well sure I did but he's
00:21:02probably so exhausted that he's doing bunk fatigue right now don't answer it it's probably some poor
00:21:15marine trying to work his way through officers candidate school by selling magazine subscriptions
00:21:19marines don't sell magazines my friend
00:21:22oh it's good to see you come on in you're looking prettier than ever oh thank you you're looking
00:21:29pretty good yourself hey why don't you write about let him know you're coming well I wanted to surprise
00:21:33you boy you sure didn't gosh it's good to have you with us again oh it's good to be here Kurt hey
00:21:38remember me I'm still here now don't remind us we're trying to forget it how's my mother grand
00:21:43oh she told me to give you something she did what this hey what about me she sent me one too she did
00:21:50good not until you do the dishes as you promised get going with your mess duty it's gonna be the
00:21:55best job of days washing you ever so
00:21:57ahoy raiders
00:22:14break legs boys gather in closer sit down the smoking lamp is lit
00:22:21I want to give you some good news your period of training in this area is over we are now headed for
00:22:36the real thing this is not an orthodox war in the Pacific the Japanese are crafty tenacious tough but
00:22:46they have a weakness it lies in their inability to adapt themselves to unusual situations you
00:22:53probably wondered why I place such emphasis on physical conditioning control cooperation it was
00:22:59to enable us to exploit to the utmost the element of surprise and thus capitalize on the enemy's
00:23:04weakness we must be able to land where they think we cannot to cross terrain which they think impassable
00:23:10this means hard work but by subjecting ourselves to unusual hardships we'll gain our objectives more
00:23:17effectively and at a minimum cost of human lives if you can accomplish your initial task others can be
00:23:24set up there's no limit to what can be done can you do it now what about some chow
00:23:30what are you doing here waiting for you
00:23:53Kathleen, I haven't much time.
00:23:55Is there some place we could go sit down and be alone?
00:23:58Alone in San Diego?
00:23:59Impossible.
00:24:00But I know a place where we can sit down.
00:24:02Swell.
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:08Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly pudding, and pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:13What do you have?
00:24:14Will you repeat that, please?
00:24:16Apple pie, custard pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, lemon pie, peach pie, jello, brown belly pudding, and pineapple upside down cake.
00:24:23What looks like, jello?
00:24:24Here are folks all ready for you.
00:24:26What do you have?
00:24:26We'd like a couple of hamburgers, please.
00:24:29So would I.
00:24:30Don't you know this is Meatless Tuesday?
00:24:32Just when I felt like having a hamburger.
00:24:34I can't understand it.
00:24:35We got Meatless Tuesday just so the guys in the Army and Navy can have all the meat they want.
00:24:39So what happened?
00:24:40On Meatless Tuesday, the Army and Navy come in here and ask for hamburgers.
00:24:43I don't get it.
00:24:44Okay, okay, you win.
00:24:46We'll settle for two coffees.
00:24:47That suits me.
00:24:48I ought to have been a bookkeeper.
00:24:50Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.
00:24:51Well, this isn't exactly the sort of place I had in mind.
00:24:55I planned a more romantic kind of spot.
00:24:58You know, like you see in the movies.
00:25:00One with the moon and trees and stars.
00:25:03Maybe even a little soft music.
00:25:05Well, at least we have the music.
00:25:07Hey, that's something anyway.
00:25:08Oh, it's good to have your loan for a change.
00:25:20Know that wolf in uniform won't come barging in on us.
00:25:23You know, ever since I can remember it, you and Larry have been scrapping about something or other.
00:25:27That was kid stuff.
00:25:28It isn't anymore.
00:25:30Kathy, I think we're shipping out soon.
00:25:32Gosh, I hate to see you go.
00:25:37Yeah, I guess you wouldn't be happy otherwise.
00:25:39No, I wouldn't.
00:25:40It's what I've been waiting for.
00:25:41What I've been trained for.
00:25:43I'm going to miss you terribly.
00:25:45Will you?
00:25:45Really?
00:25:46Of course I will.
00:25:47Oh, that makes it a lot easier for me then.
00:25:50You see, I just couldn't leave without telling you that...
00:25:54Yes, Gary.
00:25:55Well, I'm not very good with words.
00:25:58I'm not a smooth talker like Larry.
00:26:00But I want you to know how I feel about you.
00:26:03Oh, don't stop me now or I'll never get the nerve to finish.
00:26:07You see, Kathy, some guys need pictures of their girls to remind them of what they look like.
00:26:13But not me.
00:26:15I keep seeing you all the time, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
00:26:19I keep hearing your name as if someone was whispering it to me.
00:26:23I got it so bad I can't think so.
00:26:27Kathy, am I making a sucker out of myself?
00:26:29I mean, have I got the right to think of you as my girl?
00:26:33To count on you to be waiting here for me when I come back?
00:26:36I'd like to know the answer to that, too.
00:26:39How'd you find us?
00:26:40Sergeant Corrigan told me that Kathleen usually stops here after work.
00:26:43I wanted to see her.
00:26:44All right, you've seen her. Now blow.
00:26:45Oh, but I want a good look.
00:26:46Listen, Larry, if you don't get out of here, you won't look at anything.
00:26:48Now look forward, break it up, please.
00:26:50Here are folks.
00:26:51Nice hot coffee.
00:26:53What are you going to have?
00:26:56A hamburger.
00:26:57Hamburger.
00:26:58See what I mean?
00:26:59This is Meatless Tuesday.
00:27:00I can't understand it.
00:27:02We got to get it.
00:27:03I'm still going to be a bookkeeper.
00:27:06Monday this, Tuesday that, Thursday something else.
00:27:15Well, Kathy, this is goodbye.
00:27:17Goodbye.
00:27:21Goodbye, Curt.
00:27:23Take care of yourself.
00:27:29Goodbye, Larry.
00:27:31Goodbye, and come back.
00:27:33So long.
00:27:35Bye, Kathy.
00:27:35We'll be seeing you.
00:27:36We're under orders now.
00:27:49Our gear is packed, and about 600 of us file a board awaiting transport.
00:27:54Our destination?
00:27:56Unannounced.
00:27:57We're shoving off into the unknown.
00:27:59The big ship heads out to the open sea, and her boiling wake testifies to the urgency of our mission.
00:28:09The friendly shores of home fade into the mist.
00:28:13Pearl Harbor, five months following the day of infamy.
00:28:17Silence settles over the ship as we ease past the wreckage.
00:28:21There they are, the Arizona with her masts and torn bridge thrusting out of the water.
00:28:30The rusty hull of the capsized Oklahoma.
00:28:33Their guns are cold and unmanned.
00:28:36Mute testimony to the power of Japan.
00:28:42There are men in the second-rated battalion who lost brothers on those ships.
00:28:47Can we help even the score?
00:28:49We dare not fail.
00:28:52Take a good look, Raiders.
00:28:55That's what the colonel meant when he told us about them Japs.
00:29:04After three more months of intensive training, we're ready.
00:29:08We know it.
00:29:10We're confident and sure of ourselves, but not reckless.
00:29:14The Navy has won the battles of the Coral Sea in Midway.
00:29:17But the Japs have taken Singapore, Burma, the East Indies, and are threatening both Australia and Alaska.
00:29:25No, there's little to make us overconfident.
00:29:28Oh, baby.
00:29:29You know, I always did like a nice hot bath before dinner.
00:29:36What makes you think you're going to get any dinner?
00:29:41Yeah, that should hold you for a while, Mac.
00:29:43Thanks.
00:29:43All I want to know is, when does the war start?
00:29:48I'll need it to take a rest.
00:29:50I've been climbing so many hills, I'm beginning to feel like a goat.
00:29:53I look like a goat.
00:29:54I act like a goat.
00:29:55I'm even starting to think like a goat.
00:29:57Did you say think?
00:30:00Yeah, why?
00:30:01Oh, nothing.
00:30:01I just wondered.
00:30:04Eh, what did he mean by that?
00:30:05A Navy spokesman has indicated there are about 10,000 Japanese troops on Kiska and Optum.
00:30:20And here is a Navy bulletin just handed me.
00:30:22U.S. Marines have landed in the Solomon Islands on Guadalcanal and Tulagi.
00:30:26The enemy is counterattacking with rapidity and vigor.
00:30:29The fighting is savage and losses on both sides are heavy.
00:30:32In the first hours, we have lost one cruiser sunk, two cruisers, two destroyers, and one transport damaged.
00:30:38The Navy department cautions that considerable losses must be expected.
00:30:44Now, you men, listen to me.
00:30:47This is it.
00:30:49We move out of here before morning, so get all your gear together.
00:30:52Where do we go, Gunner?
00:30:53Come on, shake the lid off.
00:30:54When do we eat?
00:30:54Hey, don't we get any sleep?
00:30:56Ah, you've been asleep since you were born.
00:30:57You'll get plenty of sleep in the next eight days, and I'll promise you that.
00:31:00Now, move out of here as fast as you get your gear together.
00:31:03Line up outside by platoons, and let's go!
00:31:11Two hundred ten of us, from the 15,000 who started,
00:31:15and were shoving off without convoy, without escort, alone.
00:31:20Not on a transport, a cruiser, or a destroyer.
00:31:23We pack ourselves into two submarines.
00:31:26This is a new one in the history of American warfare.
00:31:30But we're the Raiders, organized and trained to do the unexpected.
00:31:34All right, men, just follow transport.
00:31:43He'll show you the bunk's assigned to you.
00:31:45Come on, snap it up.
00:31:46Hurry up.
00:31:47Move along.
00:31:48Move along.
00:31:49Come on, move along.
00:31:50There's more guys in the back here.
00:31:52That's it.
00:31:52Move along.
00:31:53Snap it up.
00:31:54Bull in your neck.
00:31:55Knucklehead, that's it.
00:31:56Come on, move along.
00:31:58Move along, boys.
00:32:00Move along.
00:32:01I used to think the subway was crowded.
00:32:17Man, there's more people in here than the whole town where I come from.
00:32:20I haven't been pushed around so much since my horse fell with me in a cattle stampede.
00:32:24Me, I don't mind this at all.
00:32:25When I was a kid, my whole family used to sleep in one room.
00:32:28How many in your family?
00:32:29Twelve.
00:32:31That's when I joined up.
00:32:32But it's been quite some time since I heard from my folks.
00:32:42All right, all right, guys.
00:32:44Pipe down.
00:32:45The colonel wants to say a few words to you.
00:32:46Well, boys, now you know how a sardine feels.
00:32:51I, uh, I want you to stay in your bunks as much as possible, as it'll be better for everyone.
00:32:57I can assure you all that no matter how you feel, no matter what trick your imagination may play on you,
00:33:02even though we stay submerged for many hours together,
00:33:05that'll always be air enough for all of us to breathe.
00:33:08The reconditioning system has a margin of safety far beyond that required by the greatest number of men
00:33:14that could be packed inside the hull.
00:33:16For the present, we're running on the surface, but we'll submerge as soon as possible.
00:33:21However, you'll have ample warning before we do.
00:33:24What about it, gang? Can we take it?
00:33:26Go!
00:33:28You'll start serving chow in an hour.
00:33:30You'll make your way to the mess and relays according to the schedules given to the squad leaders.
00:33:46Man, I don't like this.
00:33:50What is it, Rube?
00:33:51Everything's going to be all right.
00:33:53Feels like everything's pressing in on me.
00:33:55Don't think about it.
00:33:57Close your eyes.
00:33:58I can still see it.
00:34:03You never could stand being crowded in.
00:34:05I can feel it.
00:34:06Think of something else, Rube.
00:34:10Think of your home.
00:34:12Think of the sheep coming down to the brook to drink.
00:34:15Didn't have no sheep.
00:34:16We all kept hogs.
00:34:18All right.
00:34:19Think of the hogs.
00:34:21Count them, Rube.
00:34:23Count them.
00:34:23One, two, three, four.
00:34:34Keep counting, Rube.
00:34:35Keep counting.
00:34:36Can't. Four's all I had.
00:34:40You'll be all right, Rube.
00:34:42Just keep counting those four over and over again.
00:34:48One, two, three.
00:34:53Oh, you know, Frankie, I just remembered something.
00:34:57You know, I never did tell you that I'd been to Brooklyn, did I?
00:35:00Yeah, I used to go there to Ebbets Field to see the Dodgers play.
00:35:03No kidding.
00:35:03Sure.
00:35:04Oh, boy, the Dodgers.
00:35:06You know, that's where I learned my marksmanship.
00:35:08How do you mean?
00:35:08Tossing pop bottles at the umpire.
00:35:15All right, boys, it's a dive.
00:35:19Now just relax.
00:35:23Now just a κΈΈ.
00:35:36Now just relax.
00:35:38Now just click the heart of John.
00:35:39Now just relax.
00:35:40Now just relax.
00:35:41Now Drop water of paper.
00:35:42Now just relax.
00:35:44Okay, you're welcome.
00:35:45Now just relax.
00:35:46Nice.
00:35:47I'm the hoamiento.
00:35:48Now just relax.
00:35:49Now just relax.
00:35:50It's like riding a roller coaster.
00:36:20Stick that in the sentries back, you'd make him say, uncle.
00:36:28Hey, Parson, you'd make him call for the whole congregation.
00:36:31Let's see.
00:36:35I like a little more weight on the end.
00:36:38Oh, Doc.
00:36:40Yes, Kozorowski?
00:36:41What do you think of the weight of this knife?
00:36:45Not bad.
00:36:46By the way, is there any place where you can stab him in so he won't make any sound at all?
00:36:50Well, the heart's the best chance, but wherever you stick a man, he's liable to cry out instinctively.
00:36:55See?
00:36:55That's one way to keep him from letting out a peep.
00:36:58And?
00:37:00That's right, Lieutenant.
00:37:01The main thing is force.
00:37:03Plenty of force.
00:37:04You know, it takes a surgeon to realize how tough the human body is, so when you hit a man, give it all you've got.
00:37:09You can tell.
00:37:10You can tell with a feel if the blade is penetrating.
00:37:12If it hasn't, hit him again.
00:37:15Well, good hunting.
00:37:16You know, there's still a much more effective way of doing that.
00:37:20Let me show you.
00:37:20Oh, no, you don't.
00:37:31Doc, Doc.
00:37:34Quiet, boys.
00:37:35He's coming, boys.
00:37:35Quiet.
00:37:36All right, men.
00:37:47All right, men, now.
00:37:57Hey!
00:37:59Hey!
00:37:59Hey!
00:37:59Hey!
00:38:00Hey!
00:38:00Hey!
00:38:00Hey!
00:38:01Hey!
00:38:01Hey!
00:38:02Hey, your final birthday, Pete.
00:38:03I have a beat.
00:38:04Oh, you shouldn't have done it.
00:38:06Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
00:38:07Are you kidding?
00:38:08Is he only sixteen?
00:38:10Sweet sixteen.
00:38:11Sweet sixteen and never been kissed?
00:38:13Uh...
00:38:14Who's never been kissed?
00:38:15Why, if I had a sin for every time I've been kissed, I'd be kissed?
00:38:18Hold it!
00:38:19Hold it, guys.
00:38:20Hold it.
00:38:21How old do you really think he is?
00:38:23Twelve.
00:38:23Twenty-five.
00:38:24Twenty-one.
00:38:24Twenty-one.
00:38:25Oh, he's a hurt.
00:38:25Da, da, da.
00:38:27Gunner isn't a day over sixty.
00:38:29The only reason he looks older is because he worries so much.
00:38:32All right.
00:38:33Have your little laugh and give me a favor.
00:38:35Happy birthday to Gunner.
00:38:37Happy birthday to Gunner.
00:38:39Happy birthday, dear Gunner.
00:38:42Happy birthday to you.
00:38:46Wait a minute.
00:38:47Wait a minute.
00:38:48Make a wish.
00:38:49Get it.
00:38:50Go.
00:38:51All right.
00:38:52Blowing out my candles on my cake.
00:38:54It's a fine day.
00:38:55Whoa.
00:38:56All right.
00:38:57All right, you guys.
00:38:58The Colonel wants all hands to have one of these.
00:38:59Hey, Transport, what do you got?
00:39:00The evening papers?
00:39:01What do the doctors do with Philly?
00:39:02These are maps.
00:39:03Tell us where we're going.
00:39:04Got any pinup girls, Transport?
00:39:05No, but I got a nice picture of myself in a bathing suit.
00:39:06Want me to autograph it for you?
00:39:07Where is it?
00:39:08Huh?
00:39:09Hey, Transport, I don't understand this.
00:39:10What are you expecting to do?
00:39:11Talk to you?
00:39:12Study them, knuckleheads.
00:39:13Study them.
00:39:14Get to know them.
00:39:15I don't understand them.
00:39:16Hey, Transport, I don't understand this.
00:39:17What are you expecting to do?
00:39:18Talk to you?
00:39:19Study them, knuckleheads.
00:39:20Study them.
00:39:21Get to know them.
00:39:22Better than you have a wife, you've got them from me.
00:39:24The Colonel is willing to ask your questions about them later on.
00:39:25All I can see is a couple of islands drawn here.
00:39:34What did you expect?
00:39:35Moving pictures of Dorothy Lamore on them islands?
00:39:38Is that bad?
00:39:46There they are.
00:39:47South Sea Islands.
00:39:48Gee, I can remember when I used to be out harvesting in the North 80,
00:39:53and a waving wheat would look like the sea.
00:39:56I'd wonder if I'd ever see places like Tahiti and Gilbert and Marshalls.
00:40:01Do you ever want to go there, Frankie?
00:40:03Nope. Any place that ain't got a pool room don't interest me.
00:40:06We should arrive in Area 7 at approximately 20 hundred.
00:40:12Very good.
00:40:18Let it go, Gunner.
00:40:21Ahoy Raiders!
00:40:24Boys, by now you've all had a chance to study your maps.
00:40:28I know you've been wondering why we're bound for.
00:40:31Well, now I can let you in on the secret.
00:40:33Our objective is Macon Island.
00:40:36We should arrive about next Wednesday.
00:40:39Macon Island has been particularly troublesome, boys.
00:40:42It threatens our line of communication with Australia.
00:40:45It's constantly being strengthened,
00:40:47and if the Japs should attempt to seize some more in the Fijis,
00:40:50Macon, undoubtedly, would be one of the takeoff points.
00:40:53We'll go ashore at dawn.
00:40:55Seize it, kill every Jap, and destroy the installations.
00:40:59Now as to the odds.
00:41:01There are about two Japs for every one of you.
00:41:04As they are the defending force, you can multiply that by three.
00:41:08Six to one.
00:41:10How can we overcome that advantage?
00:41:13Platoon leaders, take over.
00:41:16Well, men, you've heard the Colonel.
00:41:19And the odds are six to one.
00:41:22How are we going to overcome that?
00:41:25Arbison.
00:41:26By the element of surprise, sir.
00:41:28Good.
00:41:29What else?
00:41:30I'm working together.
00:41:32I have a plan so well laid out that every man knows what to do and does it.
00:41:36And that's the most important thing.
00:41:37If you haven't got that, you have nothing.
00:41:39Now you're all part of a team.
00:41:42Team for killing.
00:41:44After studying your maps, you'll probably notice a lot of things that are very familiar to you.
00:41:50Now what do you recognize?
00:41:52I recognize the beach we land on every night at Honolulu.
00:41:55Same shape.
00:41:56There's the building we blew up every night and built again the next day.
00:41:58It's Mark Government House here.
00:41:59And there's a radio station just where we had it.
00:42:02Now that's good map reading.
00:42:05Now we laid out Macon Island exactly as it is.
00:42:08And you've been rehearsing for the things you have to do.
00:42:11Although you don't know it, from the very beginning, you men have been training for this rig.
00:42:20And when you get there, you want to know the things you've been trained to do.
00:42:26There should be nothing to it.
00:42:28Any questions?
00:42:30All right.
00:42:33I want you to look over your maps again and again.
00:42:36If you're in doubt about anything, just tell me.
00:42:39I'll try to straighten you out.
00:42:42Ahoy Raiders!
00:42:43Ahoy Raiders!
00:42:57Colonel, there's Macon Island.
00:42:59We arrive there tomorrow.
00:43:00We contacted the other submarine and arranged the rendezvous.
00:43:02Good.
00:43:03Our information is that Luckinor on the north and Meraki on the south are possibly fortified.
00:43:08But Macon is the Jap strongpoint east of Jadua.
00:43:11I suppose the Japs patrol these waters, from there at least.
00:43:14We're in Jap waters now.
00:43:16I doubled all watches at sunrise.
00:43:18Sir.
00:43:19We've just picked up some radio telephone messages.
00:43:22Japanese.
00:43:23They're too strong to come from a land station.
00:43:25Sounds like a carrier talking to planes.
00:43:27Gun him!
00:43:28Yes, sir.
00:43:29Get the men down and keep them below until further orders.
00:43:33Aye aye, sir.
00:43:34All right, Ben.
00:43:35Knock it off.
00:43:36Clear the deck.
00:43:37All right, boys.
00:43:53Make it snappy.
00:43:54Wait a minute. There's one missing. Where's Tetra?
00:44:10He was topside with us, sir, when we first went up.
00:44:12He hasn't slept very well since he's been aboard.
00:44:14He just lays awake nights counting those four hogs of you.
00:44:24Oh, my God.
00:44:54We're after a man on deck, Tedrow.
00:44:56Is there anything we can do, Captain?
00:45:06Battle stations, surface.
00:45:24We can't do it.
00:45:26Sorry, Captain.
00:45:54Well, looks like old Rogue got enough air that time, huh?
00:46:24Oh, my God.
00:46:54Oh, my God.
00:47:24All right.
00:47:25Take it easy, guys.
00:47:26Nothing serious.
00:47:31Look.
00:47:32Look, we're breaking up.
00:47:33Water's coming in.
00:47:35Back, sir.
00:47:36Don't lie to fool me.
00:47:37We're going to drown.
00:47:38I tell you, we're going to drown.
00:47:42What are you trying to do?
00:47:43Start a panic?
00:47:45I'm sorry, sir.
00:47:49I'm sorry, sir.
00:47:50Okay, son.
00:47:51Back in your bunk.
00:47:56None of you think he's yellow, either.
00:48:02That can happen to all of us.
00:48:09You know, a guy could get killed in here.
00:48:15All ahead.

00:48:23Orders, Colonel.
00:48:24This isn't a hunting trip.
00:48:25We've only got two torpedoes with instructions not to use them except for defense.
00:48:28My orders are to get you there.
00:48:29And to me, that means all of you.
00:48:30All of you.

00:56:37Montana, Pig Iron, Tedrow, Richter, Orion.
00:56:42Advance from this point.
00:56:43Wipe out that machine gun nest.

00:57:06If my luck is bad, Kurt, you're next.
00:57:08Then Larry, Frankie, and Tedrow.
00:57:10So long, fellas.
00:57:11There goes nothing.
00:57:12Well, ν.

00:57:49Yeah, maybe I'll have better luck.
00:57:51Kurt, hmm?
00:57:52I, I just wanted to say that was all malarkey about Kathleen and me.
00:57:59I always tried to make you think she cared for me.
00:58:02Well, she didn't.
00:58:03I'm not in love with her.
00:58:05Guess I got in the habit of scrapping with you about everything.
00:58:08Then she came along.
00:58:09You're such a serious guy.
00:58:11You never were a good liar, Larry.
00:58:15Larry!
00:58:22Hey, Frankie, what you doing?
00:58:51The colonel always said if we got stuck, to use our heads and do the unexpected.
00:58:56I used to run the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat with the smallest AC at Greenpoint,
00:59:01but not dressed like this.
00:59:10Start shooting now, Rube.
00:59:11Give them something to worry about.
00:59:12Come on!
00:59:20Come on, Harry!
00:59:22Come on!
00:59:23Come on!
00:59:32Come on.
00:59:37Come on!
00:59:38Let's go.
01:00:08Let's go.
01:00:38I saw what you did, kid.
01:01:00I thought it was great.
01:01:01I'm proud of you, Frankie.
01:01:03Thanks, Lieutenant.
01:01:07All right, you can take it from here.
01:01:19You'll be all right, Mac.
01:01:20Put him down right here.
01:01:24Well, pig iron, old boy.
01:01:28Say, what are they trying to do to you?
01:01:31Oh, can't talk, huh?
01:01:33A marine that can't squawk.
01:01:34That's not a bad idea.
01:01:37You know something?
01:01:42I almost got you, boy.
01:01:44Looks like you're due for a transfusion.
01:01:46Oh, Doc!
01:01:47Come here, will you please?
01:01:48Sit tight, biggie.
01:01:49I'll be right back.
01:01:50You better take a look at this.
01:01:57Wait a minute.
01:02:10I'll be right back.
01:02:14Thanks, Peggy.
01:02:44Carbo, take a fire group across, scout the hospital area.
01:02:50We'll cover you from here with machine gun fire.
01:02:52Aye, aye, sir. Harbison, take the left flank.
01:02:55Tedrow, the right. Let's go.
01:03:14Max!
01:03:35Chris calling CP. Chris calling CP.
01:03:38Hold it, Chris.
01:03:40Crangle, Chris wants to talk to you, sir.
01:03:43Command post speaking. Come in, Chris.
01:03:48Three enemy planes approaching from the east.
01:03:50I see them, Chris.
01:03:52Halt advance. Maintain your positions.
01:03:54Do not fire on planes. Do not fire on planes.
01:03:57Got it, Chris?
01:03:58Roger.
01:03:59All companies. All companies, come in, please.
01:04:03Company commanders, report to rendezvous B.
01:04:07Report to rendezvous B.
01:04:13Boys, those planes change the situation.
01:04:15Now, as you know, our position is here.
01:04:18The radio station there.
01:04:19And it's directing those planes.
01:04:21We've got to knock it out before they return with reinforcements.
01:04:24By the way, the way.
01:04:25Pretty much for a good race.
01:04:26I saw this.
01:04:27That's what we're called here.
01:04:28We've got to knock it out.
01:04:29And it's the right way, sir!
01:04:30No, no, no, no!
01:04:31But it's over here.
01:04:32No, no, no.
01:04:33And we're in the front, too!
01:04:34I'm going to go.
01:04:35No, no.
01:04:36We're in.
01:04:37And there.
01:04:38Oh, no.
01:04:39It's coming, please.
01:04:42Oh, my God.
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:42How many made it?
01:05:47Twelve.
01:05:54Colin, CP. Colin, CP.
01:05:58McBride reporting.
01:06:00We're undercover about 50 yards from the radio station.
01:06:03I have 12 men left in my command.
01:06:05Waiting now for Lieutenant Browning to appear on the left flank.
01:06:08We're under heavy fire and the station seems to be held in force.
01:06:15McBride.
01:06:16Calling McBride.
01:06:20Come in, McBride.
01:06:28Where's transport?
01:06:29He's back checking on the hospital marking job, sir.
01:06:32Listen in on this.
01:06:33Yes, sir.
01:06:37Saturday afternoon, isn't it?
01:06:38If we were back home, we'd be getting time and a half for this.
01:06:41At $1.60.
01:06:42How much does that make?
01:06:44I haven't seen figures like that since I got my serial number.
01:06:47Well, what do we spend it on if we had it?
01:06:49I know what I'd spend it on if I was home.
01:06:52First, I'd call Bubbles.
01:06:54Oh, what up, Dave.
01:06:56Oh, well, forget it.
01:06:58I wonder what we're going to have for chow tonight.
01:07:00It's a century-day fried chicken.
01:07:02Hey, Joe, what do you say we go on a strike?
01:07:04Do that, you knuckleheads!
01:07:06Meanwhile, get this job done before them little sons of the rising sun
01:07:10catch you with your tails in the breeze.
01:07:12Okay, you big bureaucrat, you.

01:18:36Colonel Thorwald, sir.
01:18:37Ship calling.
01:18:38Paul speaking.
01:18:39Colonel, radio intelligence indicates Jap task force 165 magnetic.
01:18:43Speed 16 knots.
01:18:45Answered.
01:18:46I understand.
01:18:47Very well.
01:18:48We'll step up operations.
01:18:49Roger.
01:18:50Chris.
01:18:51Intelligence reports a strong Japanese task force headed this way.
01:18:55Oh, how long before they get here?
01:18:56Sometime tonight.
01:18:57We must complete all operations and be back on the subs before they arrive.
01:19:02I want you to take the demolition squad and destroy any installations left on the island, leaving nothing which would be of use to the enemy.
01:19:09Aye, sir.
01:19:10Double colon.
01:19:11Yes, sir.
01:19:12Browning.
01:19:13I want you to take your men around the lagoon and get out of the pool.
01:19:14And get out of the pool.
01:19:17Sir.
01:19:31I want you to take the men around the lagoon and get ready for us to embark as soon as possible.
01:19:34Aye, aye, sir.
01:19:35Alright, boys.
01:19:36All those who were able to travel will shove off.
01:19:47Alright, Brown.
01:19:48Take your men put enough under those oil tanks to blow up the whole field.
01:19:50The whole field.
01:19:51Ok, sir.
01:19:56Gun on.
01:19:58Yes, sir.
01:19:59Have you seen transport?
01:20:00Yes, sir.
01:20:02You won't be going back with us, sir.
01:20:12Colonel Thorwald, sir.
01:20:15Colonel Thorwald.
01:20:20Captain Dunphy's calling.
01:20:24Yes, Captain Dunphy.
01:20:25Where are your men, Colonel?
01:20:27Have they left the beach?
01:20:29Latest intelligence reveals enemy destroyers approaching full speed.
01:20:34Will arrive sooner than anticipated.
01:20:37Can you hurry it up, Colonel?
01:20:39We are proceeding as rapidly as possible, Captain.
01:20:41Most of the force is on the way.
01:20:43The rest of us are preparing to leave now.
01:20:47Attention all NCOs!
01:20:49Boys decided that we evacuate the wounded at once.
01:20:52Let's go!
01:20:55The tender care given our wounded by the natives
01:20:57is born of sympathy and kindness,
01:20:59and a share in a common cause.
01:21:02But behind us,
01:21:0330 of the 2nd Raider Battalion have died for an ideal.
01:21:07We must live it.
01:21:09All right, Kurt, let's go.
01:21:15All right, Kurt, let's go.
01:21:33Everything taken care of, sir.
01:21:34The militia men have placed all charges.
01:21:36Corporal Tolan's squad will set them off as soon as we leave the island.
01:21:39Good.
01:21:40All right, boys, you've got to shove off at once.
01:21:41Move out.
01:21:49Hello, Frankie.
01:21:51How you coming?
01:21:52Okay, sir.
01:21:54Had me worried for a while.
01:21:56Anything I can do for you?
01:21:57Yeah.
01:21:59Tell me.
01:22:01When do we go to Tokyo?
01:22:05That's a military secret.
01:22:07Come on, let's get them aboard.
01:22:08Take it easy, young man.
01:22:30You, sir.
01:22:31Come on, let's go.
01:22:32Let's go.
01:22:33You're so great.
01:22:35I'll be finished.
01:22:36Let's go.
01:22:37Let's go.
01:22:38Put in the car.
01:22:39Get out of here.
01:22:41It's all the way.
01:22:42Let's go.
01:22:43Go, come on.
01:22:44Give it to me.
01:22:45Come on, come on.
01:22:46Let's go.
01:22:47Let's go.
01:22:49Get out of here.
01:22:50Come on, let's go.
01:22:51Go, come on.
01:22:52Come on.
01:22:53Come go, come on.
01:22:54Come on, come on.
01:22:55There.
01:22:56Well, come on, which one, as well.
01:22:57Net force assist landing party with stretcher cases.
01:23:27Stand by to get underway. Stand by to get underway.
01:23:49All right, men. Hit the deck.
01:24:19Men?
01:24:23It may seem too soon to talk of the Macon Island Raiders finished,
01:24:29when we're seven days from home and Jap war ships are closing in on us,
01:24:32but I'll take that chance.
01:24:34Raiders, you have shown the way.
01:24:39Whatever anyone may do in the days ahead,
01:24:41this was the first offensive action to be carried out.
01:24:44Our victory, however, has not been without the loss of men
01:24:47who were like brothers to us.
01:24:50But what of the future for those of us who remain?
01:24:54Our course is clear.
01:24:56It is for us at this moment,
01:24:58with the memory of the sacrifice of our brothers still fresh,
01:25:01to dedicate again our hearts, our minds, and our bodies
01:25:04to the great task that lies ahead.
01:25:07We must go further and dedicate ourselves also
01:25:10to the monumental task of assuring that the peace
01:25:13which follows this Holocaust
01:25:15will be a just, equitable, and conclusive peace.
01:25:19And beyond that, lies the mission of making certain
01:25:22that the social order which we bequeath
01:25:24to our sons and daughters is truly based on freedom
01:25:28for which these men died.
01:25:30and with the love of the peopleοΏ½ΕΎe
