alpha company has reached hill 943. [ gunshots ] coming this way. up! after sweeping the area around 943, hill 943 is taken. there is nothing to take. and now that the enemy is gone, there is no reason for the americans to stay. when we abandoned the hill, it was crushing to morale because your friends died. what was all that about? there is a hill in vietnam, which was assaulted twice, taken twice, and abandoned twice by americans. and today, 943 is again controlled by the north vietnamese. progress was not being made. there was no end in sight. how would you measure progress? so it was a kind of absurd situation.

starved beggars. it s not a certainty, but it s a danger we need to look at is that they can keep that up almost indefinitely. today i can tell you that military progress in the past 12 months has exceeded our expectations. our policy remains what it was, and has been. we would supply our commanders whatever they required to accomplish our objective in south vietnam. you started to distrust your own leaders because you started to say well, they are lying to us. i mean, or if they re not lying to us, they don t know what s going on over there. if they don t know what is going on, what the hell is going on? [ gunshots ] i m glad they are on our side. move out, move out! alpha company has reached hill 943.
