there.
1529
02:04:35,685 --> 02:04:37,960
- Admiral?
- The navy's planes are small.
1530
02:04:38,045 --> 02:04:39,797
They carry light loads
and have a short range.
1531
02:04:39,885 --> 02:04:42,524
We'd have to get them within
a few hundred miles of Japan...
1532
02:04:42,605 --> 02:04:45,517
and therefore risk our carriers,
and if we lose our carriers...
1533
02:04:45,605 --> 02:04:47,675
we'll have no shield
against invasion.
1534
02:04:47,765 --> 02:04:49,357
Does anyone in this room...
1535
02:04:49,445 --> 02:04:52,198
think that victory is possible
without facing danger?
1536
02:04:52,285 --> 02:04:55,197
We are at war.
Of course there's a risk.
1537
02:04:55,285 --> 02:04:57,355
But consider the risk,
Mr President.
1538
02:04:57,445 --> 02:04:59,879
If the Japanese
invade us right now...
1539
02:04:59,965 --> 02:05:03,002
they would penetrate as far
as Chicago before we could stop them.
1540
02:05:05,405 --> 02:05:06,758
Gentlemen...
1541
02:05:09,045 --> 02:05:12,276
most of you did not know me
when I had the use of my legs.
1542
02:05:13,845 --> 02:05:17,121
I was strong and proud
and arrogant.
1543
02:05:18,085 --> 02:05:20,758
Now I wonder
every hour of my life...
1544
02:05:20,845 --> 02:05:23,313
why God put me
into this chair.
1545
02:05:24,445 --> 02:05:27,835
But when I see defeat
in the eyes of my countrymen...
1546
02:05:27,925 --> 02:05:33,124
in your eyes right now, I start to think
that maybe he brought me down...
1547
02:05:33,205 --> 02:05:37,084
for times like these when we all need
to be reminded who we truly are...
1548
02:05:37,165 --> 02:05:39,918
that we will not give up
or give in.
1549
02:05:40,005 --> 02:05:41,597
Mr President,
with all respect, sir.
1550
02:05:41,685 --> 02:05:43,516
What you're asking can't be done.
1551
02:05:58,405 --> 02:06:02,478
- Mr President...
- Mr President!
- Get back, George. Get back.
1552
02:06:14,525 --> 02:06:16,720
Do not tell me...
1553
02:06:16,805 --> 02:06:18,716
it can't be done.
1554
02:06:23,845 --> 02:06:27,520
