Quotes 

• [On the radio] 

  Colonel Tim Brown : Colonel, what's the situation down there?

  [Colonel Moore spins around and shoots a North Vietnamese soldier that was just about to bayonet him] 

  Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : It's getting pretty sporty down here, sir!

• Colonel Tim Brown : Last night, the enemy hit our Special Forces camp here at Plei Me.

  Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : How many casualties did we sustain?

  Colonel Tim Brown : None. The enemy forces withdrew here towards this mountain, Chu Pong, that sits right on the Cambodian border. How many men do you have battle ready at your disposal give or take?

  Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : [to Plumley]  Sergeant Major?

  Sergeant Major Basil Plumley : 395 sir... exactly.

  Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : [to Colonel Brown]  What do you estimate the enemy strength is?

  Sergeant : We appraise their numbers as manageable.

  Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : [grim tone]  You mean... you have no idea?

  Colonel Tim Brown : No, sir. We have no idea. But we have our orders. Simple orders from High Command: find the enemy and kill him. Nothing more.
