P. 51









MAJ. GEN. SORKIN: Why is it intelligence is so damn 

stupid sometimes?



An M.P. laughs. Gen. Sorkin stops him with a look.



MAJ. GEN. SORKIN: They're cutting us off, Bif. They're 

gonna slash us like old hogs. After all we've done. The 

Marines are going too -- right into the Navy.



GEN.YEAGER: Those are just rumors, General. There's 

no evidence of that.



MAJ. GEN. SORKIN: Bullshit. I am not going to be a 


 
traitor to my country.I am not going to allow the 

destruction of our armed forces to save a dollar or any 

amount, ever. We fought too hard, endured too long to be 


pissed on like this. Do you agree?


GEN.YEAGER: Are you sure your rebellion has no 


relation to the Treasury Department's discovery of 

millions -- I should say billions -- in kickbacks from 

contractors to officers in this base?



MAJ. GEN. SORKIN: You supercilious bastard!



Gen. Sorkin stands up, threatening, extinguishes his cigar 

into splinters with eyes set on Yeager, as if Yeager might 


share the same fate.


Bif Yeager holds firm, flushing, even as Lt. Wharton steps 


forward towards him, holding a baton.


MAJ. GEN. SORKIN: You think I don't know what you're 


up to? Well, you're too late, as usual -- you're ALL too late. 

At this very moment our prosecuting lawyer is on his way 

to Washington to present charges of gross negligence 


against traitorous Commander-In Chief, the current 

holder of the office of the President.
