Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. : As best I can figure it, we're on the wrong beach. The control boat must have been confused by the smoke from the naval bombardment. They landed us about a mile and a quarter south of where we were supposed to land. We should be up there.
Col. Caffey : I agree with you, but what are we gonna do now? Our reinforcements and heavy equipment will be approaching in a very few minutes. What happens if they land at the right beach?
Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. : The reinforcements will have to follow us wherever we are. We're starting the war from right here. Head inland. We're going inland.
