Twelve thousand Japanese defenders in eight square miles. They will not leave politely, gentlemen. It's up to us to convince them. The 28th will land here at Green Beach. The 8th Ammo Company will land here to resupply. The Suribachi's guns are the problem. They can hit any point on the island. We're sitting ducks until we take them out. That's our job.
