Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Colonel Dax:
How many casualties do you expect, sir?
General Mireau:
Say 5 percent killed by our own barrage, 10 percent more getting through No Man's Land, and 20 percent more getting through the wire. Say another 25 percent in actually taking the Ant Hill and we're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it.

What sort ofcasualties do you anticipate sir
00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:06.505
Say five percent killed by our own barrage
00:00:06.589 --> 00:00:08.507
That's a very generous allowance
00:00:08.591 --> 00:00:10.926
Ten percent more in getting through no man's land
00:00:11.998 --> 00:00:13.022
and 20 more getting through the wire
00:00:13.304 --> 00:00:17.014
That leaves 65 with the worst part ofthejob over
00:00:17.225 --> 00:00:21.228
Let's say another 25 in actually taking the Anthill
00:00:21.312 --> 00:00:24.398
We're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it
