...in the proper way to wear
their uniforms. Extra drill, if necessary.
Yes, sir.
Eyes front, that man.
- I said, eyes front!
- That means you, Marshal Murat.
Well, it's going to take even less time
to get rid of you than I suspected.
- Take him before Colonel Sheridan.
- Yes, sir. Right face!
Forward march!
Mr. Custer...
...you are charged
with a very grave offense.
Didn't you know striking a superior...
...is one of the most serious
of military offenses...
...punishable in some cases with death?
Why did you strike Mr. Sharp?
I'm afraid I can't say.
It was a personal matter.
There are no personal matters
on the parade ground.
Have you anything further to say?
No, sir.
Then I have no alternative
but to dismiss you from the academy.
Dismiss?
I didn't know you could get fired
from the Army for fighting.
Well, you know it now.
- What is your listing, Mr. Custer?
- Listing?
Yes, listing. It's on the form.
- The form you signed in the office.
- What form?
I didn't sign any form. I haven't been
to the adjutant's office.
Do you mean that you haven't
subscribed to the articles of war?
No, sir.
In that case, we certainly can't
fire you from the Army.
You're not in the Army. You've been
lucky. Let this be a lesson to you.
- Take him over to the adjutant.
- Yes, sir.
- I'd like to thank...
- About face!
- I'd just like to...
- Forward march!
Thanks anyway, sir.
You know, Taipe, I'm glad
it turned out this way.
- There's something about that fellow.
- Yeah?
Well, I don't know what it is.
You ask me, he'll make the worst record
of any cadet...
...since Ulysses S. Grant.
At full charge, a 12-pound shell will
burst into approximately 50 fragments.
- Mr. Custer!
- Yes, sir.
You know how many fragments
will a 12-pound shell burst?
Certainly not less than two, sir.
Harold McCord.
Ronald McKenzie.
Francis Dupont.
- Congratulations, Mr. Dupont.
- Thank you, sir.
Edward Sharp.
- Good luck.
- Thank you, sir.
I never thought I'd envy that toad,
graduating ahead of me.
- I'd like to be in his boots today.
- Why?
Why?
Because if Lincoln gets elected there's
gonna be a war. Sharp will be in it.
Bunkum. It's all talk, Custer.
There'll be no war.
No? Well, you wait and see, Rosser.
I tell you, if Lincoln gets elected,
the South will fight.
Battalion...
...ten-hut!
You are to hear an order by a civilian
member of the national government.
Senator Smith.
Gentlemen, because of a present crisis
in the affairs of the nation...
...which menaces armed rebellion...
...and destruction of the union
established by our fathers...
...it has been decreed by Congress
