Quotes:
Dr. O'Carberry:
[quote] The whole truth of the matter is that you let this become a test of wills between you and the Cheyenne. You have made it your own personal fight!
Capt. Oskar Wessels: You are a liar! You lie! Nothing I have done is personal. I am a soldier. I was a soldier in Prussia and I am a soldier here! All my life I have given and taken orders! What would this world be without orders? Anarchy! Chaos! I will not let that start here. And you... You... I will not let you spread these lies!

Long before "Dances With Wolves", John Ford dramatized the plight of the Indian much more realistically and in a period when it was not PC to do so. In a class with Ulzana's Raid, this movie is a must. Still waiting for it to come out in DVD.
