00:00Scenario 1, or Pericles 1, to use its codename, sir, is...
00:03What is the virtue of a proportional response?
00:07I'm sorry?
00:08What is the virtue of a proportional response? Why is it good?
00:14They hit an airplane, so we hit a transmitter, right? That's a proportional response.
00:20Sir, in the case of Pericles 1, then...
00:22They hit a barracks, we hit two transmitters.
00:25That's roughly it, yes, sir.
00:26This is what we do. I mean, this is what we do.
00:28Yes, sir, it's what we do. It's what we've always done.
00:32Well, if it's what we do, if it's what we've always done, don't they know we're going to do it?
00:35Sir, if you turn your attention to Pericles 1...
00:38I have turned my attention to Pericles 1.
00:40It's two ammo dumps, an abandoned railroad bridge, and a Syrian intelligence agency.
00:45Those are four highly rated targets, sir.
00:47But they know we're going to do that. They know we're going to do that.
00:50Those areas have been abandoned for three days now.
00:52We know that from the satellite, right? We have the intelligence.
00:55Sir...
00:55They did that, so we did this. It's the cost of doing business.
00:58It's been factored in, right?
00:59Mr. President...
01:00Am I right, or am I missing something here?
01:03No, sir. You're right, sir.
01:05Then I ask again, what is the virtue of a proportional response?
01:10It isn't virtuous, Mr. President. It's all there is, sir.
01:13It is not all there is.
01:15Sir, Admiral Fitzgerald...
01:16Excuse me, Leo. Pardon me, Mr. President. Just what else is there?
01:20The disproportional response.
01:22Let the word ring forth from this time and this place, gentlemen.
01:26You kill an American, any American, we don't come back with a proportional response.
01:30We come back with total disaster.
01:32Let's go back with me, dude.
01:32You had no question.
01:32I'll see you guys next time, then.
01:32Have a good day, about everyday life.
01:32Have a bad day, Instagram, and Facebook.
