that cannot be forgotten or erased.

You might think

that there will be a day

when America

will leave Nicaragua alone.

But I am here to tell you flat out

that that day will never happen.

Because it is our destiny to be here.

It is our destiny

to control you people.

No matter now much you fight,

or what you think, we'll be back.

Time and again.

By the bones of our American dead

in Rivas and Granada,

I swear

that we will never abandon Nicaragua.

Let it occupy your every waking

and sleeping thought.

From the future,

if not the present,

we may expect just judgment.

What about the prisoners?

- Shoot them. - You heard him!

Shoot the prisoners!

I have been instructed

the U.S. State Department

to return all American citizens

to their homeland.

I'm an American.

Yes, sorry only U.S. citizens.

Get your f***ing hands off of me.

Shoot him.

What is your nationality? - William

Walker. President of Nicaragua.

I'm sorry, sir.

Colonel!

To anyone thinking about Vietnam:

There is no thought of sending

American troops to Central America.

Maneuvers are being conducted 10 miles

from Honduras's border with Nicaragua.

Nicaragua considers it

an act of agression.

The US says it is purely defensive.

We're helping Honduras defend itself.

It doesn't envisage any

involvement of US ground forces.

The exercises are being done

for the sake of peace

and self-defense.

The political aspect of their presence

was not lost on some of the troops.

We showed it to Nicaragua.

Yeah, we're sending them a message.
