25:02 "You see, we don't respect them when they're alive. We don't respect them when we blow them to pieces. But, by God, we respect them when they're dead. And so we don't show them, and you don't see them, and war becomes the bloodless sound bit on television. And governments prefer it that way. Not just because they don't want the people to see, but I don't think they want to see it either. We do not have, in any western government anywhere at the moment, a minister who has ever experienced war."
