In this, the first of his 58 documentary films, John Pilger combines candid interviews and amazing frontline footage of Vietnam to portray a growing rift between the US military bureaucrats - 'lifers' - and the soldiers who physically and mentally fight the war on the ground, the 'grunts'. By 1970, it is an internal sense of disillusionment and frustration born from this rift that is triggering the withdrawal of US forces from Vietnam.
As the US employs psychological warfare against its enemy, Pilger finds himself unable to glean significant information from the military; a press conference he attends is nicknamed 'the 5 o'clock follies' for the evasive nature of the proceedings. And so it is with the grunts, the 'wheels of the green machine', that Pilger finds a very human side to the US presence in Vietnam: soldiers who are at once ready to serve their country and doubtful of their purpose there. Plied with visits from Miss America and ignored by Vice President Spiro Agnew, they experience the war in a way many of their superiors do not.
Filmed at Camp Snuffy in 1970, THE QUIET MUTINY presents a character study of the common soldier during the Vietnam War, revealing for the first time the shifting morale and open rebellion of Western troops.

Morning
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:24.269
Vietnam liken
00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:32.270
me the dime Buster sighs waiting for
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:42.620
three hours Tonight a Personal
Report by the Daily Mirror as
00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:49.969
special correspondent Jon Pilcher
Vietnam 1970 their front
00:00:49.970 --> 00:00:57.970
line I hadn\'t been
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:02.239
to Vietnam for three years
the war after all is
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.749
a bore so why go back
what is the left to say.
00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:08.989
Surely we\'ve seen at all until early But I
00:01:08.990 --> 00:01:12.724
bought him has not made the war go away
so I\'ve come back for the final act.
00:01:12.725 --> 00:01:14.598
No blood no atrocities.
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.704
Just the rejection of the war
by those sent here to fight it
00:01:17.705 --> 00:01:22.140
just the quiet mutiny of the
greatest army in history
00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:30.139
this is NumPy sum eight miles from the
Cambodian border in a wilderness of jungle
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:34.969
and control by the North Vietnamese
and the Viet Cong snappy
00:01:34.970 --> 00:01:36.919
as a beleaguered fought defended by
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.129
the first air Cavalry Division the scene
00:01:40.130 --> 00:01:43.429
there looks so familiar like a
faded snapshot of another war we
00:01:43.430 --> 00:01:48.514
wish to forget half a century ago with its
trenches and modern barbed wire and boredom
00:01:48.515 --> 00:01:51.259
and young men and their puppies Stuff
00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:54.199
is important because it\'s the
end of the line for the grants.
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.269
They are the 18-year-old drafted kids
00:01:56.270 --> 00:01:59.569
the National Service man on
whom the entire army depends.
00:01:59.570 --> 00:02:04.143
They are the ones whom the batch was finally
passed from the president and the pentagon.
00:02:04.144 --> 00:02:08.164
And the career man who catch colds in
their air conditioned command posts.
00:02:08.165 --> 00:02:10.669
Out of 400 thousand American soldiers in
00:02:10.670 --> 00:02:14.559
Vietnam and the 80 thousand fight
and almost all of them and
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:22.560
grants The grandson 1970 are a very
different kind of Americans such soldier.
00:02:24.575 --> 00:02:27.829
They are mostly from a world
unknown to their commanders.
00:02:27.830 --> 00:02:29.869
They\'re graduates of an American rebellion
00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:31.909
that stemmed from the war
they had been sent here to
00:02:31.910 --> 00:02:38.479
fight and quietly but massively they\'re brought
that rebellion with them here to Vietnam.
00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:42.244
For the grants are unraveling the
very fabric of the military.
00:02:42.245 --> 00:02:44.749
They\'re growing their
hair wearing love beads
00:02:44.750 --> 00:02:48.004
smoking part flourishing
the V sign is peace
00:02:48.005 --> 00:02:50.359
and some are refusing to fight
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.469
the young man you see in this film
and not a selected griping minority.
00:02:54.470 --> 00:02:57.889
I\'ve spoken to hundreds of young
soldiers and the rebellion they feel so
00:02:57.890 --> 00:03:01.939
deeply everywhere Spread
of communism at all see
00:03:01.940 --> 00:03:05.269
communists as well all over the
world like Latin I can do about
00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:09.709
them just stay and do my tire which
only do get get out of Vietnam.
00:03:09.710 --> 00:03:13.204
Go back to the world I
continue purpose nor back home
00:03:13.205 --> 00:03:17.314
and no never explained to me
why we\'re actually here and I
00:03:17.315 --> 00:03:19.339
know I don\'t know anything
against these people I want
00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:21.319
to kill him and he got
in the words and I\'ll
00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:23.299
shoot you first you\'ll
see him yellow sheets or
00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:25.714
they get the chance you have
to shoot at them first.
00:03:25.715 --> 00:03:31.999
So we ban. I still know I\'m here
as gas 23 months and animal I\'m
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.249
Sudanese people today is
00:03:34.250 --> 00:03:38.974
the day the grants are the wheels of the
Green Machine a name they give the military.
00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:42.034
The Green Machine is coming
from America with flesh on it
00:03:42.035 --> 00:03:46.789
Today is the day for use electrical
lambda lambda of heroes and slogans
00:03:46.790 --> 00:03:50.029
and the Green Machine that grump
doesn\'t seek out the enemy he goes
00:03:50.030 --> 00:03:53.419
hunting for goods the Green
Machine plays games like
00:03:53.420 --> 00:03:57.079
wondering so Wandering
Soul is taken it but he
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.024
put out by the psychological
operations battalion and then walk.
00:04:01.025 --> 00:04:04.729
As used by the operating
divisions and separate brigades
00:04:04.730 --> 00:04:10.849
broadcast a rally appeal to the
Viacom the tape itself is rather
00:04:10.850 --> 00:04:14.659
weird one with a funeral dirge
music in the background
00:04:14.660 --> 00:04:18.649
and a father talking to his children
saying he\'s died on the battlefield and
00:04:18.650 --> 00:04:21.889
he\'s trying to encourage his
comrades to rally and joint
00:04:21.890 --> 00:04:27.649
the just cause The Vietnamese
people worship the soles of
00:04:27.650 --> 00:04:32.539
their ancestors but this Wandering Soul
is very different it was conceived in
00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:35.749
an echo chamber by the US
Army and is broadcast from
00:04:35.750 --> 00:04:40.020
a helicopter over jungle where the
goods are supposed to be hiding
00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:04.210
Well
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:16.990
we\'d like.
00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:30.049
I\'d say about 800 thousand
liters a day We tell them what\'s
00:05:30.050 --> 00:05:33.199
happened to them in their battles
we killed three of your people
00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:35.764
yesterday and they know it we tell him
00:05:35.765 --> 00:05:39.559
also that you are going to be killed
this into the future you can be
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.099
killed and why why we asked them what
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.559
desert their unit and what will
happen to them once they rally how
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.529
there\'ll be well-treated well
actually it\'s been pretty
00:05:48.530 --> 00:05:51.859
slow so far this month we\'ve
had Frive Last month I only
00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:55.279
had one The object of
dispersing are leaflets by
00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:59.074
helicopters they\'ll take a pledge by hand
and throw them out most of the time.
00:05:59.075 --> 00:06:03.109
Occasionally. Trying to get a
direct result of a science mission
00:06:03.110 --> 00:06:07.399
del take a whole carton which you\'ll
see just drop it right out hoping to
00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:15.400
hit someone You\'ve got
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.849
pride and you\'re really proud of what you\'re
doing it in and proud of saying what you
00:06:19.850 --> 00:06:24.544
have done in the past and this division
has lived on a proud heritage.
00:06:24.545 --> 00:06:28.669
A further set of well
this division is first in
00:06:28.670 --> 00:06:32.944
almost everything General George
Custer dough was in the cavalry
00:06:32.945 --> 00:06:37.009
and now instead of rattling
sabers we have hreflang
00:06:37.010 --> 00:06:39.439
rotor blades lifers and grants the
00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:42.499
Korean men who command the rear
the kids who all the front.
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.379
Life as a person that wants
to make a career out
00:06:45.380 --> 00:06:49.279
the army nested back in air
conditioned rooms and say okay
00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:53.389
you you guys go out in front the war
will say where to go and how to do
00:06:53.390 --> 00:06:55.269
it And all they do is sit
00:06:55.270 --> 00:06:58.189
Vechten Jada combat things not
doing nothing we just don\'t know.
00:06:58.190 --> 00:07:01.779
But I live for is someone
to me that stays in
00:07:01.780 --> 00:07:05.390
your Army 20 or 30 years
00:07:12.630 --> 00:07:15.364
20-30 years.
00:07:15.365 --> 00:07:19.809
Does this job that when you give
any company army in your grant
00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:24.114
like as well where does
dominant loonies pumping.
00:07:24.115 --> 00:07:26.889
With the big pack and all fighting.
00:07:26.890 --> 00:07:30.669
Dividing via Coulomb and the NBA as good as
00:07:30.670 --> 00:07:34.779
the father of the grunts and alive is the
grunts There are some lifers out there
00:07:34.780 --> 00:07:37.699
with us It\'s a call to action on
00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:41.299
variative live result always always in
00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:43.029
the rear genre and everything else
00:07:43.030 --> 00:07:46.054
that field of grants out there
trying to do to basically came.
00:07:46.055 --> 00:07:49.984
Like a lifers is a say like
00:07:49.985 --> 00:07:54.529
back here and like they say go to this hill
and this hill they don\'t look at the terrain
00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:58.099
and everything and how that today\'s narrative
and then grow from the grass to when it
00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:02.790
has to go throughout our
land grant has to fight it
00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:09.094
out on patrol 28 days out in the Boone is
00:08:09.095 --> 00:08:12.484
Green Machine jargon for that
book where the Indians are
00:08:12.485 --> 00:08:16.099
days of boredom seconds of terror
a mile a day waiting to be
00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:20.610
shut out waiting to step
on a mine Boring waiting
00:08:36.310 --> 00:08:41.344
on this patrol we hear a chicken than the
captain says it maybe if you had Kang chicken.
00:08:41.345 --> 00:08:43.954
No life and he\'s helicopter
can kill a chicken.
00:08:43.955 --> 00:08:47.344
How many the grantees can
kill a chicken and its owner.
00:08:47.345 --> 00:08:51.229
On this petroleum medic says
to me hey man why doesn\'t
00:08:51.230 --> 00:08:54.679
TV show how boring this war is
I\'m army sergeant Roger play
00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:56.880
ice worth Have a good day
00:09:02.140 --> 00:09:05.609
The differences between a-laughin
and ground is the library
00:09:05.610 --> 00:09:08.569
supposed to know the why
of it and the grant.
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:11.419
Thanks there is no y of
it the heat is W here and
00:09:11.420 --> 00:09:14.419
as we all count it in days and
we can almost everyone of these.
00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:16.969
Tell ME days we have left to do in Vietnam.
00:09:16.970 --> 00:09:19.744
When you\'re out on a long-range
patrol this new kind of
00:09:19.745 --> 00:09:24.679
grown to give orders or do you
sort of enter into discussions.
00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:29.659
It\'s combination of oh it\'s not near
as new orders as I thought it would be
00:09:29.660 --> 00:09:32.569
the there\'s an old saying in
00:09:32.570 --> 00:09:36.949
the United States Army that you had you
don\'t tell american soldiery telling why.
00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:40.839
Adding labor as much telecenter
Vietnam and I\'ve had several times
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.349
when Tom I think we\'re being
insubordinate they wanted to
00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:48.469
know why are my NGOs are there means
warning because they wanted to know
00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:54.079
why and maybe because of the
emotions at the time I had to say.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.009
You\'ll do a damage caused by the
two over again I would go to
00:09:58.010 --> 00:10:01.849
jail for one thing in California
Max usually that you\'re
00:10:01.850 --> 00:10:07.519
gonna get us three years three years
in a gel compared to two years or
00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:09.829
three years and I don\'t really think
00:10:09.830 --> 00:10:14.029
that there is going to be another
generation of American soldier.
00:10:14.030 --> 00:10:18.649
I think that people are just tired
of it there will be people in
00:10:18.650 --> 00:10:24.120
the army but But the people that really
felt strongly about it while going to land
00:10:36.430 --> 00:10:41.989
out of the sky drops Miss America had
friends just for the grunts flown under
00:10:41.990 --> 00:10:49.140
the ice cream packaged homogenized
untouchable white flesh fodder for dreams of
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:06.019
Here is an attribute has the month with
00:11:06.020 --> 00:11:10.499
David you repay here appeared
netting and play made.
00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:18.500
Later in my generation we went to counter
graphic is paved numerical designed for
00:11:20.270 --> 00:11:23.734
mental infiltrate the brightness of man
00:11:23.735 --> 00:11:28.219
and they utilize numerically from
them yesterday and forever doing
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:32.629
some likewise pick another one here let\'s get
down to that business we\'ve been talking
00:11:32.630 --> 00:11:38.310
about then we notice that
we bring you our fan
00:12:08.650 --> 00:12:13.440
Tell them what the child process works
00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:47.940
Separate the different
actors to have there is
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:58.360
a change a Dianeli\'s
00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.200
video
00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:24.639
The grunts
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:29.889
or die at a level acceptable to both the
American military and the American public.
00:13:29.890 --> 00:13:35.994
Another 65 this week about the same
next week and the next and the next.
00:13:35.995 --> 00:13:39.744
Until the very last American
division combat division
00:13:39.745 --> 00:13:44.169
is withdrawn and so far for all the words
from Washington and the paper soldiers have
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:47.829
gone home the war isn\'t
over but it is it is
00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:52.129
ending not because of the Paris talks
or the demonstrations at home It
00:13:52.130 --> 00:13:56.464
is ending because the largest and wealthiest
and most powerful organisation on
00:13:56.465 --> 00:14:01.819
the American army is being challenged from
within from the very sellers of its pyramid.
00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:05.869
From the most forgotten the most
brutalized and suddenly the bravest of
00:14:05.870 --> 00:14:11.464
its members the wars ending because
the grant is taking no more bullshit.
00:14:11.465 --> 00:14:16.034
I just don\'t like I just can\'t take
too much pressure for nonlinear.
00:14:16.035 --> 00:14:21.904
What happens to an unpopular offset
Nuffield mostly are popular oxidant.
00:14:21.905 --> 00:14:24.859
For what I heard is if
they\'ve they must would\'ve
00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:28.594
got too much they get Shadow friend of mine
00:14:28.595 --> 00:14:31.669
Catherine and I got Jack and
00:14:31.670 --> 00:14:38.204
back What was he doing what was a
captain going to deserving shot.
00:14:38.205 --> 00:14:42.229
What my friend said he
was just gone through
00:14:42.230 --> 00:14:46.459
and while there again there again
hit pretty bad in a restaurant
00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:51.259
just came long gone it\'s again kind of
00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:59.239
gotcha yeah there\'s a lot
of mistakes but the grants.
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.199
Don\'t always do but get them says you know.
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.909
We got the capm stay back

00:15:07.910 --> 00:15:11.809
something go out so many a 100
meters you know you don\'t
00:15:11.810 --> 00:15:15.079
do it we only go as far as
we get out of sight sit
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.769
down We don\'t want to hit gun
deck that\'s one thing we
00:15:18.770 --> 00:15:19.590
don\'t want to get
00:15:19.591 --> 00:15:21.110
the
00:15:29.430 --> 00:15:31.279
Vice President
00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:35.119
of the United States must aspire
ot Agnew arrives in Vietnam.
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.869
He visits the presidential
palace in Saigon it gives the
00:15:38.870 --> 00:15:43.664
President of South Vietnam a gift wrap
filing cabinet a Tokenof he\'s a steam.
00:15:43.665 --> 00:15:51.665
Are you in need about brand Who
tells you things important things.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.539
Someone who offers you a wide degree of
00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:04.789
interests sports good books
interesting stories girls.
00:16:04.790 --> 00:16:08.179
Well the stars and stripes
could be considered
00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:13.324
differing after lunch we\'ll fly by helicopter
to the heavily fortified American embassy.
00:16:13.325 --> 00:16:17.359
There he will make the American ambassador
and American generals and pass out
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.594
ballpoint pens and costumers
metals tomorrow he leaves Vietnam.
00:16:22.595 --> 00:16:25.669
Having been assured that
all is well you will meet
00:16:25.670 --> 00:16:30.409
no grant a few months ago when I was in the
United States this letter was given to
00:16:30.410 --> 00:16:33.674
me by a woman who lives in Smoltz Ohio
00:16:33.675 --> 00:16:38.674
unless it was written by a sum Kennedy while
you\'re serving in the infantry and Vietnam.
00:16:38.675 --> 00:16:42.349
I\'d like to read it. Hello mom.
00:16:42.350 --> 00:16:47.539
While a shit is really started here I\'ve
been in combat two months now almost since
00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:53.119
the day I got here I\'m so confused about
it all I think some days I\'m going crazy.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.379
These people that cooks
hate me hate a soul.
00:16:56.380 --> 00:16:58.189
So why am I almost dying for
00:16:58.190 --> 00:17:01.969
the older guys who are putting
themselves on the line at grunts like
00:17:01.970 --> 00:17:04.849
me we don\'t think this war is worth dying
00:17:04.850 --> 00:17:09.319
for we don\'t think the lifers
who won\'t fight worth dying.
00:17:09.320 --> 00:17:13.534
We\'ve talked this out and we\'ve decided to
tell a company commander we\'re not working in
00:17:13.535 --> 00:17:18.034
walking into that At least we\'ll
get a jail where it\'s safe.
00:17:18.035 --> 00:17:21.274
The afternoon Kenneth wrote
that letter he was killed
00:17:21.275 --> 00:17:25.279
a telegram is parents receive
setting and died a brave man while
00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:28.819
storming Viet Cong bunker the
metals I received said much
00:17:28.820 --> 00:17:33.094
the same thing and the box there was
saved in which there\'s sunlight.
00:17:33.095 --> 00:17:34.624
Was mapped this y up
00:17:34.625 --> 00:17:39.019
unviewable How many Americans have
been killed and wounded and Vietnam.
00:17:39.020 --> 00:17:44.550
Through the 22nd of
August 43,418 US killed.
00:17:47.350 --> 00:17:50.764
How many U.S. troops are
presently in Vietnam.
00:17:50.765 --> 00:17:54.000
I mean he was troops are
presently in Vietnam
00:18:10.770 --> 00:18:15.744
As I have 20 August 403,700
00:18:15.745 --> 00:18:18.459
of these how many are in ground combat that
00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:21.709
is they are likely to go out
on a long-range patrol.
00:18:21.710 --> 00:18:25.614
Right. We don\'t write them
off that way we say that.
00:18:25.615 --> 00:18:29.429
Approximately 60% of our forces in country.
00:18:29.430 --> 00:18:33.909
Neither combat combat support
unit would have figure of
00:18:33.910 --> 00:18:39.519
80 thousand BE near a figure
of what 80 thousand i
00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:42.339
I don\'t really know off the
top my head I\'d have to take
00:18:42.340 --> 00:18:47.829
that question do you have a proportion
00:18:47.830 --> 00:18:50.859
of this for drafting men and
we have more proportions on
00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:55.749
what gossip breakdown of
draftees or pharmacies.
00:18:55.750 --> 00:18:59.844
They\'re possibly may be
the problem with defense.
00:18:59.845 --> 00:19:03.999
We don\'t have a given country how
many American casualties have been
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.439
caused by mistake in the field
you have a figure for that I\'m
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.549
sorry I understand your question how
many American casual days have been
00:19:12.550 --> 00:19:17.244
caused by mistake or accident
either in the field or on the base.
00:19:17.245 --> 00:19:20.859
You\'re asking me for how many
casualties by mistake or
00:19:20.860 --> 00:19:25.429
accidental deaths And would you I don\'t
have the statistics here I don\'t
00:19:25.430 --> 00:19:29.179
believe would you rephrase the question
because I don\'t quite understand what for
00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:35.374
example when a man is killed by a
friendly rocket that is a mistake.
00:19:35.375 --> 00:19:37.699
How many people have been killed by
00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:41.284
mistake I\'d rather than have
been killed by the enemy.
00:19:41.285 --> 00:19:45.739
So you\'re excluding you\'re
excluding any accidents
00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:49.339
like or aircraft accidents or automobile
accidents and just I know I\'m low
00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:53.119
including all those old accidents
all mistakes I don\'t have
00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:57.289
those statistics there\'s no break
down I\'ll find out for you
00:19:57.290 --> 00:19:59.989
tell me what the possession
right is for servicemen from
00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:03.529
Vietnam are on leave from
Vietnam or on Arnoff
00:20:03.530 --> 00:20:07.909
or Vietnam Remember that
for you with what you
00:20:07.910 --> 00:20:12.379
have just seen is the daily press briefing
for correspondence in Saigon there
00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:15.079
are 444 was here this week although
00:20:15.080 --> 00:20:18.484
very few bother to come to what is
called the five o\'clock follows
00:20:18.485 --> 00:20:22.999
the reason I don\'t come is that they don\'t
learn very much here for five years
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.649
the follys have gone on with much the same
theatrical staying power as a Western fast.
00:20:27.650 --> 00:20:29.554
Every day the same equations
00:20:29.555 --> 00:20:33.814
the same euphemisms the same
jargon for Ordinance read bombs.
00:20:33.815 --> 00:20:36.499
For interdiction raid
blasting away at nothing in
00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:40.669
particular the other week the
Firebase rip coal and had to be
00:20:40.670 --> 00:20:43.909
evacuated it was perhaps one
of the major to faiths of
00:20:43.910 --> 00:20:48.109
recent months because referred
to here As a redeployment of
00:20:48.110 --> 00:20:50.899
trips I\'ve heard it said that the
object of the followers is to
00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:54.079
lull oppress into laziness
and vote and just give
00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:57.049
them the old buddy count and
they\'ll print it and it\'s
00:20:57.050 --> 00:21:00.409
interesting that no major American
newspaper ran the story of the massacre of
00:21:00.410 --> 00:21:05.629
pinkdot until competition forced to
and one TV network is told using
00:21:05.630 --> 00:21:12.120
the same battle film over and over again
perhaps this is why the war such a bowl.
00:21:17.830 --> 00:21:22.039
As part of gap the grunt
appeasement program at
00:21:22.040 --> 00:21:25.249
least that\'s what the grunts might
call it the doughnut dollys arrive
00:21:25.250 --> 00:21:27.829
at Sanofi doughnut dollys a girls of
00:21:27.830 --> 00:21:31.894
the American Red Cross Sent to the front
line to play games with the grumps.
00:21:31.895 --> 00:21:35.479
Good clean novelty games
like Monopoly quizzes and
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:43.480
blind man\'s bluff trees
00:21:44.195 --> 00:21:51.299
here comes the first question cut
the wilderness travel to Kentucky.
00:21:55.360 --> 00:22:00.139
However the novelty could be wearing
off the other day I don\'t not w was
00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:04.774
blown up by a grenade and another
was stabbed to death by grants.
00:22:04.775 --> 00:22:09.679
But he\'s ever going to be 20
what is the name given to
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:16.680
the byproducts of the forest
Turpentine and Sagrada Sandra.
00:22:22.690 --> 00:22:28.324
It\'s pretty obvious that nobody knows your
job like you do the guy who\'s doing it
00:22:28.325 --> 00:22:33.649
maybe you know away it can be done better
with a savings of time money or manpower.
00:22:33.650 --> 00:22:36.289
Don\'t sit on your good ideas spell it out
00:22:36.290 --> 00:22:39.049
in writing and submit it
to your services Augustian
00:22:39.050 --> 00:22:45.049
program I suppose some
00:22:45.050 --> 00:22:49.414
of you watching this film will say it\'s
peddling the anti-American line yet again.
00:22:49.415 --> 00:22:52.459
Well perhaps another kind of
person could make another kind of
00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:55.699
film But I\'ve lived in America
and I\'ve been an amount of
00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:59.089
America\'s war in Vietnam and
I do know that thousands of
00:22:59.090 --> 00:23:01.219
young American soldiers like the grunts of
00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:04.054
Snofsky and fighting an enemy
that isn\'t called Goog.
00:23:04.055 --> 00:23:07.564
It\'s called the US Army
and that takes guts.
00:23:07.565 --> 00:23:10.294
Out on patrol One of my
friends was the medic
00:23:10.295 --> 00:23:13.429
and when I was leaving
he said to me hey man.
00:23:13.430 --> 00:23:16.519
Tell him back in the world were
coming home and when never
00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:19.519
coming back I\'m like
Latins I tried to start
00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:23.719
a much violet out of much violence
I can because violence is
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:29.089
subthalamic violence that let them
play with ya\'ll live your life
00:23:29.090 --> 00:23:32.239
to where you want to live
in your little violation
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.929
did more violent and more livable peace
dividend piece as I live my life
00:23:35.930 --> 00:23:39.859
There\'s a woman traveler to men
they often finance where the sheet
00:23:39.860 --> 00:23:44.464
back and it\'s bad at kill women and
children but over here it\'s necessary.
00:23:44.465 --> 00:23:49.189
Data against violence for two-year
span and go back home back they
00:23:49.190 --> 00:23:55.179
always think about my girls again
telegram two weeks ago and she died.
00:23:55.180 --> 00:24:00.079
Really bad thing repairing
get married and you learned
00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:05.239
a lot of my plans united when I go home I start
all my eyes can have a baby and next map.
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.119
I\'m really looking forward to
going on that ratcheted up
00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:11.884
