this is live from moscow breaking news this hour at least a full people have been killed in a call bomb explosion outside a cafe in russia's republican douglas' down several of those were also injured in the blasts olney outskirts of. just to gauge isn't working at the scene we'll bring you more as we get it. but i'll be back at the top of the hour as the news continues in the meantime you can follow developments on the web site that. dot com . my whole tour of vietnam you dog when you meant a black soldier you know he had it debbie had a special handshake you could even get to the point where you could even till what part of the country he was from because everybody had their distinctive death or

handshake he definitely could tell if he was the new company because everybody knew everybody had their world knew what to do. but i'm glad to see him i don't i don't know and i just checked back. this. week you know we got to come. by. the snappiest ready to swear that first just that high and then the down this way like a sony always do as well if you like a break from don you're around right. there you go that's it better to me the blood oh it's just going to bases big a big big big hit they've been going to jail for the power would it be this really what we did to other things when we believe that even going to jail the dog just put on. a moment jail was a just god he didn't let alone be it was pretty much just like jails in america

playing them said black there was a lot of bouncing in this prison a lot of stuff people would and we both pretty dire situation. a group of the inmates got together and we decided that a. good excuse for this place. but happened was is that the result was alone being. caustic gauzy in that it did break down the jail and he was just made a lot of people get killed. i'm so badly so. i was going to survive no matter what good did you come to the deceased and. you know when you're laying on your back that you can't move for doing in a day out you have a lot of time to think soon and think about what you did you know what you've done and things that you've done to the people that you queue people that have made

i mean there's always something that reminds you. that you can be here and i think that you see then. you actually see what i saw what was going on in the states. due to running down the streets and wearing the same kind of uniform that i got. there in memphis there that they've beaten up on people. who made it we we're over here beating up on people over here and at the same time you guys are wearing the same identical uniforms that i'm going to have and you're beating up on. black people dong the runner near where tanks are on the street. in the summer of one nine

hundred sixty eight army and national guard troops were sent into american cities as thousands of black people rioted following the assassination of martin luther king. that spring troops were used against antiwar demonstrators at the pentagon. then in august soldiers at fort hood were told they would be sent to chicago where antiwar demonstrations were planned for the democratic party's national convention . we've just come back from fighting the vietnamese not i want us to fight the americans. the night before the troops are supposed to leave there was a meeting of blood as they gathered up in a parking lot in the first armored division section and they were out there all night in a parking lot talking to you know. really why they were opposed to going to chicago we're making it clear that it was a gentle south and it was going to go on and how can i go and commit genocide on my people shoot my people and one hundred black jazz and straight feel brothers came

up and really started pointing on the end about you know discrimination and unfair treatment not getting the right needed about what was happening with the war as the meeting stretched into the night fort hood's commanding general showed up to talk to the g.i.'s he said i'm just a two star general let me go and talk to my boss and i have an answer for you in the morning so you know we just relax you know when to sleep. crack said to me i said here. you know you know what they had to go i know m.p.'s all around this man you know what are you going to be taking the m.p.'s you know they came at us with baroness and i got you know hit rate you would have been. and in every every now and then he opened his formation up and grouper in peace come in and grab a brother and take him back and back and beat the shit outta here screaming in the

bed you know. and they were court martialed brought up on various court martial charges but it scared the hell out of the military then they want to round and went to a roster of all the units who were supposed to go and took off who they considered to be quotes of verses. so a number of people myself included. know. one of the most infamous events the nine hundred sixty s. chicago police brutally attacked demonstrators in front of the democratic convention although the army had send a contingent of riot control troops to chicago from fort hood that kept them off the street. is no longer certain which side the g.i.'s. the military had a problem on and it was about to go from bad to worse. we were in. the practice line i believe it was a long line of

a sudden we see this commotion kind of started to being in the line and then start come up towards us and we could see people like one guy would turn to the guy behind them and they there'd be this excited conversation and then that guy would turn to the guy behind him and finally the guy and trying to make up the noose and he turns around and he says to me they're killing women and children in vietnam i said who's killing women and children the vietcong and he said no we are. march sixteenth one nine hundred sixty eight the soldiers of charlie company eleventh brigade america division entered the village of me live twenty four hours later over five hundred villagers men women and children lay dead brutally and want to leave murdered in cold blood around the world to me live massacre would become the touchstone in fact of the vietnam war. for over a year the american military covered up to me live massacre claiming only enemy

soldiers were killed and when the truth was finally brought to light by journalists the highest ranking officer blamed and prosecuted was william calley a lieutenant. in a cramped detroit hotel a new organization vietnam veterans against the war held an unprecedented investigation that exposed a much deeper truth i think the winter soldier investigation was to try to point out it wasn't really in defense of cali but it was going after the notion that the policies of the u.s. military created things like me lie ok but it was a policy it was both a written and an unwritten policy and the truth has to be told you can't duck away from the truth you can't lie and put up a smokescreen and say oh this is a the words they used back then an isolated instance of aberdeen behavior you are just coming home saying i'm against the war you're saying this is what we did this

is how we did it this was a crime this was wrong helped people to really cross the bridge and to see us in a way that i think the anti-war movement had not seen g.i.'s before america went through went through a choke ok because they didn't want to believe that these things occurred in the name of the american people supposedly is supporting freedom and liberation and democracy throughout the world and there was this terrible slaughter this turmoil in ames slaughter so i think the question was. why are they going after cali where callee was doing precisely what we were all told to do when we were in vietnam essentially ok which is kill them all and sort it out later. i had a friend who is he was an advisor with the group and one time he asked me would i like to accompany you into a village that was milieu with see how they act so i went with them and. they didn't find any enemy but they found a woman with bandages so she was questioned. about she was questioned by six when

they questioned her was that she had bandages. they shot or she was about twenty times that she was questioned. of course dead. this guy came over who was knowing him he was a former major in the service is one of yours you got hungry again and came back over working with usa id eight international development and. he went over there and rip the clothes off into the night and. cut from all the way up well just about of your breast in order organs out completely out of or cavity your mouth and then he stopped over and commenced to peel every bit of skin off her body and left her there as a as a scientist something or other and i went and listened to three days of testimony and i absolutely came away from an emotionally drained and floored by i never grasped even up to that point how powerful was the

genocidal plans and strategy of the us towards the vietnamese people on every level . where there was agent orange and dow chemical we can figure it napalm because the napalm was a stick into the skin. and that was you know all of this just added to the overwhelming sense of the criminality of the united states. this was on forces day and in many cities across the country there were the usual parades displays and bands but the recent protest over the role in indochina cast a shadow over today's activities. some military bases where the presence of anti-war demonstrators led to the cancellation.

putting up plywood or windows because the cops told it was going to. but then people change it. because you know we thought making fun of me was. the second year nine hundred seventy one. three. our army. is in a state approaching collapse with individual units of having refused combat murdering their officers and noncommissioned officers. and dispirited.

by the pentagon's own figures during the ten years of the vietnam war five hundred thousand soldiers. in the face of the. war movement military near collapse the nixon administration the policy of vietnamization. to shift the burden of the south vietnamese. north vietnam. promised that american ground troops would no longer be involved in offensive combat. this is richard boyle firebase pace bunch of kilometers from the cambodian border sitting in a bunker but it doesn't run the first chapter a lot of people kind of wonder if anybody back in the world knows that we're on to . like. two batteries or

a tourist posters here and on groceries like nobody we don't even exist. we just need. troops we're not supposed to be in combat that's why the american army did nine hundred that they were there you know that far as america was before this i got there weren't american troops on the border isn't going. to be fighting a democracy. why no are you all right you go back home the north vietnamese were had they had two regiments to crack regiments stoli surrounding the fire base it's plain something in the series we start going out there will be sitting ducks you know that's the thing about order think he's. going to try to hire a hired man they don't have to go on there he just sent us out of the captain crowed in order to six men to go out on a night ambush what was basically a suicide mission because he sent six guys out against two regiments and they said

we're going to do it when going to go and the only option it was was to get word out to the outside world and they wrote a petition at the reading we are under siege and firebase pace we are faced daily with the decision of whether to take a court martial or purchase a peyton offense to grow in the event of mass prosecution of our unit i only hope would be public opinion. nixon was so afraid ordered that company pulled out they sent it. another company they had heard about the refusal of alpha company the other company also refused to fight and after that no company notes troops willing to fight and said look we're not going to fight anymore. there are more problems to winding down the vietnam war than just holding the enemy and moving south vietnamese troops into the line one unforeseen problem is trying to keep up the morale of g.i.'s who know they're going

on but not soon enough it has produced plenty grit insubordination shooting of officers by the wrong men and a deadly practice called fragging the purpose mine was he did to get me or intimidate to myself and all others in authority in the company and battalion sergeant saying that some of his own men tried to maim or kill him but it's not an isolated incident since then one officer has been killed another wounded at this base and there have been dozens of similar incidents all across south vietnam because the fragmentation grenade is often the weapon used the violent attacks on authority have come to be known as fragging and many g.i.'s talk openly about fragging and the military countermeasures seen more than one big group meeting were . actually all they talk about is fragging as we call pigs. by picture talking about your senior enlisted men in your officers that's correct the most common

terms. forced to rely almost solely on the air war of one thousand nine hundred seventy two the united states launched an unprecedented garage on vietnam dropping more tonnage of bombs on that tiny country that were used during world war two and with the assault coming mainly from aircraft carrier sailors and airmen became the center of the g.i. movement on the u.s.s. coral sea twelve hundred signed a petition demanding the ship stay home and san diego california home of the care. yes constellation a kitty hawk spawn the movement led by a group of navy officers and enlisted men. we truly believe what would stop that war was when the soldiers stopped fighting and still an active officer as were all these other guys and sailors and enlisted people as we sat around and brainstormed about what kind of a nonviolent action can we take that can actually touch sailors. around

and we saw the aircraft the biggest ship in san diego harbor the most impressive so our. it's hard for people to realize this but that ship is not a naval ship anymore it's really part of airpower and we used to attack it so it's a weapon of a boeing weapon of aggression. the original concept kain well let's do something where we allow the people on board that ship to cast a ballot as to whether or not they think they should go back to vietnam let's just hear their voice and then we said now this election should be held every shopping center in san diego county and every safeway store ought to have a little polling booth outside and we had to see how many ballots we can collect and we're going to point toward a day. to day. make

a day to day all day looking. back at what is the carrier qualified aviator and i gave me a lot of credibility with people earned or not or and even though i hadn't been in combat. people would give you a certain amount of credence of course because i knew all whole lot about how the military functioned. many of. us then. as i got through the day. here. well the question is why do you people have to look so weird. just look normal up. there was this inside out we would call it where we would where we were collecting more and more of the sailors to get them involved to get before and then they want

to end the war missions war. there was nobody from the captain of that ship to the mayor of the city i did not hold a press conference about this project everybody was commenting on us senators were commenting on it you know even if the city folks to for that ship to stay were still going without thinking just like oh that's a big ever the ship says well i know there's a lot of people on the ship who don't want to go but military is full of malcontents because it listen. now doc. while denying that the g.i.

movement even existed the house internal security committee of the united states congress held a series of hearings in one thousand nine hundred seventy one that produced thousands of pages of testimony illustrating how broadly and deeply that movement had spread that same year the f.c.a. show tour de janeiro despite being banned from military bases worldwide the show performed in japan okinawa and the philippines for over sixty thousand soldiers and every stop g.i.'s took the stage with them we can no longer make time about the atrocities and i just. this being perpetrated by the united states military and peoples of other nations and other petty harassment the servicemen and women i made two hundred day after day demands all the remaining policies against firstly because there are a species we command of logic from a nation against first anti-war g.i. because they do not agree with us policies. need to measure media and

go through all of our air and ground troops in c.i.s. vietnam as well as in korea open our japan the philippines israel cambodia thailand germany england panama. no i mean it seems i'm cynical now that we could have done there. and that you could have a hall full of guys with their fists in the air sung happy. that we had come to acknowledge their reality. and do you most. and refuse to kill. you said no man will lose you and me. what he's fighting forces to be free i used to love to watch the faces of the g.i.'s when she sang that it was like this shell of tension would drop away and you would see the youth

and the innocence and the vulnerability underneath stone to. stand strong. what. is true. this is for. this new day for the one nine hundred seventy one just five years after how it levy and donald duck and flown acts of protest thousands of vietnam veterans against the war converged on washington d.c. and threw their medals onto the capitol steps. to find anybody to take this step. you know it's kind of a unique opportunity it's very it's very rare i think in anybody's life that you

have an opportunity to really think that you are changing history that you're a part of history at first they couldn't voyageurs protests in a war that the buddha or minds or we had a thousand years in one thousand so they thought they did know how to react to that because they thought there were a bunch of them a good out there and. we all just thought it was i'm going to go barter i really learned so much just spend a day after day after day you know just people talking about you know what it's all about how we're going to deal with this stuff and how we are really going to look forward change the world that's what we want to do for it would change the world we're pretty sure this sucks you know we're pretty sure those deserve to be here and so that didn't leave much room but to change the world you know people said we keep going back we went back to get not just keep going back to vietnam because i tell you what the other side does they're always going back and they have to go back the hawks you know the patriarchs they have to go back because and they have

to revise the going back because they can't allow us to know what the what the back there really was don't you think about this shit and say. again damn. it i exit the next. government push me into trees she asked. what's the what's the pride in saying you're a veteran if you're white you're a veteran something. like. being. a veteran of the massacre at some place or another you know i. know there's no crime. here and so don't talk about go away. so it's amazing to me that as many as many g.i.'s who were actually in vietnam

actually there. then spoke out against it and demonstrated against it and. just. there was. that if there had been one hundred i would have been made that there was thousands missis. incredibly. brave people. would. do. with. the walk out.

like. most thoughts. but no better because of the. way they deal with. me like. that now so. the issue is the same or different each musician appearing on the market munching into the increased violence in radicalism is tearing pakistan apart can a country that is so polarized really. wealthy british science says it's not time to try to find. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global

economy in the kinds of reports on our t.v. .
