during the vietnam war changed the course of history. tour viet. minh a black soldier you know he had a gap you had a special handshake you could even go to the pool you could even chill what part of the the country he was from because everybody had their distinctive the debt ratio and you definitely can tell if you want your code because everybody knew everybody knew what. you know. i don't know of knowing this fact that. we can't know we got something. like. this really this where the first is. and then go down this way like a sony always do this with you know like a break from god you around. there you go. back to the national marine corps the bloods i was just going to base your big big

big big living going to jail for doubt the crowd would never have said this is really what we tell them we believe that they were going to jail for god just like your. long jail with the stargate in the well being vietnam was pretty much just like jails in america but in a place that in the same black there was a lot of bouncing in this prison a lot of stuff going on with people with a green pretty dire situation. got together and we decided that we were going to escape from this place. what happened was is that the result was a long. week they believe a lot of the. cost to go in that it broke down the jail and they were just made a lot of people get killed. some survival skill. is going to survive the matter

what. how do you come to the decision to move to something you know when you're laying on your back and you can't move for being in pain you know you have a lot of time to think soon you think about which period in which you don't think that you can move people that you you know. people that have been. i mean there's always something that. i mean if you know. i think that you single parent home your family i saw what was going on with all the state. groups are running down the streets and i'm wearing the same proudly uniform i got here in memphis that are. big enough people. one minute we will be here people not on people but we're

here and the same time you guys. were in the same identical uniform. and you keep nope on. black people dogs are running near where tanks are on the street. in the summer of one thousand nine hundred eighty 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 are planned for the democratic party's national convention. we just come back from fighting a vietnamese not i want us to fight the americans. the night before the troops are supposed to leave there was a meeting of black g.i.'s gathered up in

a parking lot in the first armored division section and they were out there all night talking to. rep says you know really why they were opposed to going to chicago we're making it clear that it was a general south thing going to go on and how can i go and commit genocide on my people shoot my people at one hundred g.s. and it's crazy feel brothers came up and really started pointing on the end about you know discrimination and unfair treatment and not getting the right and needed and 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 and say 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 we're going to sleep. it was cricket said that he said it here. you know you know what he'll go and oh impedes all around it's me you know what are you going to change m.p.'s are you know it came at

us with this i get. it right you would have been in it and in their era now and in the openness formation and i'm for him please come in and grip a brother and chicken back in the back of the shit i. hear screaming in the back seat. 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 around and went through the roster of all the units who are supposed to go and considered to be quote subversion so a number of people myself included will not send. one of the most infamous is that the nineteen sixty chicago police brutally attacked demonstrators in front of the democratic convention although the army it's an extension of right control troops

to chicago from fort hood they kept them on the street. is no longer certain which side the g.i. . the military had a problem on and it is about to go from bad to worse. we were in. the practice line i believe it was a long line of assent and we see this commotion kind of started being in the line and then start to 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 that i would turn to the guy behind him and finally the guy in front of me got and he is 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 thousand nine hundred eighty eight the soldiers of charlie company eleventh brigade america the vision and to the village of me life twenty

four hours later over five hundred villagers men women and children lay dead brutally in watching the 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 the 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 health 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 into france 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 talk away from the truth you can't lie and put up a smokescreen and say oh this is a the words they used back on an isolated instance of average behavior you were 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. right 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 terrible and aim slaughter so i think the question was why they go after kally we're calley was doing precisely what we were all told to do we were in vietnam essentially ok

which is kill them all and sort it out later. inclined freestate i have friend who is it was an advisor with norman group and one time he asked me would i like to accompany you into a village there was more you would 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 with about she was questioned by six garments in the way they questioned her with and she had bandages. they shot him in about twenty times that she was questioned. and put dead. this guy came over who was you knowing him he was a former major within the services when he hears nic you get hungry again and came back over working with us they id eight international development and. he went over there and rip their clothes off into the night and he got from a regina all the way up well just about of her breast in order organ down

completely out of or cavity into a mound and then he stopped and over and commenced to peel everybody's going off her body and left her there as a sign for something or other and i went and listened to three pages 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 . you know whether was agent orange in there in doubt chemical and we can figuring the napalm because the napalm wasn't sticking to the bit me skin enough. i mean that was you know all of this just added to the overwhelming sense of the criminality. this is armed forces day and in many cities across the country there were the usual

parades displays and bands but the recent surge of protest over the war in indochina cast a shadow over today's activities this was even some military bases where the presence of anti-war demonstrators led to the cancellation of and observances four thousand g.i.'s march the first year right outside the base and they told people the limits and they told people that if you want to get arrested for store owners downtown were putting up plywood coverings on their windows because the cops told it was going to turn into a riot but then people decided to change it for our farmers just because you know we thought making fun of your enemy was. the second year nine hundred seventy one. three for.

bravery to see the wounded keep our army that now remains in vietnam is in a state approaching collapse but individual units avoiding or having refused combat murdering their officers and noncommissioned officers drug ridden and dispirited were not. by the pentagon's own figures during the ten years of the vietnam war five hundred thousand soldiers to serve. in the face of the term and i'm president today to war movement and the military here. alas the nixon administration announced the policy of vietnam the sation an effort to shift the burden of combat to the south vietnamese army while american jets spun part of north vietnam from the skies. nixon trama spent american ground troops that no longer be involved in offensive combat. this is richard oil fired

a space two kilometers from the cambodian border sitting in a bunker not just in front of the first camp which a lot of people kind of wonder if anybody in the world knows we were rushing. like . the batteries very tourist was to be in on groceries with nobody we don't even exist. we just made americans troops were not supposed to be in combat that's why the american army could nine hundred i bet they were there you know that far as america was before this i got the word american troops on the border isn't going to . be playing a democracy actually i tell ya old thing right now or you all like why you go back home the north vietnamese were here they have two regiments to crack regiments stoli surrounding the fire against this point so it's like one of. the series we start going out here will be sitting ducks that's the thing to. think he's.

going to try to hire a hired man they don't have a lot to say just send us out to the camp and president ordered six men to go out on a night ambush what is basically a suicide mission because he sent six guys out against two regiments and they said if we're going to do it we're going to go and the only option it was was to get word out the outside world on a boat petition at the ready we are under siege and for your base case we are faced daily with the decision of whether to take a court martial or to dissipate an offensive brought in the event of mass prosecution. very intimate i only hope would be. it's not so afraid but ordered that company pulled out they sent in another company they'd heard about the refusal of alpha company the other company also refused to

fight and after that no company notes troops were for like i said we're not going to fight. the war problems to winding down the vietnam war then just holding the enemy and moving south vietnamese troops into the line one unforeseen problem is trying to keep up the route of g.i. as you know they're going on but not soon enough it has produced plenty of grit and subordination shooting the lobsters by their own men and i definitely actress called frankie and the two purposes in my mind was even to get me or intimidate in myself and all others in this already in the company and battalion sergeant jean tenley is 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 where. actually all they talk about is a fragging as we call pigs. i take you're talking about your senior enlisted men in your officers that's correct that's what most come in terms. forced to rely almost solely on the air war by nine hundred seventy two the united states launched an unprecedented garage in vietnam dropping more tonnage of bombs on that tiny country that were used by all sides during world war two and with the assault coming mainly for america. after 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 carriers constellation and kitty hawk spawn a movement led by

a group of navy officers and enlisted men who we truly believe what would stop that war was one soldier start fighting 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 biggest ship in san diego harbor some us in crisis and. it's hard for people to realize this but that ship is not a naval ship it's really part of airpower and we used to attack as it so it's a weapon of a boeing so i can regression. the original concept again 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 the if not let's

just hear their voice and then he said now this election should be held every shopping center in san diego county and every safeway store i have a little polling booth outside and we have to see how many ballots we can collect and we're going to point toward a day. to day they all make sure they want to keep a day for a living. check out was a 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. creedence of course because they knew that our military functioned. yes and. lonely no not. right around the question why do you people look so weird like they're.

just normal up. there was this inside out we would call it where we were where we were collecting more and more of the sailors to get them involved to give them up for did they want to end the war nations. there's nobody from the captain of that ship to the mayor of the cities or did not hold a press conference about this project everybody was commenting on it u.s. senators were commenting on it you know even if the city folks for that ship to stay were still going because i guess rose has left because 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 visited to listen.

to. our. plans. 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 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 to 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 remain silent about it frosty's an injustice being perpetrated by the united states military and peoples

of other nations not a petty harassment the servicemen and women i made two hundred day after day. this policy would go first because their rate. was for many against her daughter's anti-war g.i. because they do not agree with us with the. media and close robo near ground troops in cia vietnam as well as in korea wound open our japan the philippines israel cambodia thailand germany england panama. i mean it seems unthinkable now that we could have done this 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. do you. and refuse to kill.

you said no man will lose you to me. what he's fighting for home use to be free i used to love to watch the faces of the g.i.'s when she sang it was like this tension would drop away and you would see the youth and the innocence and the vulnerability underneath that stone to. stand strong. what. is true. there stood a foot 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 on to the capitol steps. i am to take that. you know it's kind of a unique opportunity it's very it's very rare i think you can 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 could avoid just protests in a war that good to be good or minds or use thousand years it might change so they thought they did know i reacted because they thought there were a bunch of very good out there and probably all just dogs how many of barter i will or. so much joe just spent a day after day after day just people talking about you know what it's all about and how we're going to deal with this stuff and how we will go forward change the world that's what we want to do course wouldn't change the world we're pretty sure

this sucks you know we're pretty sure those deserve to be here and so that did leave much room but to change the world you know it's a week a crime wave when i have to cannot 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 and don't you think about this and say. again they are. excellent. government pushed me included. what's the what's the pride in saying you're a veteran if you're what you're veteran or something. like i'm.

being. a veteran of the massacre at some place or another you know i. don't want you know pride. so don't talk on the way. so it's amazing to me that as many as many g.i.'s that were actually in vietnam actually there. and then spoke up against it and demonstrated against. me. better and. that if there had been one hundred i would have been amazed. that there was thousands and it's just. incredible. brave people.

like. the way they. look.
