a minefield comes in the resonance feeds now in the palm of your. question on. the front. more news today violence is once again flared up the film these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada the first giant corporations are the day. the book. oh to a vietnam men a black soldier you know he had a gap you had a special hand shake you could even get to the point where you could even chill what part of the country he was from because everybody had their distinctive they get your handshake he definitely could tell if you could see your cover because everybody knew everybody had their little new one so you. know the problem oh my

god i'm glad to hear my own i don't know we're going back to back. you know we got to come. by. the strap is ready to swear that first just that high and then the down this way like a sony always do is going to get like a break come down on your route right. there you go sit back and i couldn't read the books oh especially bases big a big big big big big thing going to jail for the power would it have said this is what we think we're going to leave but even going to jail the dog just don't. belong in jail because it just agi the island 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 the only people with a gui pretty dire situation. a group of the inmates got together and we decided that we were going to take from this place. what happened was is that the result of this alone being three days and we're a lot of. cost is going to be burnt down the jail and the road just made a lot of people get killed. unsurvivable so. i was going to survive them what. so did you come to the decision in what you said. you know when you're laying on your back and you can't move again. you know a lot of times think soon i think about what you did you know that you. thing that you've gone to the people that you know you think you know.

i mean there's always something that. you need to do and. i think that you see i am here to see what i saw what was going on with all the states. to ryan down the streets and we were in the same county uniform but i got to remember their. own people. went with it when we were over here beating up old people over here and at the same time you guys were in the same identical uniform hair and you blew it up on. black people and dogs are running anymore tanks are on the street. in the summer of nine hundred sixty eight army national guard troops were sent into american cities as thousands of black people rioted following the

assassination of martin luther king. that spring troops are used against the war demonstrators at the pentagon. then in august soldiers at fort hood were told they would be sent to chicago to wage war demonstrations are planned for the democratic party's national convention. we just come back from fighting the vietnamese now they want us to fight the americans. the night before the troops in sausalito there was a meeting of black g.i.'s 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 you know it was like a rap session or a rally why they were opposed to going to chicago we're making it clear that it was a gentle south thing going to go on and how can i go and commit genocide on my people shoot my people and one hundred black g.s. and the stray feel brothers came up and really started poorly no need about you

know discrimination and unfair treatment and that good to rake in 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 and say i'm just a two star general let me go talk to my boss and i have an answer for you in the morning so you know we just relax you know we sleep. crack. crack me i said here. you know you know what they had to go and o m p's all around it's me and you know what are you going to be taking in piece of us you know and it came at us with this i get you know hit rate you would have been. and in the area renowned in your openness formation and comfort in peace come the grip a brother and take him back in the back and be sure to. hear screaming in the.

sea. and they were court martialed brought up by various court martial charges but it scared the hell out of military then they want to round and went through the roster of all the units who were supposed to go and took a considered to be quotes of burrs so a number of people myself included will not send. one of the most infamous of the nine hundred sixty cargo police brutally attacked demonstrators in front of the democratic bench although the army had seven teams in the right control troops to chicago from fort hood to keep them off the street. there's 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 a sudden we see this commotion kind of started being in the line and then start

come up towards us and we could see people like one i would turn to the guy behind them and they had been this excited conversation and that i returned to the guy behind him and finally big guy in front of me got the news 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 viet cong he said no we are. mark sixteen thousand nine hundred sixty eight the soldiers of charlie company eleventh brigade america division 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 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 held an unprecedented investigation that exposed a much deeper truth i think the wonder 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 us 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 walk 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 average behavior you're just coming home say not 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 true 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 the resister of the slaughter this turtle and slaughter so i think the question was why are they going after cali 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 restudy i had a friend who was it was an invite with norman group and one time he asked me would i like to accompany you into a village there was more you will 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 i think so

i mean from the way they questioned her with when she advantages they should be shot as she was about twenty times that she was questioned. and court date. this guy came over who was in knowing him he was a former major within the services when he hears me he got hungry again and came back over working with us to id aid international development and. he went over there and rip their clothes off into the night and. cut from a ridge line all the way up well just about it for breath in order organ down completely out of or cavity and threw him out and then he stopped and not over and commenced to be worried that it's going over body and left her there as it is fine for something or other and i went and listened to three days of testimony and 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 dow chemical and we configuring the napalm because the napalm wasn't sticking to the at me skin enough. i mean that was you know all of this just added to the overwhelming sense of the criminality the united states. this was armed forces day and in many cities across the country there were the usual parades displays and bands of the recent surge of protest over the war in indochina cast a shadow over today's activities this was even through some military bases where the presence of anti-war demonstrators led to the cancellation of planned observances so thousand g.i.'s marched the first year but also. they told people off limits and they told people that if you want to get arrested for store owners

downtown were putting up plywood colorings on their windows because the cops told him it was going to turn into a riot but then people decided to change it. because you know we thought making fun of your enemy was. the second year nine hundred seventy one. three or. four every conceivable room to keep our army that no remains in vietnam is in a state approaching collapse with individual units avoiding or having refused combat murdering their officers and noncommissioned officers. and dispirited

were not being amused. 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 it is more a movement and the military here. collapse 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 chad spun part of north vietnam from the sky. nixon promised that american ground troops will no longer be involved in offensive content. business richard boyle fired a space ship monitors from the cambodian sitting in a bunker but it doesn't run the first captivation a lot of people are kind of wondering if anybody back in the world knows that we're out here. like. batteries or a tourist was to be in on grocery nobody we don't even exist. we just need

battleships we're not supposed to be in combat that's why the american army could night that they were there you know that far as america was before this i got to work american troops on the border. or it would be fighting for democracy. right now or if you all like fight you go back on the north vietnamese were had they had two regiments to pack regiments totally surrounding the fire base points nothing and no. batteries we start going out there will be sitting ducks you know this thing of order think he's. going to try to hire fires mathematical logic to set us on it the captain crowed and ordered six men to go out on a night ambush which is basically a suicide mission for peace and six guys out against two regiments and they said we're going to do it make it a go and the only option it was was to get word out 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 law courts dissipate an offense and grow up in the event of mass prosecution. very united i only hope would be. ordered that company pulled out they said in another company they had heard about the refusal of alpha company the other company also refuse to fight and after that no company those troops will fight the fight anymore. two more problems to winding gone to vietnam more than just holding the enemy a day 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 that not soon enough it has produced plenty group insubordination shooting of officers by their

own men and a deadly practice called fragging of the two a purpose in my mind was he did to get me or intimidate and myself and all others in it's already in the company in the kind of sergeant gene tamely is saying with 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 franking and many g.i.'s talked openly about fragging and the military countermeasures seen more than one big group meeting where. actually all they talk about is frag and as we call pigs. i picture talking about your senior enlisted men in your officers that's correct that's why 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 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. 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 truly believed what woodstock that war was one of the soldiers start fighting and still an active officer as were all these other guys and sailors and it was two people as we sat around and brainstorm about what kind of a nonviolent action can we take that can actually touch sailors. around

and we saw here perhaps the biggest ship in san diego harbor the most impressive. it's hard for people to realize this but that ship is not a naval ship and it's really part of airpower and we used to attack as it so it's a weapon of a boeing weapon aggression. the original concept came well let's do something where we allow the people on board that ship to go 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 we said now this election should be held in every shopping center in san diego county and every safeway store ought to 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. they all make you pay me they will pay for

a living. heck i 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 i knew a lot of that out military function. yes man. i think i can benefit. right around the question why do you people look so weird like this with their cage and just look normal body else. and 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 give them a fork and if they want to end the warnings. there

was nobody from the captain of that ship for the mayor of the city where we 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 south again because that's a big ever the judge says well i know there's a lot of people on the ship who don't want to go over the military is full of malcontents because it. was a nine 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 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 frosty's an injustice being perpetrated by the united states military and peoples of other nations and on the petty harassment the servicemen and women i made two hundred day after day. policy would go first because their race. was for me a good person not just anti war g.i. because they do not agree with us with the. media and closer although your ground troops in cia vietnam as well as in korea 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. i read you post. 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 that it was like this shell attention would drop away and you would see the youth and the

innocence and the vulnerability underneath it so. yeah so. standing strong. what. is true. is this for. this neighborhood nine hundred seventy one just five years after howard levy and john dawkins lone acts of protest thousands of vietnam veterans against the war converged on washington d.c. and threw their medals on to the capitol steps. we had to fight to take the stand. you know it's kind of a unique opportunity it's very it's very rare i think it 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 we couldn't voyageurs approach us in a war that. we had a thousand years in nineteen so they thought they did know our reactor there because they thought there were a bunch of them they got out of there and probably all just thought it was a money of martyr i will learn. so much so just spent 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 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 didn't leave much room to change the world you know people so we keep going i went back to cannot keep going back to vietnam because i'll tell you what the other side does they're always going back and they have to go back the hocks 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 continue think about this and say. again they are. extremely. government pushed me into this shit. what's the what's the pride in saying you're a veteran if you're what you're better than something. like. bein. a veteran of the massacre at some place or another you know right. now or you know pride. and so don't talk about the way. those mazing i mean there's many many g.i.'s who were actually in vietnam actually there. then spoke up against it and demonstrated against.

their will. and that if there had been a hundred i would have been amazed. that there are thousands it's just. incredible. brave people. who.

like. the way they. look. at me like. that. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so please you think you understand it and then you glimpse
