column. go to or via you dog when you were middle black soldier you know he had it debbie had a special handshake you could even you got to the point where you could even kill would part of the country he was from because everybody had their distinctive the death ray and shade he kept and they could tell if you within your company because everybody knew everybody had their little knew what to. do you know the problem oh my god i'm playing the amount i don't know where they just check back. this. week you know we got to come. back. to strap this really this where the first just that high and then go down this way like a sony almost is going to get like a break from don you around right. there you go that's it better to me the blood oh my specialty basses big big big big hit even going to

jail for the power would it enhance it this is really what we did to other things we've done a bit even going to jail don't just put on. a moment jail because it just gave them the well being was pretty much just like jails in america played them the same black there was a lot of bouncing in this prison plus the people with it and we looked pretty dire situation. a group of inmates got together and we decided that you good that you speak from this place. what happened was is that the result was a long. three days and we had a lot of virgin. costigan in that it broke down the jail and he would just make a lot of people get killed. some survival so. i was going to survive the met and what. did you come to the decision to say that you know

when you're laying on your back you can't move from doing you know you know you have a lot of time to think soon think about what you think you know what you don't think that you've gone through the people that you. people that are. i mean there's always something that. i think that you don't get and i think the chinks in their home their kind of thing where i saw what was going on and all the states due to running down the streets and i'm wearing the same family uniform that i got here in memphis they're a corker they've beaten up on people. when we were over here people knock on people over here. and at the same time you guys. were in the

same identical uniforms and i'm real hair in there but now bonnie. black people on the run anywhere can excel 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 screamed troops we used against antiwar demonstrators at the pentagon. then in august soldiers at fort hood were told they would be sent to chicago where anti-war demonstrations are planned for the democratic party's national convention . they would 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 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 near him like a rap session or rally why they were opposed to going to chicago where making a career of it it was a gentle south and going to go on and how could i go and commit genocide on my people. there were hundreds of like jazz and straight feel brothers came up and really started poor you know need about you know discrimination and unfair treatment and that getting the right in need it 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 with the sleep i was cracked. cracked me a second here. you know you know what i hear going oh in peace all around it's me you know what when are you going to be cheney m.p.'s are you know it came at us

with baroness i guess. you would have been. and in the area renowned you open this formation a group or in peace come in and grip a brother and take him back in the back and beat the shit i. hear screaming in the room. jane. and they were court martialed brought up on various court martial charges played scared the hell out of military then they want to round and one through the roster of all the units who are supposed to go and considered to be quote subversive so a number of people myself included will not sunfish. one of the most infamous is that the nine hundred sixty cargo 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 off the street. was no longer

certain which side the guys in. the military had a problem on the say 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 getting 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 that guy would turn to the guy behind him and finally the guy in front of me got the names 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 the vision and to the village of may lie 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 effect 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 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 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 then and isolated instance of average 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 three eyes 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 turtle and aim slaughter so i think the question was why are they going 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. in quine's restate

i had a friend who was it was an advisor with norman group and one time he asked me what i'd like to accompany you into a village there 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 so i mean from the way we questioned her within she had bandages they say they shot her she was about twenty times that she was questioned. and quite dead. this guy came over who was you knowing him he was a former major within the service of twenty years nic he got hungry again and came back over working with us to id aid international development and. he went over there and rip the clothes off into the night and. cut from a ridge line all the way up well just about up to her breast and order organ down completely out of or cavity into a mound and then he stopped and not over and commenced to you i read it is going on

her body and left her there it is time for 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. you know whether was agent orange in there in dow chemical and we can figure it in the napalm because the napalm wasn't sticking to the vietnamese came enough and 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 but the recent surge of protest over the war in

indochina cast a shadow over today's activities this was even though at some military bases where the presence of anti-war demonstrators led to the cancellation of. four thousand g.i.'s marched the first year. they told people off limits and told people. were putting up plywood coverings on your windows because the cops told 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 four.

where we see the ability to keep our army that now remains in vietnam is in a state approaching collapse with 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 start. in the face of the term and the president of the war movement and the military here collapsed the nixon administration announced the policy of vietnam the station an effort to shift the burden of combat to the south vietnamese army while american chad spun part of north vietnam. since promised that american ground troops would no longer be involved in offensive calm time. this is richard boyle

firebase pace two kilometers from the cambodian border sitting in a bunker just in front of the first capped mission a lot of people are kind of wondering if anybody back in the room knows that we're out here. like. the batteries are a tourist was to be in on groceries with nobody we don't even exist. we just need. we're not supposed to be in combat that's why the american army could nine hundred that they were there you know that far as america it would be for so i got the work of american troops on the border isn't going. to be putting out the moccasin. tejal thing right now or if you all like to go back home the north vietnamese were here they had two regiments contract regiments stoli surrounding the fire against this plan so it's like no. batteries we start going out there will be sitting ducks you know that's the thing of order i think he's. a choice the higher hires man they

don't have a lot to say just send us out into the camp and frode and ordered six men to go out on a night ambush what is basically a suicide mission if you sent six guys out against two regiments and they said we're going to kill it we're going to go and the only option it was was to get word out of the outside world and they wrote a petition at the ready we are under siege and free base case we are faced daily with the decision of whether to take a court martial of her to dissipate an offensive role in the event of mass prosecution of our unit i only hope would be public opinion. and i think. it's not so afraid of what might order get company pulled out they see. never company they heard about the refusal of alpha company the other company also refused to fight and after that no company no scripts will fuck that's what we're

not going to fight for. your problems to winding down the vietnam war then just holding the enemy at bay and moving south vietnamese troops into the line one unforeseen problem is trying to keep up the neurology guys who know they're going on but not soon enough it has produced plenty group insubordination shooting of officers by the wrong man and a deadly practice called writing to a purpose in my mind was he did to get me or intimidate to myself and all others in authority in the company in the battalion sergeant jean king later 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. because the fragmentation grenade is often the weapon used the violent attacks on authority have come to be known as spreading and many g.i.'s talk openly about fragging and the military

countermeasures say more than one big group meeting where. 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 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 of 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 from aircraft. 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. carriers constellation and kitty hawk spawn the movement led by a group of navy officers and enlisted men. truly believed what woodstock that war

was when the soldiers stopped fighting it i'm still an active officer as were all these other guys and sailors and it was two people as we sat around and brainstormed about what kind of a nonviolent action can we take that can actually touch sailors. around and restart the aircraft or the biggest ship in san diego harbor some of. our. it's hard for people to realize this but that ship is not a naval ship or it's really hard airpower and we used to attack it so it's a weapon of a boeing smyth an aggression. the original concept cain 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 he said now this election should be held in 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 did you maybe go. a day with a whole day living. eck 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 of credence of course because i knew our whole lot about how the military functioned. yes ma'am. and i don't like it if i can do anything. right around the question why do you people that look so weird like. you 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 give them up for it if they want to in the mornings. 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 us senators are commenting on it you know even if the city votes to for that ship to stay we're still going about things just because 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.

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.d.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 silent about the trustees and. just as being perpetrated by the united states military and peoples of other nations nor the petty harassment the servicemen and women i made during

dirt day after day. policy would get a person because of their race. was to me again first off as anti-war g.i. because they do not agree with us with the. media and close robo air and ground troops and cia from vietnam as well as from 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. i think this and their song happy. that we had come to acknowledge their reality. to you. and refused to kill. you said no man was you

and me. what he's hiding folders to be. i used to love to watch the faces of the g.i.'s when she sang it was like this shell of tension would drop away and you would see the youth and the innocence and the vulnerability underneath the song. yeah. standing strong. what do you. do. this for. and then stay for the one nine hundred seventy one just five years after how it's 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. without a fight at n.b.c. to take the stand. you know it's kind of a unique opportunity it's very it's very rare i think in in anybody's life that you have an opportunity to really think that you are changing history but you're a part of history at first you couldn't voyageurs protests in a war good good good good or we had a thousand years in nineteen so they thought they did know our reacted because they thought here were a bunch of big good out there and probably all just talk and i'm going to go barter i will learn. so much so just spent a day after day after day just people talking about you know what's all about how we're going to do with the stuff and how we will go forward change the world that's what we want to do course 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 so we might went back 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 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 a big think about this shit and then you say. jack damn. bad. guy x. and. this government pushed me into this. what's the what's the pride in saying you're a veteran if you're what you're better than something. like i'm. green. a veteran of the massacre at some place or another you know i.

don't want to you know pride. and so don't talk about go away. so it's amazing to me many many g.i.'s who were actually in vietnam actually they're. out there and spoke out against it and demonstrated against. it because. they're there. and that if there had been a hundred i would have been right. there was thousands it's just. incredible. brave people. put.

the. body. like. the most. out of. me like.

the emulate. the air.
