but it really meant the world. itself was now a are a mosque a this is a libyan rebels had to bring order to the streets of a country ravaged by war encouraging find sense to either return home or join the army meanwhile nato countries see the ruins of their battle against colonel gadhafi . the show mourns that nailed them three hundred and since the terrorist schools the land that ended on this day seven years ago a group of extremists from the caucuses held around a thousand people stage for three days without food or. turkey

serve as diplomatic ties with israel after the jewish state refuses to apologize to the raid on the girls about the tiller that killed nine turkish citizens last year it is the u.n. investigation that claimed israel for using excessive force in the grades. up next a special report on how an antiwar movement that emerged in the one nine hundred sixty s. altered the course of history. sure vietnam when you meant a black soldier you know he had a cap you had a special handshake you could even you got to the point where you could even tell what part of the country he was from because everybody had their distinctive the gap or handshake he definitely could tell if you within your company because everybody knew everybody had their you knew what to. call them back on the mound i don't know where they just check back. with you know we got to come. back. to

slap this really this where the first just that high and then the down this way like a sony always do as well if you like a break come down on your round right. there you go sit back and i can recall the blood oh my specialty bases big big big big hit even going to jail for the power would enhance it this is really what we did to other things we deliberately been going to jail for doing just what gone. wrong in jail wasn't just in the room in vietnam 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 going on people were angry with pretty dire situation. a group of the inmates got together and we decided that we were good that it's keep from this place. what happened was is that the result was a long. day and leave

a lot of. cost to go in there if they break down the jail and it would just made. by the people going to kill. them survivalists know. i was going to survive the meddling with. how do you come to the deceased and so on. you know when you're laying on your back and you can't move for doing anything i don't have a lot of time to think soon think about what you did you know which. thing that you do do people that you you people that are. i mean there's always something that. i miss you don't get and i think that you single film you across a more i thought what was going on the more the states do to run down

the streets you know i'm wearing the same for our uniform but i've got to remember that. they've gotten up on people. where we will be here people not on people where we are and at the same time you guys. were in the same identical uniform hair and you know bon. black people are gong to run anywhere pegs 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 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 truth is close 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 in a parking lot talking to. a rally why they were opposed to going to chicago where making a career of it was a general south thing going to go on and how could 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 pouring it on the end about you know discrimination and unfair treatment not getting the right in need it 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 when to sleep i was cracking up said that he. said it here. you know you know what i hear going oh in pieces all around it's me you know what are you going to change m.p.'s us you know they came at us with baroness i get. it right you would have been it. and in the area renowned in the openness formation and good for him please come in and grip a brother and chicken back in the back of the shitter here screaming in the back seat. and they were court martialed brought up on various court martial charges but it scared the hell out of military then they want to round and went through a roster of all the units who are supposed to go and considered to be quotes

a verse and so a number of people myself included will not send. one of the most infamous and the nineteen sixty cargo police brutally attacked demonstrators in front of the democratic convention although the army it's an extension of riot control troops in chicago from fort hood to keep them off the street. is no longer certain which side the g.i. . the military had a problem on the sea 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 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 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 to be a con and he said no we are. march sixteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty eight the soldiers of charlie company eleventh brigade america the vision entered the village of me like 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 can prosecuted was william calley a lieutenant. in a cramped detroit hotel a new organization vietnam veterans against the war held an unprecedented vesta

cation 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 i bring behavior you are just coming in 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 turtle and aim slaughter so i think the question was why they go after cali where cali 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. being quite restudy i have friend who is it was in a vice 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 say they shot him in about twenty times that she was questioned. and put dead. this guy came over who was in knowing him he was a former major within the services one years need to get hungry again and came back

over working with usa id aid international development and. he went over there and rip their clothes off into the night and he got from regina all the way up well just about a poor oppressed and older organ down completely out of a cavity into a mound and then he stopped and not over and commenced to peel everybody's going off a body and left her there as a sign 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 doubt chemical and we configuring the napalm because the napalm wasn't sticking to the vietnamese skin and the. 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 out in many cities across the country there were the usual parades displays and bands with 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. the thousand g.i.'s march the first year. they told people off limits and they told people that if you want to get arrested for store owners downtown 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 a tire for hours just because you know we thought making fun of your enemy was. the

second year nine hundred seventy one. three four. where we 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. 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 it is war movement and the military here. collapse the nixon

administration announced the policy of v.n. in 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 sky. nixon traumas that american ground troops to no longer be involved in offensive combat. this is richard boyle hired a space to tell others from the cambodian border sitting in a bunker not just in front of the first cap-haitien lot of people kind of wonder if anybody in the world knows who russia. pledged. to batteries or a tourist was to be here in on groceries with nobody we don't even exist. we just need. troops we're not supposed to be in combat that's why the american army good night i bet they were there you know that far as american beef is i got to work american troops on the border isn't going. to be putting up moccasins. whole

thing right now or if you all like fight you go back home the north vietnamese were at their true regiments to crack regiments stoli surrounding the fireplace this place was like no. this is we start going out here we'll be sitting ducks you know the best thing in order. to try to hire a hired man and a half ago water they just sent us out to the camp and crowed and ordered 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 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 and they wrote a petition at the reading we are under siege and for peace peace we are faced daily with the decision of whether to take a court martial or participate in offensive grew up in the event of mass

prosecution. very unit our 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 else troops were in fact i said look we're not going to fight it or. do a lot of problems to winding down the vietnam war and just holding the enemy a day and moving south vietnamese troops into the line one unforeseen problem is trying to keep up the neurology eyes you know they're going on that not soon enough it has produced flagrant insubordination shooting of officer is by the wrong man and a definite act was called writing on the purpose in my mind was he to get me or intimidate and myself and all others in authority in the company in the battalion sergeant

gene 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 freighting 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 fragging as we call pigs. by picture talking about your senior enlisted men in your officers that's correct that's what most common terms. mean forced to rely almost solely on the air war of one thousand nine hundred seventy two when the united states launched an unprecedented garage on 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 we truly believe what would stop that war was in the 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 of. our. 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 its own it's

a weapon of a boeing smyth in regression. the original concept came 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 no 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 had to see how many ballots we can collect and we're going to point toward a day. to day all you people in a way that they will all day looking. back 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. craigs of course because i knew

a lot of that out military function. yes and. lonely no not if i got through the day. care. right around the question why do you people that look so weird like their pages just look 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 difficult for them they want to end the war nations war. there was 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

were commenting on it you know even if the city folks for that ship to stay were still going because they could just throw 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 in the senate 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 thousand seven 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 make silent about it frosty's an injustice being perpetrated by denying its military and peoples of other nations and all the petty harassment the servicemen and woman i made going dirt day after day. policies against person because of their race. and it was for me to get her daughter's anti-war g.i. because they do not agree with us with the. median income of bravo here ground troops in cia vietnam as well as in korea wound okinawa 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 and their song happy . that we had come to acknowledge their reality i read you. and refused to kill. you said no man will lose you and me. what he's hiding folders to be free i used to love to watch the faces of the g.i.'s when she sang it was like this shell attention would drop away and you would see the youth and the innocence and the vulnerability underneath the songs you. stand strong on closer. to. what.

is true. and then a staple of one nine hundred seventy one just five years after howard 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. we had to fight to take that. 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 you couldn't voyageurs protests in a war good good good good or by all we had a thousand years in nineteen so they thought they did know how to react today because they thought there were bunch of them they were out there and probably all

just dogs how many of barter i will or. so much so just spent a day after day after day just people talking about you know what's it all about and how we're going to deal with this stuff and how we are really good move 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 they did leave much room but change the world you know people that we keep going we 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 that point back because they can't allow us to know what the what the back there really was and then you think about this shit and then you say. jack daniels. bad. guy excellent.

government pushed me into this yet. what's the what's the private insane you're a veteran and you're what you're veteran is something. like. being. a veteran of the massacre of someplace or another you know i. know. you don't cry. so don't talk about killing. so it's amazing to me that as many as many g.i.'s who were actually in vietnam actually there. and then spoke out against it and demonstrated pictures and. just. be. there through it. that if there had been a hundred i would have been amazed. that there were thousands there's just. incredible

. brave people. to. thank. you for having.

me like. that.
