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 cover because everybody knew everybody had to want to read this. but i'm glad the amount i don't know or they just checked back. we know we got to come. right. slap. the first just that hide and down this way like a sony always do as well if you like a break from don you're out right. there you go that's it better to me the blood oh it's going to bases big a big big big hit they've been going to jail for down the power would it have said this is what we teach other things we're going to leave that they've been going to jail for don't just put on. long jail because it.

was pretty much just like jails in america playing them said black there was a lot of violence and in this prison a lot of people with a. pretty dire situation. a group of the inmates got together and we decided that we were going to take speech from this place. but happened was is that the result was alone be. costing. the big breakdown the jail and he was dismayed. by the people get killed i'm surviving still. going to survive the matter what. so did you come to the deceased and he said you know when you're laying on your back and you can't. you have a lot of time to think soon. think about what you did you know what you've done

and things that you've done to the people that you cumin people that. 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 i'm wearing the same county uniform that i got. there in memphis there that they've beaten up on people. what made it we will be here beating up on people over here and at the same time you guys were in the same identical uniforms and i'm going to have and you're beating up on. black people dong the runner for tanks 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 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 you know. really why they were opposed to going to chicago where 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 the straight feel brothers came up and really started pointing on the ng 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 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 went to sleep i was sent cracked said that he cracked me a sad to hear. 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 ten m.p.'s you know it came at us with baroness. you know you would have been. and then there is every now and then you open this formation up and grouper in peace come in and grip

a brother and take him back and back and beat the shit out. here screaming in the back you know. see. and they were court martialed brought up on various charges but it scared the hell out of the military then they went around and went through the 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. 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 sent a contingent of riot control troops to chicago from fort hood that kept them off the street. was no longer certain which side the g.i. . 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'd there be this excited conversation and then that guy would turn to the guy behind him and finally the guy and try 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 is killing women and children the vietcong 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 like 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 kally we're calley 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 norman group and one time he asked me would i like to accompany him to a village. 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 the questions are advantages. they shot as 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 twenty years he got hungry again and came back over working with usa id eight international development and. he went over there and ripped the clothes off into the night. all the way up just about of her breast and pulled her organs out completely out of a cavity amount and then he stopped over and commenced to kill 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 absolutely came away from an emotionally draining 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 . whether was agent orange and dow chemical we can figure it. because the napalm was a stick into the skin. i mean that was you know all of this just added to the overwhelming sense of the criminality. 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 and observances

thousand g.i.'s marched the first year. they told people limits and they told. us to restore our 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. because you know we thought making fun of your enemy was. the second year nine hundred seventy one. three. very conceivable indicate 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. in the face of the term and the president antiwar movement and the military here. lapse 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 bombarded north vietnam from the skies. nixon promised that american ground troops would no longer be involved in offensive combat. this is richard boyle firebase pace the two climbers from the cambodian border sitting in a bunker doesn't run the first captain a lot of people are kind of wondering if anybody back in the world knows that we're

out here. like. two batteries or a tourist posters the grocery nobody we don't even exist. we just need. 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 were no american troops on the border. to be fighting for democracy. i don't think why no or if you all go back home the north vietnamese were had they had two regiments to crack regiments totally surrounding the fire base it's plan something in the series we start going out there will be sitting ducks you know the best thing of order. to try to hire a hired man they don't have to go on thursday just send us out 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 ready we are under siege and firebase pace we are faced daily with the decision of whether to take a court martial artist repeat an offense to grow in the event of mass prosecution. the very unit our only hope would be. nixon was so afraid 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 would be 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 group insubordination shooting of officers by their own men and a definite practice called fragging of the purpose in my mind was he did to get me or intimidate and myself and all others in authority in the company and battalion sergeant gene taylor 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 fragment as we call them 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 when the united states launched an unprecedented barrage of vietnam dropping more tonnage of bombs on that tiny country than were used 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 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 it 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 or the biggest ship in san diego harbor the most impressive so. it's hard for people to realize this but that ship is not a naval ship or it's really part of airpower and we used to attack as it's it's a weapon of a boeing weapon of 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 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. to day. you

make a day all day all day living. check out was a carrier qualified aviator and that 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. trait is of course because i knew all whole lot of that out military function. yes dan. brown the question is why do you people 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 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 to for that ship to stay were still going without a guess though 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. to. oc.

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 remain silent about trustees and injustice being perpetrated by the united states military and peoples of other nations and all the petty harassment the servicemen and women i made two hundred day after day we demand. i mean policy would go first because there are a. lot of the money to go first not just anti war g.i.

because they do not agree with us with the. media in kosovo your 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. and do you most. and refuse to kill. you said no man will lose 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 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 do you. do this is true. this is true. and there's still a five thousand nine hundred seventy one just five years after how it's levy and donald duck and sloan acts of protest thousands of vietnam veterans against the war converged on washington d.c. and threw their medals onto the capitol steps. and. we had to fight it at a 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 they couldn't boy protest in a war that the buddha or minds or we had a thousand years in nineteen seventy they thought they did know our reacted or because they thought there were a bunch of them they got out there and. we all just thought it was i'm going to go farther i really learned so much so 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're 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 that it was deserved 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 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 don't you think about this ship and the. gap. that i accidently checked. the government pushed me in two days she asked. what's the what's the pride in saying you're a veteran if you know what you're a veteran or something. like. being. a veteran of the massacre at some place or another you know i. know. there's no crime. 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. me. that there was. and that if there had been one hundred i would have been made that there was thousands missis. incredibly. brave people. would. just to. give the street. ninety.

percent of the. body free up money so i took out the forms to track them to cooperate with. that they said they. might be and as most thought. has no having been hit by. the way they actually got it cost. the thieves. that was read to me like it was. something that not so.

well to british soil it's time to. go. to the. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy report on. the week's top stories from. the. set of home against the syrian regime over the crackdown and crew on the ground investigate who's really
