we restored a close working relationship with saigon. in the resulting atmosphere of mutual confidence, president thieu and his government have taken important initiatives in the search for a settlement. we speeded up the strengthening of the south vietnamese forces. i am glad to report tonight that, as a result, general abrams told me on monday that progress in the training program had been excellent and that, apart from any developments that may occur in the negotiations in paris, the time is approaching when south vietnamese forces will be able to take over some of the fighting fronts now being manned by americans. in weighing alternate courses, we have had to recognize that the situation as it exists today is far different from what it was 2 years ago or 4 years ago or 10 years ago. one difference is that we no longer have the choice of not intervening. we have crossed that bridge. there are now more than a half million american troops in vietnam and 35,000 americans have lost their lives. we can have honest debate about whether we s

in saigon and vietnam at the time. this is what i recall a cushy assignment, so i'm directing and it's my butt you can see in that photo. the next photo is the opposite this was not so cushy. the father of helicopter warfare, flew me to d.c., he told me what he wanted. and so i went back and did a complete series on the shoot. we were not allowed to shoot, officers -- the next photo shows me out making that film. and i was shooting, we were on an air assault, and i had. i couldn't resist taking the shot there are some other shots that go along with that that we're trying to find. i had three motion picture cameras. the lieutenant general said, you want helicopters in the air? whatever you want you got. i want this filmed, though. at one time we had 15 helicopters up there going to war, doing their thing. we shot every conceivable subject in vietnam. and the networks bite our foota footage. we put the footage on pan am, twa to get it back. the army pictorial center. post gaspo. i opened my own agency and i've done that

where is the democracy in saigon that our sons are dying for? in the hands of two? in the jails where they put 35,000 political prisoners, including the man who came in second in that open and democratic election? in the newspapers that get close d down when they dare to write the truth? and now, cambodia. all right, so we don't buy war as a concept. it's really working. we buy it in reality. as taxpayers, we are the biggest consumers of all. and on april 15, we all sent in our tax dollars. here, we said to our administration, spend it wisely for me. go to the market and purchase what i need to make my life better. but we did not give them a market list. so those busy little budget ours put their heads together, and here we go again. $.65 out of every dollar for pentagon products. $.65 out of every dollar for war. past, present and future. $.65 out of every dollar for death and destruction. i saw the budget. do you know that it now costs $18 million a year to service and maintain our military cemeteries? and they are running out of space. how many more cemeteries wi

on april 4, 1975, he was looking after hundreds of orphans from saigon. the president of the united states, gerald ford, had ordered the air force to rescue 2000 orphans before the north vietnamese approached the capital of the republic of vietnam. while master sergeant johnson was carrying for them, -- caring for them, his c5 crashed. 78 children perished that day, 50 members of the united states air force perished with them. a father and a friend was lost, but his life was a testament to the spirit of america we see here today. i was honored to visit that wall 44 years after the event with sergeant johnson's daughter. when america was asleep in the 1970's, something stirred in the thousands of people here. the shameful treatment of our warriors went against everything that was taught by the man who is looking down on us today. in his second inaugural address when he prayed to end the scourge of war, he said with malice toward none and charity for all, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his

but more than anything else, i want to point to the briefing given to the secretary of saigon was967, in which the claim without exception that morale was exceptionally high. themselves have a sense of personal satisfaction. what you see is spin. this language is way over-the-top no matter what the state of morale was. but when you look at information from the time, close to half a million u.s. troops in vietnam and the court-martial stayed -- court-martial rate stayed at about 2.2 per thousand in 3.0 --, versus 2.7 north 2.7 or 3.0 in the rest of the country. the estimated improperly that the use of marijuana was one in 2000. they found no evidence whatsoever of heroin use, there was no mention of racial conflict, there was no fracking got -- no fragging, no mention of combat refusal or any mention of dissent. so there is certainly an internal as well as an extern a perception that something had changed. inwhat actually did happen this period following the tet offensive? we begin with our first session, a roundtable moderated by a professor from chapman university. it will feature pr
