:28:01
[Man On P.A.] "We hold these truths
to be self-evident.
:28:03
That all men are created equal.
:28:06
That they are endowed by their creator
with certain unalienable rights.
:28:10
That among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. "
:28:16
And when you judge the Revolution
and the problems and the success we had,
:28:18
it was a two-way street.
:28:20
A good many citizens
at the time of the Revolution...
:28:24
actually stayed
and fought with the British.
:28:26
It was close to being a civil war
in many areas.
:28:28
You actually split
many-many families.
:28:31
Thomas Jefferson said,
"The tree of revolution is--''
:28:34
or "The tree of liberty is...
:28:36
watered by the blood of revolution
every generation.''
:28:40
And I think that's a little exaggerated,
but there's some truth to that.
:28:44
[Man On P.A.] The war had come
to Westchester County,
:28:47
but so too had independence
and a new responsibility.
:28:51
Men are getting killed, men are killing.
That's the parallel.
:28:54
As far as politics, are you kidding?
:28:57
Oriental politics?
Don't put me on, man.
:29:01
[Man]
Fire!
:29:04
[Man] We haven"t found his weapon yet.
We"re still looking for it.
:29:08
-[Man #2] You got a weapon?
- No, sir.
:29:10
He had one, man.
This guy"s got ammo.
:29:12
[Man #3]
I"m planning to medivac this guy.

[Ellsberg]
The people who are living in the jungle,
:29:23
under the bombs, without pay,
without their families,
:29:27
are doing so because
they are fighting for independence.
:29:30
Because they"re fighting,
in this case, for unification...
:29:33
and they"re fighting for revolution.
:29:35

:29:39
[Moaning Louder]
:29:42
Of course,
the name for a conflict...
:29:47
in which you're opposing a revolution
is counter-revolution.
:29:51
And this is something
We never admitted to ourselves at all.
:29:53
It's-It's what we were really doing.
:29:55
[Man]
The letters and the reports we had...
:29:59
on Ho Chi Minh"s attitude
back in 1946--
