:39:02
"If you don't tell us
what we want to know,
:39:04
we're gonna throw you
out of the helicopter.''
:39:06
And, uh, he couldn't respond.
He didn't understand.
:39:09
They were using, uh, pigeon Vietnamese,
which he didn't understand.
:39:12
It was more English
than Vietnamese.
:39:14
They'd run him up to the helicopter--
two hefty E.M. were along--
:39:17
they'd take him by each elbow and run
him up to the door of the helicopter.
:39:22
They'd do this three or four times.
He was reduced to whimpering and crying.
:39:25
And they finally, um,
uh, told him that this was the last run.
:39:30
He still responded the same way, and
they winged him out of the helicopter.
:39:34
The second fellow
immediately started to babble.
:39:38
Anything he could tell them.
:39:40
Any kind of information
he could give them for one goal.
:39:43
And that was to reach the ground
alive again.
:39:46
I just can't see in my mind somebody
throwing somebody out of a helicopter.
:39:49
I don't believe this kind of stuff
happened. Maybe it did. I don't know.
:39:53
I never saw it, put it that way.
:39:57
I've seen G.I.'s get mad and, uh, uh,
rather than shoot one of these dinks,
:40:02
uh,just punch him right out, yeah,
with his hands.
:40:06
[Speaking Vietnamese]
:40:08
[Translator] Americans say
Vietnamese are just slant-eyed savages.
:40:11
The Vietnamese have
5,000 years of history.
:40:14
We fight against the invaders.
It is not we who are the savages.
:40:35
I don't know where they are.
That's the worst thing.
:40:37
Right around and run into the sewers
and the gutters, anywhere.
:40:40
They can be anywhere.Just hopin'
you can stay alive from day to day.
:40:44
I just want to go back home
and go to school. That's about it.
:40:47
-[Man] Have you lost any friends?
- Quite a few.
:40:49
We lost one the other day.
The whole thing stinks.
:40:54
[Yelling, Indistinct]
:40:58
The dude in the foxhole with me,
he was dead.
