the prisoners are the patriots.
1:30:04
[Breathing Heavily]
1:30:06
And no matter
how badly treated we are,

1:30:09
still we are proud,
1:30:12
because at least we are free,
1:30:14
instead of enslaved as so many
of the so-called government officials.

1:30:20
[Speaking French]

And so,you see,

1:30:26
when a Vietnamese works
for peace and for liberty,

1:30:31
he is considered a communist.
1:30:37
It is an honor for the communists
to have to work for peace and justice.

1:30:44
So it is the government which
gives validity to being a communist,

1:30:48
because they continue to say...
1:30:50
that the people who work forjustice
and for peace are communists.

1:30:56
You see?

We were learning to be good soldiers...

1:31:00
back when you're three, four,
five, six years old.

1:31:02
That's when good ol'mom is telling you
to obey the local camp regulations.

1:31:07
In this case, it's the house.
1:31:09
And you start to learn
to respect authority.

1:31:13
And so, finally, lo and behold,
at 20, 22 years old,

1:31:16
you find yourself in service
and maybe take that last and final step,

1:31:20
where you become
quite regimented...

1:31:22
in a military form of discipline.
1:31:25
That stuff isn't worth the paper it's
written on, if the basis isn't there.

1:31:30
You need that cornerstone that goes back
to childhood, and who's teaching you,

1:31:33
but good old moms,
women like yourselves.

1:31:38
It's terrifying. When you're facing
a torture session with a bunch of gooks,

1:31:41
it's gonna be pretty darn miserable.
1:31:43
No doubt about it.
You're scared. You're really petrified.

1:31:45
But at the other side,
you have a bunch of women back there...

1:31:48
telling you, ''You better do something,''
you know?

1:31:51
That's the wrath of God. You don't
want 100 women climbing down your back,

1:31:54
-[Laughter]
- So you figure the gooks aren't so bad.

1:31:57
So you press on.
1:31:59
In many respects,
the destiny of our country,
