That really is very good - you keep to the pace/tempo of the speech - which I imagine is difficult as the original seems to meander along . Well done!
@Ghengisfritzmeister The inoculated children speech was based on a true story of what a green beret witnessed in the war. I've heard that he was a friend of John Milius. Something like that.
@NeverAloneForever i have spoken to veterans and heard their stories. they are horrible yet amazing at the same time, human nature at its most extreme
@Ghengisfritzmeister I've heard some as well. They make me think of Martin Sheen's line - "They weren't looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I'd been back there, and I knew that it just didn't exist anymore".
@Ghengisfritzmeister I can imagine so. That was another Cold War era conflict, right? Now that I think of it none of my relatives (that I know of) were involved in that war. Just the two big ones and Vietnam.
Hmm . . . It's quite the coincidence that I was just about to watch the rest of the "Welcome to North Korea" documentary. Kim Il Sung was his name.
@Ghengisfritzmeister Right. Mao sent his troops to fight and stop the U.S. I've also heard that some Russians were fighting too . . . or is that just a rumor?
@NeverAloneForever general Macarthur warned Eisenhower about fighting land wars in Asia. basically its, "you can't tell who the enemy is". of course, Ike didnt listen.
@NeverAloneForever oh, that one is deadly. imagine, you are in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the terrain or the people. the enemy has allies that you don't even know. russians? chinese? koreans? laos? cambodia? vc? north vietnamese? completely insane. the army was put in a position where it coudn't win. the inside dope was that the war was for profit, not to be won, but to be sustained for as long as possible.
@NeverAloneForever if a person has clarity, and knows what must be done, yet he is hampered by an established order which faults him, accuses him, and orders his death, yes, i would imagine he would become very, very angry. perhaps not judgemental, but angry.
@Ghengisfritzmeister And that's what made him go mad. To be in that situation must make someone so lost that they would be in a sort of interstice between good and evil. Or Jekyll and Hyde? Something like that.
@NeverAloneForever we are drifting between the movie and reality here. i am sure that there were men who thought they were fighting the war. they thought it was a war of ideologies. it is sad to realize that modern wars are vehicles for profit and nothing more. weapons dealers sell to both sides and are able to manipulate governments in order to do this. the human cost of carnage means nothing to them. of course, to the soldier, they lose their lives and many of them also lose their sanity.
@Ghengisfritzmeister Alright. I get it. I think Kurtz represents those that begin to fight to end it but then wind up getting lost. The world sure has it's wars for profits right now.
That should have been an Oscar!
