@cjl71rm 'Fraid not. As long as poorly-educated American kids with few prospects continue to believe the lazy application of the term 'hero' to all soldiers, and as long as the rest stick to their blind patriotism and mindless chants of 'USA! USA!', the environment for high enrollment rates will remain, and the government won't have to implement the draft. It was the drafting of ordinary Americans, and the stories these men told on their return, that helped do it for the Vietnam war.
I'm usually repelled by politically biased journalism but I like this one... There's a fine line between journalism with a political purpose and simple propaganda. I think Pilger is on the right side of that line.
crazy how most of them kids don't even look like soldiers, just normal young guys just like anyone you would pass by in your everyday life. they dont belong there but they got put into that bs cuz of all this corruption.
great post, the runts of the nam and the runts in iraq are just cannon fodder, tools of profit for the war mongers. and the women on there were just as dumb as the women now, so no change there either.
@4:04 poor grunt talking about his fiancee dying back home and he's gonna be starting over on return - grunt next to him saying his wife had a kid and he wants to be there. Damn - these guys had nothing but torment and terror.

Nazis for such crimes have been hung up. And who has escaped those has caught and has destroyed "Massad"
JDW, finally in time they made crafty and cunning use of the Jews by the Illuminati conspirators. They actually gained suport from the jews in the Ghetto because they believed that they were going to help them. It is being much the same way now by promising this lie about Venus this and advancing mankind by eliminating the "USELESS" eaters. Wrong; the elite are lazy and useless. Documented, they made their money not from but from starting wars and murder....off the blood of innocent people
God so named the Synagogue of Satan as Jews who claim to be jews but are not jews. It is made up of all different nationalities and all funneled to a Luciferian conspiracy whereas Lucifer is using Jews and gentiles and not just one. It is a Masonic conspiracy going back to Nimrod. Yes, the zionist jews jumped on the van wagon and have even set up their own breathern...like the Rothschilds. Google Anthony Sutton's book's "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution" and ....
Wall Street and the Rise of Nazism". Albert Pike was no Jew and he planned both Russian Revolutions, and three world wars to take place in the 20th century. Albert Pike, Mason and Luciferian planned these between 1850 and 1871. The truth, it was renegade Jesuits and Khazaria/Turkish Jews. included are also chronic malcontents among the Protestants and jews advanced to the highest order of the Illuminati.
Americans simply have too much to lose during the 70's. they have nice big house with a.c waiting for them back home. compare to the vietnamese, they really have nothing to lose.
guess what....communism was NOT designed by Karl Marx. He plagarized a document sent to him by Albert Pike in, Mason and Luciferian in 1878. The document was called "The Science of Government Based on Natural Law" by Clinton Roosevelt 1841. This was plagarized from a long Document and plan by Adam Weihaupt finished on May 1, 1776. You won't find this in history books but I found a reprint and background. also, Albert Pike Tasked Karl Ritter to write the anti-thesis, FACISM at the same time.
Maybe some of these grunts were hamming it up a bit, like the two soldiers, one with his helmet on backwards. I have been acquainted with vietnam vets of this period of the war, and they seem pretty gung ho. So, maybe this program might have been accurate, but maybe in a narrower sense. Still, there was a wave of rebellion within the ranks at this time.
"I have been acquainted with vietnam vets of this period of the war, and they seem pretty gung ho"
Yeah, forty years of distance will do that to you.
Have you ever considered that their 'gung ho' attitude has been shaped by years of repropagandisation at the hands of those who claim 'the press/students/hippies lost us that damn war?
Yes that is a very good point, the one you make of the distance of time. As you are probably well aware of, the hippy movement was more a media engenderment than any "real" presence in the later stages of the Vietnam war. If my reading of history is correct, the late 1960s saw considerable public disenchantment-if not marked polarization-over U.S. policy in Vietnam. The armed forces were unstoppable, as far as military might:but wars are not won solely on military supremacy.
Very true - it depends on what kind of war you are fighting. If a modern army was to fight a war of utter annihalation, then they would certainly be successful - of course public opinion will never allow that to happen!
I agree with that, you could go on a Army camp in Iraq or Afghanistan and find a group of soldiers who would sound like these guys. Theres always been soldiers like that and always will.
To help put it in context, this was a year into Nixon's "Vietnamization" program. The war was being turned over to the South Vietnamese; America's combat role was diminishing, and life in the US Army in Vietnam was changing. I'm not making excuses, just providing a little background.
