:36:02
Yeah?
:36:03
It's really been building up
over the past couple of months.

:36:05
- And--
- Am I going to be able to be there?

:36:10
Of course you're going to be there.
I'm gonna try to get Ronnie there, too.

:36:14
"Cause you know what
I feel about the army.

:36:16
These people holding their heads high
because they lost a son...

:36:21
in Vietnam or something.
:36:23
I don't think
that's much to be proud of.

:36:28
They've lost more than they'll ever gain
for the rest of their lives.

:36:35
And I remember
I was sitting at the base of the hill,

:36:39
and I was on one of the tanks.
:36:42
And I had an M-16,
and I had stacks of magazines.

:36:45
And there were two guys, you know,
:36:48
that were going through,
like, some grass and bam!

:36:52
I dinged in on one of'em,
and I nailed him, you know.

:36:55
And the Aussie with me confirmed,
you know, that I dinged him.

:37:00
And I felt good.
And I wanted more.

:37:03
And it wasn't that I wanted more
for politics or anything like that.

:37:08
No. I couldn't of cared
if they were whatever.

:37:11
I just wanted them because
they were the opposition, the enemy.

:37:16
Stinking little savages.
Wipe 'em out, I say.

:37:20
Wipe 'em out.
Wipe 'em off the face of the earth!

:37:24
Will we ever understand
these Eastern races?

:37:26
Hit me, Poon Soon.
:37:31
[Gargling]
:37:33
You hideous yellow monster!
:37:35
I wanted to go out
and kill some gooks, you know?

:37:38
I-I really--I-I don't know. I guess
I had been totally brainwashed,

:37:43
because I could remember when
people used to call me "blanket ass''...

:37:47
or "chief'
and they still did, you know?

:37:49
I think my name was, uh,
Ira Hayes in boot camp.

:37:53
Either Ira Hayes or squaw, depending on
what mood the drill instructor was in.

:37:57
But there I was, you know,
saying I wanted to go kill some gooks.
