: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.
:38:00
They were instructed
to remove the eyes of the individual...
:38:05
and place them in a hole
in the middle of the back,
:38:08
and that would say to the Vietnamese,
you have to understand,
:38:11
uh, that whoever did that
was ubiquitous.
:38:14
In other words,
the eye being the symbol of ubiquity,
:38:17
uh, or of all-present, all-powerfulness
on the part of the Saigon government.
:38:20
Which is an easy message
for the local villagers to get.
:38:25
In fact, the American advisors didn't
have that much of a stomach for it.
:38:28
So they used to use CBS logos.
:38:31
You know, the eye of CBS?
:38:34
And they would kill the individual
and then they would leave him...
:38:36
with kind of a calling card on him.
:38:38
At one point, I was invited to go along
on an airborne interrogation...
:38:42
in a helicopter with the marines
northwest of Da Nang.
:38:45
And they took along
two Vietnamese.
:38:48
And one was already reduced
by beatings with a rubber hose...
:38:52
and some other methods
of, uh, beating and torture...
:38:55
to the point where he couldn"t talk,
he couldn"t respond.
:38:57
As an example to the one
they wanted to question, they"d say,
