The Vietnamese fight
only in self-defense.

:54:03
Ultimately, the Americans
will see the light.

:54:07
If not, they will defeat themselves.
:54:10
You know, Vietnam, uh,
reminded me of a--of a child,

:54:14
the developing of a child.
:54:17
The laws of nature control
the development of this child.

:54:21
A child has to sit up
before it crawls.

:54:23
It has to crawl
before it walks.

:54:25
It has to walk before it runs.
:54:27
[Speaking Vietnamese]
:54:30
[Translator] No matter how
many decades America fights,

:54:33
it will never conquer Vietnam,:never.
:54:39
I"m telling you so that you will go back
and repeat it to President Nixon.

:54:47
Over here, as long as there is
rice to eat, we"ll keep fighting.

:54:52
And if the rice runs out, then we"ll
plow the fields and fight again.

:54:57
I know very little about it
over there, I'll tell ya.

:55:00
And the less I know,
the better off I'll be.

:55:04
It has not affected me a whole lot.
:55:06
I mean, the American--
The way of life is still here.

:55:09
And if you work for it,
it's there for you.

:55:12
We're taught that we're
to obey our government,

:55:16
and I would have to go
if I was instructed to.

:55:19
Once in a while,
I think about it,

:55:21
but I like to think about the things
that are happening right now to me.

:55:24
I don't it's affected mine at all.
:55:27
I don't even know who we're fighting for
over there, to be real honest with you.

:55:31
I think we're fighting
for the North Vietnamese, ain't we?

:55:36
[Speaking Vietnamese]
:55:39
[Translator] I fled from Dau Tien
to go live in Suoi Dua.

:55:45
Then I was allowed to go back,
and I went back...

:55:48
and stayed in Ben Chua.
:55:52
While I was in Ben Chua,
trouble broke out again.

:55:56
So I was taken up to Co Tach.
