:01:00
- You'd go back?
- Yeah. I went over for a purpose, man.

:01:05
- What was your purpose?
- A lot of it was curiosity.

:01:08
- But another thing was...
- You can't be curious, man.

:01:12
I said that was just part of the reason.
The other was a moral obligation.

:01:17
I feel that anybody... Not for their country
or anything like that. For anybody.

:01:24
Nobody's got the right to tell anybody
what to do against their will.

:01:28
That's what I went over to fight for.
:01:30
Did you know that they ran the French
out of there after 20 years?

:01:35
Wait a minute. You said they're forcing...?
Shit! You call the draft not being forced?

:01:41
I ain't sayin' the draft in our country.
:01:43
I'm talking about another country that's
having something forced upon them.

:01:48
- Is it our duty to fight for somebody else?
- If you believe in it! If you believe in it.

:01:53
I can't see anybody saying that,
after coming back, they would go again.

:01:59
I just can't deal with that.
:02:01
Wait a minute. The reason I can see it
is that some of us, not all of us,

:02:06
some of us need to justify to ourselves
what the fuck we did there.

:02:11
If we come back and say what we did
was a waste, some of us can't live with it.

:02:16
- So they'd do it again?
- Man, they gotta keep...

:02:20
Inside they're lying to themselves
continuously saying

:02:23
"What I did was OK
because this is what I got from it, man."

:02:27
"I have to justify being paralysed, I have to
justify killing people, so I say it was OK."

:02:32
But how many guys
can make the reality and say

:02:35
"What I did was wrong
and all this other shit was wrong, man"

:02:40
and be able to live with themselves cos
they're crippled for the rest of their life?

:02:46
You don't know what's going on
:02:50
You been away for far too long
:02:53
You can't come back
and think you are still mine

:02:59
You're out of touch, my baby
