:31:01
the next question for us is
where to build our factory.
:31:05
How about Fantasyland?
:31:11
My first class.
I did good, huh?
:31:14
You better cool it
with Dr. Barbay.
:31:16
Dr. Barbay, he don't know dick.
:31:18
He really tells it
like it ain't.
:31:20
Know what he knows how to do?
Flunk you.
:31:23
Flunk me? Flunk him.
:31:25
Great attitude. Do you know
where your next class is?
:31:28
Contemporary American history.
Professor Turgeson.
:31:31
- Turgeson?
- You know him? Is he good?
:31:33
Well, he's really committed.
:31:36
In fact, I think he was.
Just keep your head down...
:31:38
and your mouth shut.
You should be all right.
:31:40
- I'll see you in English.
- All right.
:31:41
Welcome to Contemporary
American history.
:31:45
I'm Professor Turgeson.
:31:47
I know a lot of people
think history is just facts...
:31:50
just information about the past,
but not me.
:31:54
I hold history
very sacred. Sacred.
:31:57
The way a farmer looks at
the Earth and holds it sacred.
:32:00
The way a Christian
takes the Bible...
:32:02
and he holds it sacred.
:32:03
The way a lot of people
hold their marriage sacred.
:32:06
That's how I feel about it.
So why don't we dive right in...
:32:08
by interpreting
one of the easiest events...
:32:11
in the last twenty years
of American history.
:32:14
Now, can someone tell me...
:32:17
why, in 1975, we pulled
our troops out of Vietnam?
:32:23
The failure of Vietnamization
to win popular support...
:32:26
caused an ongoing erosion
of confidence...
:32:28
in the various American...
but illegal... Saigon regimes.
:32:35
Is she right?
:32:39
'Cause I know
that's the popular version...
:32:40
of what went on there.
:32:42
I know a lot of people
like to believe that.
:32:44
I wish I could,
but I was there.
:32:46
I wasn't here in a classroom...
:32:47
hoping I was right,
thinking about it.
:32:49
I was up to my knees
in rice paddies...
:32:52
with guns that didn't work,
going up against Charlie...
:32:54
slugging it out with him,
while pussies like you...
:32:57
were back here partyin',
puttin' headbands on...
