:54:01
You can't stop me!
:54:02
You can't stop me!
:54:04
Why are you
here tonight?
:54:05
What do you
have to say?
:54:07
My name's Ron Kovic.
:54:09
I'm a Vietnam veteran.
:54:10
I'm here to say
this war is wrong,
:54:13
that this society lied
to me and my brothers...
:54:16
Why don't you
shut up?
:54:18
It deceived the people
in this country.
:54:20
It tricked them
into going 13,000 miles
:54:24
to fight a war against
a poor peasant people
:54:28
who have a proud history
of resistance,
:54:31
who have been struggling
for their own independence
:54:34
for 1,000 years--
the Vietnamese people.
:54:37
I can't-- I can't find
the words to express
:54:41
how the leadership
of this government sickens me.
:54:43
Now, people say...
:54:46
people say if you
don't love America,
:54:49
then get the hell out.
:54:51
Well, I love America,
:54:52
but when it comes
to the government,
:54:55
it stops right there.
:54:56
The government is
a bunch of corrupt thieves.
:54:59
They are rapists
and robbers.
:55:01
We are here to say
:55:02
we don't
have to take it any more.
:55:04
We are here
to tell the truth.
:55:07
They're killing
our brothers in Vietnam.
:55:09
We want them
to hear the truth.
:55:11
Traitor!
:55:12
What are you,
a communist?
:55:16
Is this what we get,
:55:18
spit in the face?
:55:21
Is this what we get?
:55:23
Is this what we get, sir?
Spit in the face?
:55:26
We're never going
to let the people
:55:28
forget that war!
:55:30
Four more years!
:55:32
You're not sweeping it
under the rug
:55:34
because you didn't
like the ratings.
:55:37
This wheelchair,
:55:38
our wheelchairs,
:55:38
this steel, our steel
:55:40
is your Memorial Day
on wheels.
:55:42
We're your Yankee
Doodle Dandy come home.
:55:44
We're your
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
:55:46
Let's reject any philosophy
:55:47
that would make us
a divided people of America.
:55:50
Stop the bombing!
:55:51
Stop the war!
:55:52
Stop the bombing!
:55:53
Stop the war!
