When the Viet Cong first arrived
that rainy season...
:06:16
...some of them were remnants
from the war against the French.
:06:20
Many of them were displaced immigrants
from the North.
:06:23
All of them were angry.
:06:42
My parents taught me Vietnam is...
:06:47
...a free nation.
:06:49
That is what this war is about.
:06:51
The Chinese, the Japanese, the French,
have each tried to rule us.
:06:55
And we have won!
:06:57
The North and the South are inseparable,
like sisters.
:07:00
But in 1954...
:07:02
...the French and American allies
separated us and kidnapped the South.
:07:09
Can we stand by
and watch the kidnappers...
:07:11
...taking turns raping
and corrupting our sister!
:07:15
That's what this war's about.
:07:20
Why should outsiders come in...
:07:21
...divide the land and tell people
to go north and then go south?
:07:24
Why?
:07:26
If Vietnam were truly
for the Vietnamese people...
:07:28
...we would be able to choose
the kind of government we want.
:07:31
A nation can't have two governments any
more than a family can have two fathers.
:07:36
-They have bombs, ten men for one of us!
-He's right.
:07:40
What do we have?
:07:42
We have rags! We have rifles!
:07:45
And sticks! We have sticks!
:07:48
We have no rank, no promotion.
:07:52
We take no money.
:07:56
We are your servants.
:07:58
We respect your homes and shrines.
