00:00I cannot think of a more cataclysmic event than the Vietnam War.

00:09The Vietnam War is a turning point in United States history.

00:15Vietnam is a hellhole, killing field, hamburger hill,

00:20Kherson, My Lai Mexico, POWs, Viet Cong.

00:28Everything happened in Vietnam.

00:32The story of the United States in Vietnam was a story of ignorance, hubris, arrogance.

00:38It tended to be evil, but I don't think it was intended to be evil.

00:45We learned how big the gap was between what presidents were saying and what they believed.

00:51We've got fighting about the train three years ago.

00:59I think they were sincere in what they were doing.

01:02The problem is they didn't know what they were doing.

01:05Our method of operation was called search and destroy.

01:09You just hunt for people and you kill them.

01:11You pull the trigger, you can't take the bullet back.

01:14And it changes you.

01:18It was kill or be killed.

01:20They had to live the nightmares.

01:23I wasn't the same person anymore.

01:25Those are the memories that stay with me.

01:29For Vietnamese people, the events that took place were life-defining.

01:34The anger was severe, strong, boiling, boiling.

01:47This is a television war.

01:50Seeing the graphic images marked a turning point in the American conscience.

01:56One of the major roles of the press is hold power accountable.

02:00You realize that our heroes are just liars.

02:04Many of the things that plague our society today have their roots in the Vietnam era.

02:10Our image of ourselves as the last best hope on earth was shaken.

02:16We were playing God.

02:18We've lost our moral compass.

02:20And we haven't recovered.

02:21We can't forget Vietnam.

02:24It's with us today.

02:26God bless you.

02:28God bless you.

02:38God bless you.
