The Vietnam War English Subtitles

1
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:55,889
Coming home from Vietnam

2
00:00:56,014 --> 00:00:59,814
was close to as traumatic
as the war itself.

3
00:01:01,687 --> 00:01:04,657
For years, nobody talked
about Vietnam.

4
00:01:07,818 --> 00:01:09,320
We were friends
with a young couple

5
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:14,083
and it was only after 12 years
that the two wives were talking.

6
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:17,544
Found out that we both had been
Marines in Vietnam.

7
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:20,164
Never said a word about it.

8
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,962
Never mentioned it.

9
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,130
And the whole country

1
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:24,821
I was assigned a listening
post at Con Thien in the fall.

2
00:00:24,942 --> 00:00:28,867
That was like getting
a death sentence at a trial.

3
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:31,285
Because that's just three
Marines out there with a radio.

4
00:00:32,783 --> 00:00:34,410
And that's the scariest thing
I did.

5
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:37,209
You're listening for the enemy.

6
00:00:37,329 --> 00:00:40,333
They call you on the radio
every hour,

7
00:00:40,457 --> 00:00:41,800
"Delta, Lima, Papa,
Three, Bravo,

8
00:00:41,917 --> 00:00:45,262
"Delta, Lima, Papa, Three,
Bravo, this is Delta Three.

9

1
00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:21,943
# Oh, my name, it is nothin' #

2
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:24,417
Well, I wanted
to name him after his clad,

3
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:27,240
Denton Winslow Crocker.

4
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:30,991
So that was the name we chose.

5
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:33,367
He was a colicky little baby.

6
00:00:33,492 --> 00:00:37,372
And, uh, so we were up
night and day with him.

7
00:00:37,496 --> 00:00:40,750
And my husband was
a wonderful dad

8
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:43,093
and very loving and attentive.

9
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,053
He'd walk the floor with him.

10

1
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:22,736
Sometimes I would
hear a car crunch up in the snow,

2
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:25,154
and I'd think maybe it
would be somebody coming

3
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:26,743
to give us bad news.

4
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,784
Which was not
good for me to think.

5
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:31,782
It was an underlying anxiety

6
00:00:31,907 --> 00:00:34,786
that I really think was
there all the time.

7
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:39,335
All his young
life, Denton Crocker, Jr.-

8
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,629
known as "Mogie" to his family...

9
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:43,840
had dreamed of serving

1
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:19,694
Soldiers adapt.

2
00:00:19,811 --> 00:00:21,859
You go over there
with one mindset, you know,

3
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:23,402
and then you adapt.

4
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:25,492
You adapt to the atrocities
of war.

5
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:27,077
You adapt to...

6
00:00:29,446 --> 00:00:33,622
...killing and dying, you know.

7
00:00:33,784 --> 00:00:35,627
After a while
it doesn't bother you.

8
00:00:38,455 --> 00:00:40,375
Well, I should say it doesn't
bother you as much.

9
00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:45,337
When I first arrived in Vietnam,
there were some...

1
00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:10,945
This is 2-3 arriving.

2
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:13,267
We have them in sight and
we're engaging at present time.

3
00:00:13,388 --> 00:00:14,514
Rogen.

4
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:22,735
Helicopters
are phenomenal machines.

5
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:25,200
You could float in the air.

6
00:00:25,317 --> 00:00:26,864
You can be like God.

7
00:00:34,117 --> 00:00:36,916
I flew below 500 feet.

8
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:40,041
Above 500 feet was a kill zone.

9
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:44,887
You better be below 200 feet,
the lower the better.

10

1
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:26,369
# Catch a boat to England, baby,
maybe to Spain #

2
00:00:26,485 --> 00:00:28,613
# Wherever I have gone #

3
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:32,116
# Wherever I've been and gone #

4
00:00:32,241 --> 00:00:36,371
# Wherever I have gone
the blues run the game. #

5
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:41,713
I grew up in
a small farming community

6
00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:45,303
in southern Minnesota
called Worthington.

7
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:48,173
Small town America...
at least my small town...

8
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:50,676
had great virtues.

9
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:52,303
It was a safe place to grow up.

1
00:00:06,548 --> 00:00:08,846
...you got through!
Did you pass Chee on the road?

2
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:10,310
No.
Where are the children?

3
00:00:10,427 --> 00:00:12,020
Kansas found a shelter for them.

4
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:13,855
Get down, everybody!

5
00:00:16,892 --> 00:00:19,645
My older sister and I one time

6
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:23,820
uh, we're watching the movie
So Proudly We Hail on TV.

7
00:00:23,941 --> 00:00:25,341
Listen, we still have
a few minutes!

8
00:00:25,442 --> 00:00:27,194
That's a story about the nurses

9
00:00:27,319 --> 00:00:32,120
who were trapped on Bataan and
Corregidor during World War II.

1
00:00:02,586 --> 00:00:04,930
No more war! No more war!

2
00:00:05,047 --> 00:00:08,597
No more war!
No more war!

3
00:00:08,717 --> 00:00:10,264
No more war! No more war!

4
00:00:11,803 --> 00:00:15,103
No more war! No more war!

5
00:00:15,224 --> 00:00:17,943
No more war!
No more war!

6
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:19,193
No more war!

7
00:00:19,311 --> 00:00:22,861
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

8
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:26,110
# Love is but a song to sing #

9
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:29,830
# Fear's the way we die #

10
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:37,997

1
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,068
They shared
the weight of memory.

2
00:00:27,611 --> 00:00:31,457
They took up what others
could no longer bear.

3
00:00:33,784 --> 00:00:38,961
Often, they carried each other,
the wounded or weak.

4
00:00:39,081 --> 00:00:40,628
They carried infections.

5
00:00:40,791 --> 00:00:42,919
They carried chess sets,
basketballs,

6
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,137
Vietnamese-English dictionaries,

7
00:00:45,295 --> 00:00:48,799
insignia of rank,
Bronze Stars, and Purple Hearts,

8
00:00:48,966 --> 00:00:52,971
plastic cards imprinted
with the Code of Conduct.

9
00:00:55,806 --> 00:00:59,606
