00:03:13Couldn't abandon my buddy
00:03:15Not to mention if someone's gonna pull off a stunt like this and live to tell about it

00:03:38One day at a time that's how you survive
00:03:43So many nights sitting ambushed not knowing who's gonna come bursting out of those trees not knowing if it's gonna be your last
00:03:53Man if I would have known that it was gonna end up like this
00:03:58You're in the clouds with two of the loveliest angels. I've ever laid eyes on

00:04:34I was just looking out for my buddy here thought he might appreciate me fixing us up with a couple of stewardesses
00:04:38It's my pleasure. Really. I know she got scared
00:04:41Blonde or the brunette
00:04:45Jane
00:04:48It was easier for her to break things off than it was to worry about whether or not I was gonna come back alive
00:04:54And once I show her that I'm fine
00:04:56That nothing's gonna happen to me over there
00:04:59She'll come around. I've joined her. I just want you to be prepared
00:05:02We promised each other that we wouldn't get officially engaged until I got back. You know, we didn't want to jinx anything
00:05:08But
00:05:11I'm thinking maybe she needs that
00:05:14Something to hang on to to help her get through it alone

00:08:53Hi there, probably first-class Mickey ride my buddy Dalton joiner and my lovely lady. Are you I?
00:09:00Am Candace. It's a pleasure to meet you private
00:09:06Private joiner is back from Vietnam to see Juniper or Jane depending on who you're asking
00:09:15Juniper
00:09:18Someplace else you two should be like in the sack. I cannot believe that Juniper has a boyfriend
00:09:25Vietnam
00:09:30Let me guess you see a couple army guys in uniform and you think we're the enemy or something, am I right?
00:09:35No, no, no, not at all. We know you guys have been deceived by
00:09:39Nixon Kissinger Westmoreland just like the rest of America. It's not your fault that you're uneducated
00:09:46Excuse me
00:09:48unenlightened unenlightened
00:09:50I'm sorry, but unless you've been there. I don't think you have any idea what the war is about. It's okay a joiner in me
00:09:57We've been there
00:09:58Six long goddamn months. We know the war is bullshit. Okay?
00:10:02Now maybe we were sold a bill of goods or maybe we're just old-fashioned
00:10:05But we actually believed that going to Nam was the right thing to do
00:10:09Now joiner here volunteered. Listen, nobody's blaming you maybe so but you need to respect what that man did
00:10:16He had the courage to see with his own eyes that what we were told was a load of crap a bunch of lies
00:10:21So, what did he do?
00:10:23He stood up and walked out
00:10:25Just like that
00:10:27So go ahead call me uneducated
00:10:29Unenlightened if you want, but I'll tell you I'm damn proud to say I followed that man into battle. I followed him home
00:10:36protest
00:10:43Why don't you tell me
00:10:57Oh
00:11:06Joiner this was a good idea crazy. Oh
00:11:10Horse piss. Hey, did you check out that candy girl deserters?
00:11:14And what the hell are you thinking? Relax, man? You're a hero
00:11:17Now all you got to do is march up those stairs and get like if this gets out they'll hang on asses
00:11:22I think it's a firing squad. Hey, I'm not shit. It's bad enough that we're a wall
00:11:26Forget about what I said, you said that we're deserters and we're not talking a couple of days in the brig here
00:11:30We're talking big-time court-martial who's gonna know
00:11:34We're back in a few days. Besides we're among friends
00:11:37We're heroes, man
00:11:40Do you ever stop to think before you just let your bullshit fly?
00:11:44No, not really
00:11:47Listen soldier, it's got 72 hours to screw your brains out dismissed get up there
00:11:55Oh

00:12:45The loveliest angel I've ever laid eyes on the cut and run a long time ago
00:13:02Did you say the loveliest angel
00:13:08Okay
00:13:11Help me I was just joking
00:13:21How's it going

00:13:35So, what's with this juniper thing?
00:13:44It's just a name

00:14:06It's okay, you don't have to be scared
00:14:25Hey
00:14:27I'm sorry. I
00:14:29Did not mean to scare you
00:14:31It's reading one of your articles
00:14:34It's pretty good
00:14:36Well, thank you. Oh
00:14:39No, I don't drink actually really yeah here I thought all journalists were drunks I
00:14:50Want you to know that I think what you guys did was incredible
00:14:55Will you tell me how you pulled it off
00:15:00Walked you walked
00:15:04You
00:15:07We're on recon just me and join her up by the Laotian border and
00:15:13We got to talking about the war what it meant what it didn't
00:15:19And join her says what if we turned up MIA
00:15:23See I'm the radio guy so I
00:15:25Call in some phony positions tell him rotten heavy on the trail of the bad guys. Is that what you call the Vietnamese people?
00:15:33That's why I call anybody who's trying to kill me
00:15:37Very nice
00:15:40Then we just stopped calling it complete radio silence
00:15:46Turns out leaving was the easy part getting back home. That was another story
00:16:04Oh
00:16:09It's Juniper
00:16:13So when we get to Thailand we trade our m16s for cash and bribe this Eurasian pilot to haul us up to Singapore
00:16:19Turns out he's actually a pretty cool guy smuggling us up to Toronto. And I mean from there it was a piece of cake
00:16:25That is so cool
00:16:27So, how come you guys are still wearing the uniforms?
00:16:31Joiner didn't want to scare Jane
00:16:41Look yeah Peter and I yeah, I know I get it
00:16:47We want to do a cover story on you guys for our next issue
00:16:51Shoot me down isn't enough now. You want to send me in front of a firing squad? Listen, I promise we won't use any real names
00:16:59And it won't run until you're gone
00:17:02We just want a story on what it's really like over there
00:17:06You know the truth
00:17:11Just sleep on it, okay

00:19:55Wish President Kennedy was still alive so he could see his dream come true
00:20:00I
00:20:01Actually got a letter back from him and written
00:20:05He thanked me but said since I was only 14, I couldn't join the Peace Corps yet
00:20:11Wow when I was 14, I was just trying to figure out how to get laid
00:20:18I said that
00:20:22So, did you figure that out eventually
00:20:30Take it they don't feed you so well over there you ever had a sea rat
00:20:36No, I don't I don't usually eat rats
00:20:41So you don't drink you don't get high and you don't eat rats
00:20:45You're not very much fun. Are you no, I guess not
00:20:49Sea rat is army food. You haven't lived unless you've had the ham and lima beans
00:20:54Yeah, it sounds delicious
00:20:57Hmm, so why don't you join the Peace Corps when you got older?
00:21:01Well, there are more important problems back home your parents
00:21:06Vietnam I went to work on Bobby Kennedy's campaign. I
00:21:12Think if they hadn't have shot him to the war would be over by now. I don't know
00:21:18What makes you say that? I?
00:21:21Mean it's just hard to imagine anyone could stop this thing on a dime
00:21:25Well, it's hard to imagine they're going to the moon, but they are
00:21:29Thank you, you sure you don't want anything? Oh, no, I am getting sick just watching him

00:24:26Well, everybody's looking up at the moon ain't nobody looking down at the truth, huh?
00:24:34Apollo 11
00:24:36It's all one big distraction
00:24:38It's a circus a circus set up by the military industrial complex to take our minds off the killing in Vietnam
00:24:48Send old Walter Cronkite and the rest of those media ringmasters on down to Houston and who cares about counting the dead this week
00:24:55It's our God
00:24:58Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
00:25:01Who the hell are they?
00:25:03Who the hell are they but a couple of clowns in this billion-dollar circus wake up
00:25:09You want to talk about real heroes?
00:25:12I'm talking about brothers who risk their lives for something they believe in
00:25:17Look no further. We got real heroes right here. That's right. I'm talking about two
00:25:24American soldiers who woke up one morning in Vietnam and decided enough was enough
00:25:30To American soldiers who had the heart and the guts and the conviction to say
00:25:36Hell no, we won't stay
00:25:40What did they say we won't say what did they say?
00:25:44What did they say?

00:28:16You know
00:28:17Sometimes things have to get ugly before they get better
00:28:19Please watch the kids run around throwing stuff because they have nothing better to do on a summer night
00:28:24Which is exactly why our best weapon is the truth
00:28:27Guys like you can make a difference
00:28:30Listen to me your story will open people's eyes to what's really going down in that jungle over there
00:28:35Okay, first of all, I never saw any goddamn jungle
00:28:38It's just rice paddies and forests and trails walking in circles all day every day
00:28:43Second of all, I hate to break to you pal, but you're not gonna stop the war with your little newspaper
00:28:52Isaac will you help me out here?

00:55:32Come on, man. You were there
00:55:35When they dragged in that kid from Tennessee all blown to shit
00:55:38You knew I knew everybody knew that this war was about one thing
00:55:43Staying alive and from that moment forward. The only way I knew how to do that was to stop
00:55:47You know, I've got to stay up on night watch got to double-check the hut for VC she's counting on me

00:56:52You made a commitment not to win in the war but to the squad
00:56:55We're counting on our point man to lead us home alive. Why the hell do you think I got on that plane?

00:58:26We had this guy in our squad named Burns
00:58:32Me and Jonah were hung out to dry not a chance in hell of making out alive
00:58:41Until Burns Ian the guys risked their lives to save us
00:58:50Truth is I won't even be here if it wasn't for him
00:58:56The burns got shot up

01:11:13Private joiner and I have been trying to remember where his buddy was all day in that right joiner. Now, is that him?
01:11:22Yep
01:11:27We got him back in his uniform

01:13:53Wouldn't be any good to the squad
01:14:01I'll apologize. Not you, man
01:14:05All those days walking point
01:14:08You punched your ticket
01:14:14Where are you going?
01:14:16I don't know
01:14:18Now we were thinking Toronto, maybe Montreal we
01:14:24Isaac got his draft notice
01:14:28Dodger and the deserter
01:14:31Damn I want to hear all about that when I get back
01:14:35Oh
01:14:52You better run
01:15:05Hey, soldier.
01:15:10Where's Joyner?
01:15:15He's, uh...
01:15:20He's not coming back.
01:15:25What are you talking about?
01:15:30Some way he can walk point without Jane.
01:15:33She's the only thing that got him through.
01:15:37I mean, she got us all through.
01:15:40No.
01:15:42No.
01:15:44Mickey, please don't go.
01:15:46What?
01:15:47No.
01:15:49All I know is if I walk away from the guys now,
01:15:52I won't be worth a damn to you or anybody else.
01:15:57I'll just keep walking.
01:15:59I'll go to Canada with you, Mickey.
01:16:01No, no.
01:16:03I'm not gonna do that to you.
01:16:07You stay here.
01:16:09You end this war.
01:16:12That's what you signed on for.
01:16:15Attention, all passengers.
01:16:17Final call, flight 56,
01:16:19for San Francisco and Honolulu.
01:16:25I love you.
01:16:55Hey, there.
01:16:57It's nice to see you again.
01:17:00Yeah, you too.
01:17:06So, can I get you something to drink?
01:17:09No, I'm fine.
01:17:10Thank you.
01:17:14You know, maybe if you look hard enough,
01:17:17you can see the astronauts coming home.
01:17:33Dear Mickey,
01:17:36Topher just called to tell me you're free.
01:17:40I'm riding this in the cab on the way to the airport
01:17:44in case I miss you.
01:17:47The truth is, I miss you already.
01:17:52I think I understand now why Juniper never told us
01:17:55about her boyfriend in Vietnam.
01:17:58Because people like me would have given her a hard time.
01:18:03It's funny.
01:18:05I guess I was the one who needed to be enlightened.
01:18:10In our rage to stop this evil war,
01:18:14I think we've forgotten our boys over there
01:18:16aren't the bad guys.
01:18:18They're just trying to survive.
01:18:21Guys like Joiner, who risked their lives with every step.
01:18:26And guys like Burns,
01:18:27who sacrificed their lives to save their friends.
01:18:32I wish I could have met him
01:18:33so I could thank him for saving you from me.
01:18:40And now you're going back to pick up your radio.
01:18:44Well, I hope you hear this message loud and clear.
01:18:50In appealing yellow Victorian on forest,
01:18:54there's a lucky charm girl waiting for you to come home.
01:19:00Love, Candace.
01:19:18Well?
01:19:22What?
01:19:23Come on, all right.
01:19:25Don't mess around with us.
01:19:26I mean, where is he?
01:19:27Where'd you guys go?
01:19:32To the moon.
01:19:47Dear Candace,
01:19:50Here I am back with the guys.
01:19:53No longer walking in circles.
01:19:56Now, with every step I take,
01:20:00I'm one step closer to you.
