And he told me to take it off.
And of course, I didn't agree.
I didn't want to take it off.
I didn't feel I should. But he told me, "Why do you accept gifts
from the same people that go out and put mines in the roads, and blow up
your buddies.?"
And he told me if I didn't take it off,
he'd go to more drastic measures. I don't know, he just dismissed
me.
But I don't know. I don't want to
give any blood stories or nothing. I just can't do it. I
want you to know that the people over there aren't really being treated
as human beings. They're being treated as slaves, let's say.
Maybe not even slaves. I don't know. I just don't know what
to say. I just want you to know about it.
STEVE: I'd just sort of like to
add one more thing.
I'd say the government and a lot
of people who sort of run this nation have been telling a lot of GI's
that the biggest detriment to our morale has been the long-haired,
protesting, pinko-sympathizer type.
But I think the biggest lift for my
morale came when I was lying in Okinawa in the hospital there and a girl
wrote me about a place called Woodstock where 500,000 people had come
together, and it was so beautiful that was the first time I smiled in a
long time.
