Hearts and Minds Page #2

and-and learned how Karl Marx

was a very cruel man...

and used to, uh, make his

family suffer and so forth.

Uh, so when I got out of high school,

I thought basically that, um,

Teddy Roosevelt's

what this country needed,

and F.D.R. had kind of sold us

down the drain to the commies.

The communist conspiracy is a deliberate

and predictable plan of action...

to subvert the world.

Mosinee, Wisconsin,

in a unique Mayday object lesson,

shows what could happen here

if communism took over.

The unyielding chief of police is

liquidated by American Legionnaires...

portraying Red trigger men.

A grim demonstration of

what subversion could lead to,

Mosinee's Mayday serves as a sharp

warning to all democratic communities.

It's an international,

criminal conspiracy.

Before we know it, we're gonna

turn our backs around someday,

the whole United States, we're gonna

turn around and see nothing but V. C...

or not V.C., but communism... we're gonna

turn around and say, "What happened?"

People just walking in

with riots, drugs, you name it.

They're tearing us down

from the inside out.

In 1917, when the communists

overthrew the Russian government,

there was 1 communist

for every 2,277 persons...

in Russia.

In the United States today,

there is one communist...

for every 1,814 persons

in this country.

If we lose Indochina, Mr. Jenkins,

we will lose the Pacific,

and we'll be an island

in a communist sea.

- Go ahead, how does it go?

- Oh, mother.

I swear that I am not now...

or ever have been a member

of the communist party.

Feel better?

Of course, when it gets down

to communism, uh,

I've been fighting communism

since 1951, actually.

I was looked at, you know, the American

fighting man, as being, uh, you know,

like a warrior of sorts,

you know, due to my background,

the way my mother brought me up.

She always spoke of the warrior

societies of our tribe...

and of the different tribes around

us and how that these men...

always had to work to gain the

respect of the people around them...

and how they had to live, uh,

more or less a life dictated to them...

by the society that they belonged

to, and it was extremely hard.

I-I looked around and from listening to

my uncles and a lot of my relations...

they had been in the Marine Corps...

and they always told me that...

the Marine Corps was the hardest service

to cope with physically and mentally.

And I naturally wanted to be

the best at that time,

and I looked at the Marine Corps

as being the elite of the elite,

the warrior society

in the United States.

Now it might sound

clich-ish to say that,

"My country, may it always be right,

but right or wrong, my country."
