13 Moons Over Vietnam: 12th Moon ~ Volatile

Military Police are typically hard-core and very disciplined. However, after nearly a year in Vietnam, even the most dedicated began to show signs of wavering. Follow one soldier's experience down the rabbit hole of war.

Another argument over the war. We see more conflict in the hooch lately than outside the wire.

“I’m with Luke,” Sergeant Kaminsky declared.

John insisted, “This isn’t your fight.”

The Sergeant stepped closer. “People like you are undermining our government.”

“I don’t believe that ‘my country right or wrong’ crap!” Tucker scoffed.

“Anybody in uniform who doesn’t support this war is a traitor. You’re worse than those anti-war assholes back home,” the Sergeant countered.

“It’s a free country. I have the right to free speech."

“You don’t have any rights. You follow orders – period!” the Sergeant bellowed.

“You’re lucky that bullshit letter from the commie-loving Senator hasn’t been ripped up, Ben,” Luke interjected.

Ben cringed. “That's private. It’s inside my footlocker.”

Sergeant Kaminski pointed. “THAT isn’t private property. It belongs to the U.S. Government.”

“Well, I still have the right to my opinion.”

"Only if you keep it to yourself. We don’t want to hear it!”
