Happy Memorial Day, America! (Winter Soldier 1972 (Full))

Winter Soldier is a 1972 documentary about soldiers back from Vietnam that witnessed war atrocities and crimes.  The full version (1:35:33) is a powerful indictment against war. This film was available through You-Tube until July 1, 2013, but was pulled by Milestone Film & Video on a copyright claim.

Mr. Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wrote the following song about Mr. Scott Camil of the 1st Marine Division:

Camil  

Oh! Camil, tell me what did your mother say
when you left those people out in the fields
rotting along the hay?
Did you show her your medals?
Did you show her your guns?
Did you show her the ears that you wore?
Did you show her a picture of the people you killed
not for God, but for country and war?

Oh! Camil, tell me why are you in this place?
When you stood up for justice, your country replied
by throwing it back in your face.
When you tell me your story,
are you making amends
for all of the hatred you saw?
Will you tell all the people about the people that cry
out for God, not for country or war?
