I had a mother I had a father, things - things that made sense.It's my leg! I want my leg, you understand? Can't you understand that? All's I'm sayin' is that I want to be treated like a human being! I fought for my country! I am a Vietnam veteran! I fought for my country!.People say that if you don't love America, then get the hell out.We are here to say that we are here to tell the truth they are killing our brothers in Vietnam! We want them to hear the truth tonight! And we are here to say that we don't have to take it anymore. The government is a bunch of corrupt thieves, they are rapists and robbers. We love the people of America very much, but when it comes to the government, it stops right there. People say that if you don't love America, then get the hell out. I can't find the words to express, and the leadership of this government sickens me. They've deceived the people of this country, tricked them into going 13,000 miles to fight a war against a poor, peasant people who have a proud history of resistance, who have been struggling for their own independence for 1,000 years - the Vietnamese people. I'm here tonight to say that this war is wrong, that this society lied to me, lied to my brothers.I wanna be a man again.I just wanna be a man again. I wanna get out of this fucking body I'm in. I wanna stand up in the shower with the hot water streaming down my legs, in the morning.

I wanna run along the sand and feel it on my feet. I wanna walk in the backyard on the grass.
