My Tour of Duty, Interview & 'Soundtrack'

ok, thx

Indeed, in most WWII movies and docus in and around the Pacific the Marines are the ones shown so the viewer starts thinking that they did it on their own.

Is it so then that a big part of the Marines is always 'on the road'?

What about the Gulf Wars? Since you stated that the speciality is amphibious landings....not much water in the desert 

and now a break for a zippy little tune, since there aren't very many questions coming in from the audience...

Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers (with Lyric)

thx for Quicksilver....didn't know them yet...

Did not know them yet, strangely familiar sounds, and (w/o any disrespect intended): Isn´t this a bit "Take 5", modernized (for that time frame), IMHO at least the base line is a clear copy?

I hold no animosity for the Vietnamese people. I have the utmost respect for the Warriors that we fought against, able and capable adversaries they were.



I feel the craziness comes from the lies that got us into it, much like the war in Irak.



After forty years of struggle, I am only now beginning to understand why I act and feel the way I do. Unlike today, they did not treat us for our psychic wounds, and did in fact forget and abandon us.



Yes, it is the soundtrack of my life as well as my tour.

Jody, reviweing the thread, the first (and I now see the second, fith, sixth, and seventh too) vid has been deleted "for viloating the terms of use", any chance you can get it from another - not supressed "on demand" (who demanded it?) - source (as I remember the pics but not the gist to find a copy)?

EDIT: Just on the first page, of 15 videos posted, only three can be viewed, the rest is supressed for being either "Sony: Prohibited to be displayed in your country"  or Google/Youtube: "Supressed on demand: Violating terms of use", definitely time to change video storage site...

It is a real pity, actually, these vids - for me at least - represent history, I somehow over time got the feeling there should be something like "Patrimonial protection" applied to such vids as it is now to buildings with "historical value" as a standard!? I am more and more feeling like living in the dark dictator times again! Any ideas on how to organize a motion for that on the net?!: "WE are THE PEOPLE!"

The third, fifth and 7th vid "...contains Sony content which you are not allowed to view in your country...." ?? WHAT? Can you repeat, plz, Mr. Sony? AFAIK my constituition allows me to view anything, care to be a bit more pricise?

I have been left open mouthed, just after reading 10 posts... Where are we going to, which world do we want to live in? Seriously??

First take: Read Koens post on "How to dl Utube vids" and save them on our machines, upload to WaT from there, not as glöeamy but will work...  Jody, I urge you to review the thread and go through the vids before more vanish, let´s deal with the legal issues later (I have got a Panama server we can use).

Rattler

Jody, I haven´t been on the thread for a long time also, but that is then presumably the good side of having girls on the site ?  

Here the how-to by Koen: http://www.warandtactics.com/smf/wat-board-technical-info/how-to-download-a-youtube-video/

If you have vids stored, let me know, I can (as TA) make sure we can view them on WaT.

Onwards !

(For us Leftist Germans this would be, with Berthold Brecht: "Vorwärts! ...und nicht vergessen, worin unsere Stärke besteht: Die Solidarität!)!", from 1931 (original recording). Traduction: "Onwards, and do never forget what makes us strong! Solidarity!").

Really, let´s give it to youtube, let us try and make them to revisit their standards!

Lyrics: Berthold Brecht (The Three Penny Opera: Mack the Knife), Music: Hanns Eisler ("Hangmen Also Die!", "Schweik in the Second World War")

A rough and bad translation by google, dont have the time to do it myself except the snippet below (3rd verse): http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.erinnerungsort.de%2Fsolidaritaetslied--28-22vorwaerts-und-nicht-vergessen-22-29-_193.html&sl=de&tl=en




EDIT: Changed Vid, now it is not from 1931... :(But, and that is the reason why I changed it, it includes some pictures of the genious Hanns Eisler, directing on the streets in Berlin this song for a demonstration of a lot of  -300.000- people that did not want Hitler to come - and failed miserably).

Yes, I have found many, but they keep getting shut down by You Tube, and they are for my Interview soundtrack so to put them on our channel would seem to defeat the purpose.

Very well, Then Koen needs to grab the ones that are still here, while I find replacements for those stolen from us.

Yes, they even played this one on AFVN radio (Armed Forces Vietnam)
