00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,120 one of the most controversial news reports 4 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,120 from the war in Vietnam on August 5th, 1965 5 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,520 CBS News morally

00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,800 was following US Marines through the village of Cam NE 10 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,620 as they torched houses 11 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,800 essentially leaving the villagers with nothing 12 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,920 we're on the outskirts of the village of Cam NE 13 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040 with elements of the 1st Battalion 14 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,340 9th Marines and we were walking into this village when 15 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,140 you can hear what happened 16 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,500 come let's move in with those other guys 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,540 this is what the war in Vietnam is all about 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,460 the old and the very young 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,000 the Marines are burned this old couple's cottage 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,860 because fire was coming from here 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,320 now you walk into the village 22 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,220 you see no young people at all 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,040 fire was coming from automatic light 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,720 automatic weapons 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520 fire was coming from all of these villages 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,780 it's not really one village it's a strain of huts 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,020 and the people that are left 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,980 come this way Khan 29 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,640 people that are left are like this woman here 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,660 the very old 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,480 been an action like this before Marie 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,380 no I haven't 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,900 not like this I have 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,580 did you uh 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,840 set fire to these houses here 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,760 no we're just off to left it when it was burning 37 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,880 were you getting fire from them 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,880 somewhat not too much 39 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,020 just a little sniper fire 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,120 it first appeared that the Marines had been sniped at 41 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,460 and that a few houses were made to pay 42 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280 shortly after an officer told me 43 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,440 he had orders to go in and level 44 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,520 the string of hamlets that surrounds 45 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,060 Camney village 46 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,520 and all around 47 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,420 the common petty field that feeds these hamlets 48 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,920 a ring of fire 150 homes were leveled 49 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,980 in retaliation for a burst of gunfire 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,420 in Vietnam like everywhere else in Asia property 51 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,660 a home is everything 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,060 a man lives with his family on ancestral land 53 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,340 his parents are buried nearby 54 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,860 their spirit is part of his holding 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720 if there were Viet Cong in the hamlets 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,300 they were long gone 57 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120 alerted by the roar of the amphibious tractors 58 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,320 and the heavy barrage of rocket fire 59 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,500 laid down before the troops moved in 60 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,580 the women and the old men who remained 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,700 will never forget that August afternoon 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,980 the day's operation burned down 150 houses 63 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,980 wounded three women killed one baby 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,620 wounded one Marine and netted these four prisoners 65 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,120 four old men 66 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,500 who could not answer questions put to them in English 67 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,380 four old men who had no idea what an ID card was 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,540 today's operation is the frustration of Vietnam 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,740 and miniature 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960 there is little doubt that American firepower can 71 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,020 win a military victory here 72 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,440 but to a Vietnamese peasant whose home is a let 73 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,020 means a lifetime of back breaking labor 74 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,080 it will take more than presidential promises 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,100 to convince him that we are on his side 76 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,660 morally safer CBS News near the village of Camney 77 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920 you can't tell the story of Vietnam without CBS News 78 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,120 that that footage 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,080 that filing from morally safer was just incredible 80 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,240 um in February 1968 81 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,320 Walter Kronkite would go on and deliver a CBS 82 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160 new special report essentially saying that he 83 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,840 in his opinion the war was unwinnable 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400 and Johnson said if I've lost Kronkite 85 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,720 I've lost America and 86 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,920 it would be another eight years 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800 before President Nixon would withdraw all US troops 88 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000 from Vietnam in 1973 89 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200 that report drew backlash from US citizens 90 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,760 because it was showing them a side of the war 91 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,020 they had never imagined 92 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,480 it said that President Johnson wanted to have 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760 morely safer censored after that report 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,320 but it was the truth it was the truth 95 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,000 it was absolutely 96 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,040 and 97 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,400 it was a scene that was also mortalized in the movie 98 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,280 Platoon 99 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:35,720 Oliver Stone served in Vietnam at around that time 100 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,600 and he the scene 101 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,620 just as you saw in Morley's report 102 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,260 was filmed almost 103 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,349 almost seen for scene in the movie platoon 7128
