wrapping from the tooth brush.

Put the wrapping next

Now put general amount of

paste on the sterile bristles.

People you will brush your teeth

in rapid verital motion for one minute.

You may notice a granular taste.

That's pumice.

and allow the flouride to penetrate.

Gentlemen, in Vietnam, you will be

confronted by many organisms.

ln food, water, air...

Ringworm and Pataygo and Malaria,

ameobic dysentary and crotch rot.

lt has been found that proper dental hygene is important

component in maintaining of a healthy fighting man.

You f***ing, new guys will do

everything to prove me wrong.

You'll walk on trails, kickcans...sleep

on guard, smoke dope and diddely-bop...

through the bush like you were back

on the block.

On guard at night you'll write letters, play with your organ...

and think of your girl back home. Forget her.

Some hair head has her on her right now...

and is telling her to f*** for peace.

This is Han.

Those of you who are foolish will think

of him as...gook, slope, slant or dink.

He is your enemy.

He came over on the Chieu Hoi programme.

And he will go back there after he fattens on C-rations.

And he will be hunting your

young asss in the Ashau Valley.

Now forget about this Viet Cong sh*t.

hard core. NVA,north Vietnamese...

motivated, highly trained

and well equipped.

you will give him respect.

And refer to those little bastards

as the Nathanial Victor.

Alphabet.

Languilli.

Han is closing in on your position.

lt's night, look at me.

and your gonna save mine.

lt's night, it's raining.

While you're thinking about peace,

love and whether or not we should be in Vietnam.

Han is going to cut your f***ing throat. And your sleeping.

/No, Sergeant.

You've been humping the boonies for months.

Your turn to sleep, your allowed to sleep.

What do you think Han is going to do?

ls he going to wake up Alphabet and smile?

And talk about women?

Mister Nathanial Victor gets his

rocks off watching you die.

Some of you think you have problems

because your're against the war.

You demonstrated in school... you wear peace symbols on your steel.

And you have attitudes.

Chicago got the clap from my sister.

Mum drinks, Dad coughs blood.

and the draught ruined my chances

of being a brain surge on people.

You have no problem.

that he can't wear his jump boots.

You guys...don't know sh*t.

Commending General believes that

one of the most depressing problems

we face in Vietnam today

is Vineraal disease.

We have found the best way of contracting any one of

the nine known strands

of Syphilis, and or Gohnorrea is

to avoid contact with the indigenous.

Vietnamese female personnel.
