I shared a glimpse into everyday life in the United States across different decades. In 1954, a family in Detroit thrived on a factory worker's wages. A housewife in 1947 managed a week's groceries for $12.50. During the 1940s polio outbreak, kids learned via radio. The 1910s saw low literacy rates, while 1955 gasoline prices were notably low. I highlighted a protest against a high school dress code in 1940, a mother with her WWII veteran sons, a 1966 Friday night, a 1964 family road trip, a young woman with a moose in 1952, Times Square in 1957, and Kmart employees watching the moon landing in 1969.

@Morbidful Interview with a Vietnam War veteran https://t.co/XjvDnoKCjy

Video Transcript AI Summary

I was upset when a friend of mine was killed, so I asked a Vietnamese person for his ID card. When he didn't understand me, I got angry and killed him. I didn't feel bothered by it at all. I reported it as one VC killed, and they asked how I knew he was a VC. I replied that he was dead, and they laughed. In Vietnam, we had to report every kill and search the bodies for papers. The body count was important, even if we didn't actually see any enemies. The high command would exaggerate the numbers to make it seem like we were successful, but in reality, many of us were killed for nothing.

Speaker 0: Another time I had a a friend of mine killed, and I was very upset. And I asked this Vietnamese for his ID card, and he said, and that means I don't understand in Vietnamese, and just pissed me off. So I pulled out my knife and I killed him. And, it didn't bother me at all. I just called I said, 1 VC killed. And they said, how do you know he's a VC? And I said, because he's dead. And they laughed and said, okay. You know? And I'd come in and people would ask me what's going on out in the front, and I tell them. And, they keep it short for how many kills you have, and I come in and they show me how many I have. And what it is every time you kill someone, you have to report it. And, you have to search them for papers and stuff, but, this is something else body count. If 10 of us would go out, and I'd come back with only 5 men, we'd lost half our men. And you couldn't say that you didn't see any enemy. So you could have only killed 1 enemy, and by the time it would get up to the high command, you know, you killed 50 of them because they couldn't say that they they lost 5 men taking 1 so the body counts a bunch of shit you know what they say and what they get is different things like you'd read the newspaper on Operation Medina, 200 of us went out and about 47 of us made it back and they just ambushed us and wiped the hell out of us and I didn't I didn't see any goo expand. They were sitting in the trees dropping grenades on us and they had machine guns on the front and the side and the newspaper said we had all these kills, you know, I didn't know what the hell were talking about I never saw any kills but they just didn't want like to admit that all those men get killed for nothing.
