4'hursday, January 21, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 114. ir, dloI, JanuaryI 21 17 TH MI-iA DAL rage mine Against Ihe Wall Doughty and Taylor.. , *a revelation in Vietnam By JOHN PAPANEK (First of two parts.) you've all seen the deal on TV. Bob Hope, in his plaster face, up on the stage at some base in Vietnam delivering his stale monologue. One by one they come out: a beautiful white girl for the white boys, a beautiful black girl for the black boys, some dumb sports hero for all the boys. Each one flawlessly recites the hilarious onefiliners written for him or her by Hope's writers. Then comes the clincher: A long, slow pan of the audience. Yes, there they are, all thse American men-children, robbed from their cradles to face the cruelty of war. "Let's all stand behind these boys," says Bob, "They're doing a great job." Then there was another trip to Vietnan. Sponsored by the NCAA, Michigan's two All-America football candidates Bill Taylor and Glenn Doughty made the trip this past Christmas. But somehow they missed all those smiling faces, and they didn't hear very many men saying "Gee, sir, as long as America cares, I'll do my duty." What they did find was man after man quite plainly want- % ing "to get the hell out of here as soon as possible." "The trip was really an education," Doughty explains. "Just seeing the living conditions of the people and the soldiers first hand is incredible. The physical scenery of the country is beau- tiful, but in the villages and cities there is nothing but filth and poverty.'!'" The! trip was classified a "handshake tour", which meant ., simply that Doughty and Taylor would just go from base to base and talk to the soldiers about all sorts of things. "The fact that we were football players attracted the men to us," says Taylor, "But football is one of the things we talked least about. Every- body wanted to talk. They couldn't believe that we would take time off from our holidays to go over there." What did they talk about? "Man, they just want to get 4 home," Doughty moans. "You know, most of them don't even know why they are there. The war makes no sense to them. The officers can't tell them because they don't know anything either." "When we (U.S.) first went in there," Taylor adds, "It was a good thing. But we've done all we could and. there's no sense staying any longer." Doughty likes the current rate of troop withdrawal. "The U.S. has devoted so much money and men that to pull out at once would be an injustice to the guys that died over there. The pull out rate now is cool. Vietnamization seems to be working." One thing that appalled the duo was the contrasting living conditions of American soldiers. "We spent a lot of time talking to guys in the fire bases up near the DMZ," says Doughty. "These are the ones living in the mud, in constant fear of their lives. But then we went down south and the difference was un- believable. We got to one place on New Year's Eve, and there was this 60-foot swimming pool, with guys laying around it in shades with beautiful tans, and there were tennis courts. Man, this place looked like Miami Beach!" "Wherever we went," says Taylor, "Except for a few of the fire bases, we just found guys who had nothing to do. I just kept thinking how stupid it was for the U.S. to have guys over there just doing nothing. "Man, you should have seen these officers in the USO, where we were staying in Saigon. They were drunk every night. I don't know how they can run things over there." Another thing that Doughty and Taylor learned from their trip was the way news from Vietnam was shaped for the Ameri- can public. "I saw things over there that I had never even though about," Doughty says. "You know how they often report that some guy died of unknown causes? Well, one of those causes in a Hell's Angels type motorcycle group of South Vietnamese. While we were in Saigon for two days, they killed three Ameri- can soldiers. The U.S. government doesn't want to get involved, so they just say 'death cause unknown.'" "We had a long interview with a reporter over there and we talked about exactly what we had seen: bad living conditions, drugs, racism, the attitudes of the guys. Then we saw the story that this women wrote and it had almost nothing to do with what we said," says Doughty. "I said to myself, if everything we hear about Vietnam is handled in this way, then we just don't get all the truth." TOMORROW: Drugs and racism.
