Found this article from last year in an Irish paper
エラン履恵 • Elán Rie 💉x9@selzero @PhoenixSerenity I'm gonna give benefit of the doubt to the audio and assume that it's genuine in some way, but this video clip can't not be AI
Beyond the weird mouth glitching, even photographs of Hamburger Hill were taken in black and white
The microphone is also really weird? Even assuming a microphone that looks like that existed in 1969, both men talk into the binding rather than the metal mesh where the sound should be picking them up; even if the interviewer keeps his arm low to prioritize the soldier's glitch face, he should know to put the recording part in front of his own mouth, especially speaking in profile
(And not my expertise, but the interviewer looks like a guy from the 21st century trying to look like a guy from the 1960s, although I can't put my finger on what specifically about his hair is making me think so)
Could you provide a source for this?

There doesn't seem to be any reliable source for the quote online, all I can find are Facebook posts and tiktoks. It's a great sentiment, but faking a video to give it pretend historical veracity is some clanker bullshit.

@niji_limbo @selzero @PhoenixSerenity Might mention that there definitely is colour footage of the American war in Vietnam, a lot of news was shot on colour reversal stock. Here's some for example: https://archive.org/details/83454-david-plen-7-pt-1-mos-vwr
" VIETNAM WAR RAW FOOTAGE 1967 " TAN TRU MEKONG DELTA U.S. ARMY HOSPITAL CORPS 83454 : PeriscopeFilm : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Shot by an unknown U.S. Army cameraman named Staal, this color film is raw footage of American troops filmed during the Vietnam War in 1967. At least some of...
@stib @selzero @PhoenixSerenity Ah yes, sorry! I should've been clearer that that specific battle being in color was what made me raise an eyebrow. Color footage (news footage included) was definitely a thing!

Richard RatheAll of the references I can find via top 20 DDgo (Bing) search are deep links to facebook or youtube posts (ie, NOT trustworthy). The reference to the Irish newspaper in one of the replies is the first legit reference I've seen (thanks for that) but single secondary/tertiary source is pretty flimsy.
As much as I like the quote, I'm skeptical. If legit it would be all over "liberal" news media and it's not. Also, pretty sophisticated response for an "in the trenches" interview. My two cents.
Addendum: Also labeling is incorrect. There were plenty of Americans ready to hear that message in 1969.
Passwordsarehard4@nickrauchen @selzero it seems odd to me because of the timeing. This kid would have been lucky to live out the year, the interviewer would have known he was likely to not walk out of that hellscape. There was no future, not half a century away at least. He would have asked what he had to say to the people back home if he ever got the chance. In case you don’t get the chance to talk to your son what do you want him to know. They didn’t think about us because they had more issues
Laukidh@nickrauchen @selzero yeah, it’s gotta be AI. There’s no legit source for this quote.
SearingTruth"My saunter began in the garden, just a few misplaced parts there. I couldn't really tell what they were, so I just walked through the broken door to the front room.
And there it was. That head. As a misplaced ornament upon the armchair. And then looking down I saw the infants body and my knees slightly buckled. I had seen much horror, the body parts of children were a daily chore, but this body was just a little too intact. I could tell where the neck used to attach both.
And since then I cannot be human.
For I had fired the rocket that destroyed them.
For the good of all mankind."
