Vietnam veteran discussions gets more tense as the adult Caucasian male veteran, who dropped Agent Orange, gets defensive, saying that fellow veterans don't like him for dropping Agent Orange. Fellow Vietnam veterans, Caucasian and African American, assure him that they don't hold it against him. That they're all Vietnam veterans who carried out orders in a war. Man criticizes the United States for taking this long to even acknowledge Vietnam War veterans. He says anyone legitimately injured should get aid, but he's been getting up every day and going to work, and that people who are demanding aid should remember that a lot of people died in the war (he's angry that some veterans are turning the memorial of the dead into a stage to protest). Man shakes hands with fellow Vietnam veteran who tells him; "I love you, brother. Take care of yourself."
