 Orange act 2

December 1961, in a far away Vietnam, but already too much communist, the GI's landed softly, interfering in internal conflicts and in a politics which was not their own, giving rise to the first chemical war, however forbidden by the Geneva Protocol in 1925.

February 2007, throughout a snow-covered America, the POW-MIA, (Prisonners of War/Missing in action) those Vietnam war veterans, are proudly bearing witness about their war experience. Still morally deeply wounded by that past which is still haunting them, they have to speak to exorcize their memories.
They really need to speak, to explain what happened to justify their actions, which were only executed orders. Most of them were just young men, without experience, and they have had to rebuild themselves in face of a public opinion mostly against them. How could they have a peaceful life after such a course ?
All 50 stars of the Stars and Stripes banner stand up in front of the houses of those who, forty years ago, fought for liberty, their liberty, in order to defend the American values they believed to be right, and finally to destroy a country already in state of war and to provoke a terrible human and ecological catastrophe. The consequences of this war still produce a lot of irreversible 's sequela.
