• donald sutherland'in canlandirdigi "esrarengiz adam"in washington'in tenha bir parkinda kevin costner'a, yani savci jim garrison'a birkac dakika boyunca anlattiklari filmin -ve abd tarihinin de- en can alici yeridir.
  
  "... don't underestimate the budget cuts kennedy
  called for in march of '63 either - close to 52
  military installations in 25 states, 21 overseas
  bases, you're talking big money. you know how
  many helicopters have been lost in vietnam?
  about three thousand so far. who makes them?
  bell helicopter. who owns bell? bell was near
  bankruptcy when the first national bank of
  boston approached the cia about developing the
  helicopter for indochina usage. how 'bout the
  f-111 fighters? general dynamics in fort worth.
  who owns that? find out the defence budget
  since the war began. $75 going on a hundred
  billion ... $200 billion'll be spent before it
  ends. in 1950 it was $13 billion. no war, no
  money. sometimes i think the organizing
  principle of any society is for war. the
  authority of the state over it's people resides
  in it's war powers. even eisenhower - military
  hero of wwii - warned us about it: 'beware the
  military - industrial complex', he said.
  kennedy wanted to end the cold war in his second
  term. he wanted to call of the moon race in
  favor of cooperation with the soviets. he
  signed a treaty with the soviets to ban nuclear
  testing, he refused to invade cuba in '62, and
  he set out to withdraw from vietnam. but that
  all ended on november 22, 1963.
  
  only four days after j.f.k. was shot, lyndon
  johnson signed national security memo 273, which
  essentially reversed kennedy's new withdrawal
  policy and gave the green light to the covert
  operations against north vietnam that provoked
  the gulf of tonkin incident. in that document
  lay the vietnam war."
  
  ozetle kennedy'nin savas karsiti durusu ile cok buyuk bir sanayinin tekerine comak soktugunu, savas araclari ureten dev firmalar ile cia'yi karsisina aldigindan bahsediyor. 1950'de 13 milyar dolar olan askeri harcamalarin suikastten sonraki vietnam savasinda 200 milyar dolari astigini, kendisi de eski bir asker oldugu halde eisenhower'in savas sanayisi konusunda kendilerini uyarmis oldugunu soyluyor.
  kennedy'nin soguk savasi sona erdirip uzayin kesfinde sovyetlerle isbirligi yapmak istedigini, ruslarla karsilikli nukleer test karsiti antlasma imzaladigini, 62'deki kuba isgalini reddettigini ve vietnam'a girmek istemedigini de ekliyor.
  
  ne var ki hepsi kasim 63'te sona eriyor; lyndon johnson suikastten yalnizca dort gun sonra ucu vietnam savasina acilacak belgeyi imzaliyor...
