Kurtz: I've seen horrors. Horrors that you have seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer, You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that. But you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If They are not, then They are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with special forces, it seems 1,000 centuries ago. We went into a camp to innoculate the children. We left the camp after we innoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us, he was crying, He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come back and they had hacked off every innoculated arm. There they were, in a pile, A pile of little arms, and I remember I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it, I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond. A diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought of the genius of that the genius of that, the genius. The will to do that. Perfect genuine, complete crystalline. Pure. TheI realized that they could stand it, these were not monsters, the mes were trained cadres. The men who fought with their hearts who had families with children who had families who were filled with love, but they had the strength, the strength to do that. If I had 10 divisions of those men, then our troubles would be over here very quickly. You have to have men who are moral, and at the same time who are able to utilize their primortal instincts to kill without judgement without judgement without judgement. Because it's judgement that defeats us
