Key A
1. Over 150 honorably discharged veterans took part in the Detroit investigation .
2. The participants told war crimes committed in Indochina .
3. They wanted to prove that the policy of the United States in Indochina was tantamount to genocide . They wanted to show that you didn’t start making things right by prosecuting William Calley and there was not just one Mylai but countless Mylais and they were continuing every
single day .

5. The author wanted the writer for a national magazine to write the story of war the American
people should have heard .
6. Because the chairman of the large firm did not think the author could market war crimes and it
was nothing new of what they had done .
7. At boot camp the American soldiers were presented with a poster in the barracks of a crucified
Vietnamese and underneath it says , “ k ill the gooks. “They w ere trained to jump up and yell
“ k ill !”at the end of the four-count of calisthenics . Before they departed for Vietnam , the
sergeant took a live rabbit , skinned it ,tore it open and pulled out the entrails . He ordered them to
do the same to the Vietnamese .
8. It was a distortion because the veterans in no way considered themselves the best men in this country , because those he called misfits were standing up for them in a way nobody else in this country dared to , because so many who died would have come back to join the misfits , and because so many had actually returned to this country to demand an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam.
9. They were unemployed and received little care when they were back in the U.S.

3. Everyone here in America who has allowed the brutalization and depersonalization to go on is responsible .
4. If you don’t cover the war you don’t sell magazines , and if you don’t sell magazines then nothing happens because that’s the American way .
5. But what this country doesn’t know is that America has created a monster in the form of millions of fighting men who have been taught to deal in violence , and who have been given a chance to die for the biggest nothing in history .
6. Now we are told that we have to watch quietly while the American lives are lost so that we can exercise the incredible arrogance of Vietnamizing the Vietnamese .
7. The problem of the veteran doesn’t just end with his anger.
8. Then suddenly one day he woke up in Vietnam and he found himself doing to the Vietnamese exactly what had been done to his people and what he had been conditioned by America to applaud .

Do You like to be a salesman in a big company ?
With the development of economy , more and more salesmen are needed in all kinds of companies , big or small . Meanwhile , more and more people like to be salesmen . As for me , I
like to be a salesman in a big company for the following reasons .
Firstly , in terms of income , salesmen in a big company often earn big salaries . It goes without
saying that salary is an important consideration when one chooses a job . Generally speaking , a
big company offers a better pay to its salesmen that a small company does . As a breadwinner , I
certainly prefer to work as a salesman in a big company .
Secondly , in terms of self –development , salesmen in a big company often get better chances to
further develop themselves ,.Nowadays , earning a large sum of money is not the only purpose of
salesmen , they also want to improve their abilities and enlarge their knowledge as well . A big
company usually provides in –service training to its salesmen which few small companies are able
to provide . Thus , I like to be a salesman in a big company for this reason .
In short , for the two reasons I mentioned above , I want to be a salesman in a big company .
