"Kurtz: I've seen horrors... horrors that you've 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... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a
camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had
inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after
us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had
come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A
pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... 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, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do
that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized
they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were
not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought
with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled
with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If
I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very
quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who
are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without
feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment!
Because it's judgment that defeats us."
Apocalypse Now, 1979
