"U.S. 52136045."

Benson (1979)
"Volunteered?"
Benson (1979)
"The only voluntary thing I did in the Army"
Benson (1979)
"was with a WAC and it was far from controlled."
Benson (1979)
"Sergeant, you should have shown him up to room 208."
Benson (1979)
"I tried, sir, but he wouldn't go."
Benson (1979)
"Right."
Benson (1979)
"I don't take my clothes off for just anybody."
Benson (1979)
"Now what are you calling me down here for?"
Benson (1979)
"Oh, it's just a routine physical."
Benson (1979)
"Look,"
Benson (1979)
"when I left the Army, you and I agreed never to see each other again."
Benson (1979)
"What am I doing in here now?"
Benson (1979)
"Well, as I said, it's just a follow-up examination"
Benson (1979)
"for the men who served in Korea."
Benson (1979)
"It's free."
Benson (1979)
"Mmm! Wonderful. Now I'm free to go."
Benson (1979)
"Yeah, but just... just let me ask a few simple questions."
Benson (1979)
"Now, have you ever experienced"

"severe headaches, fever, dizziness,"
Benson (1979)
"nightmares or anxiety?"
Benson (1979)
"Once."
Benson (1979)
"When the enemy bombed my pup tent."
Benson (1979)
"But not since then? No."
Benson (1979)
"Good."
Benson (1979)
"Most of the victims haven't been so fortunate."
Benson (1979)
"Victims?"
Benson (1979)
"Oh, I mean, participants."
Benson (1979)
"Yes, it's not as though we've lost anyone."
Benson (1979)
"I mean, not yet."
Benson (1979)
"So far, we've just had to deal with side effects."
Benson (1979)
"Side effects from what?"
Benson (1979)
"Microbiological substance infiltration."
Benson (1979)
"What the hell is that?"
Benson (1979)
"Germ warfare."
Benson (1979)
"Hold it."
Benson (1979)
"Back up a minute."
Benson (1979)
"What has that got to do with me?"
Benson (1979)
"Well, according to our records,"
Benson (1979)
"you were with a group of men who were in a heavily exposed area."
Benson (1979)
"Are you saying they used germ warfare on me over there?"
Benson (1979)
"Well, more or less."
Benson (1979)
"Except it wasn't over there"
Benson (1979)
"and it wasn't them."
Benson (1979)
"Well, who was it?"
Benson (1979)
"Well, it seems that you were exposed after you came back."
Benson (1979)
"You see, while you were at Fort Clover"
Benson (1979)
"waiting for your discharge,"
Benson (1979)
"your barracks were contaminated."
Benson (1979)
"Well, how could that happen?"
Benson (1979)
"It was a top secret experiment."
Benson (1979)
"Nobody knew about it."
Benson (1979)
"Especially the participants."
Benson (1979)
"Are you saying that the Army"
Benson (1979)
"deliberately sprayed some stuff in our barracks"
Benson (1979)
"that would make us sick?"
Benson (1979)
"Well, so far as they knew back then, it was harmless."
Benson (1979)
"Let me ask you something else. Anything."
Benson (1979)
"How do I get to room 208?"
Benson (1979)
"You're jiggling the scale."
Benson (1979)
"That's because my knees are shaking."
Benson (1979)
"Can we get on with this?"
Benson (1979)
"All right. Now, if you'll just sit up here on the table,"
Benson (1979)
"you can relax."
Benson (1979)
"I'll sit up here on the table, but I won't be relaxed."
Benson (1979)
"What I can't figure is why the Army would use germs on their own men."
Benson (1979)
"Well, maybe it was a defensive maneuver."
Benson (1979)
"They wanted to see if it would work on the enemy."
Benson (1979)
"I'm gonna try not to think about that"
Benson (1979)
"while you're taking my blood pressure."
Benson (1979)
"Now, did anyone in your family have heart trouble?"
Benson (1979)
"My Uncle Walter. For about 30 seconds."
Benson (1979)
"What about you? Any irregular heartbeats?"
Benson (1979)
"Not before I came in here."
Benson (1979)
"Let's give a listen."
Benson (1979)
"Testing, one, two, one, two."
Benson (1979)
"Just a little humor there."
Benson (1979)
"Well, the men enjoy it."
Benson (1979)
"Not all of them."
Benson (1979)
"That may be cold."
Benson (1979)
"Thank you."
Benson (1979)
"Mmm."
Benson (1979)
"Mmm."
Benson (1979)
"Mmm-hmm."
Benson (1979)
""Mmm-hmm" what?"
Benson (1979)
""Mmm-hmm", no problem or "mmm-hmm", you're dead?"
Benson (1979)
"I don't know yet. Corporal, we may have to take some more blood."
Benson (1979)
"You're gonna have to take it from him,"
Benson (1979)
"'cause you took all mine already."
Benson (1979)
"Now, then, tell me, uh, does this hurt?"
Benson (1979)
"(EXCLAIMING) Does that?"
Benson (1979)
"You can put your shirt on now."
Benson (1979)
"Thank you."
Benson (1979)
"How long will it be before I know if I've got it?"
Benson (1979)
"As soon as the results come in, you'll be the first to know."
Benson (1979)
"Of course, if anything happens before then..."
Benson (1979)
"I'll still be the first to know."
Benson (1979)
"Well, that's basically it."
Benson (1979)
"Benson's still in the examining room."
Benson (1979)
"General McBeatty said that there won't be any official word"
Benson (1979)
"for a day or two."
Benson (1979)
"Yeah, that's what they said."
Benson (1979)
"But if Benson didn't have it,"
Benson (1979)
"why are they going to all this trouble?"
Benson (1979)
"Oh, my God, I don't want to hear this."
Benson (1979)
"Oh, now you don't want to hear this?"
Benson (1979)
"But if you hadn't insisted on calling General"
Benson (1979)
"McBeatty, we wouldn't be so depressed."
Benson (1979)
"Taylor, sometimes I... Now, look,"
Benson (1979)
"Benson is just going to get more upset if we carry on."
Benson (1979)
"So let's just act naturally,"
Benson (1979)
"pretend everything's all right,"
Benson (1979)
"until he wants to talk about it."
Benson (1979)
