He would like the network to cover his performance piece on the subject now to make amends. Kleinberg attempted to get the video of that report from CBS but was told it didn’t exist. He had reported on the three soldiers who died, but there was nothing in his report of the missing bunker covers. The next day there was a photo of Wallace with a top over the bunker. Wallace demanded why there was no cover for the bunker.

That same year, 60 Minutes’ TV journalist, Mike Wallace, came to Kleinberg’s bunker when he was reporting from Vietnam. According to him, “The Vietnam War, was the most divisive foreign war and gave birth to the counter culture of the 1960’s and 1970’s.”īy the time he returned to the U.S., there were thousands of people protesting the war in the streets shouting “Hey, hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” He recalled that one of the men who was wounded in his bunker, while covered in blood screamed, “that bastard, Johnson!” Kleinberg was born in the middle of WWII, which he said was perceived very differently by the American public. They went months being shot at, but he was lucky that he was editing the paper in Bangkok, Thailand during the strikes. He was editing the division newspaper when his bunker in Cu Chi, Vietnam was hit. In it, Kleinberg says in Vietnam he was told, “there’s only two kinds of battles: the ones we won and the ones we won.” His one-man theatre piece titled “Hey, Hey, LBJ!” will be performed at Mia Cuppa at this year’s Rogue Festival. In the military, there is usually a support unit in the back, but his unit lived and worked right with the soldiers. He took photos and reported for the Stars and Stripes. Kleinberg was an army journalist during the Vietnam War. He had always been told that American casualties were light, but realized he had been lied to. Especially after the Tet Offensive, Kleinberg became anti-war. One of them hit a bunker, hitting people he lived with. That is, until he was in the jungle, rockets falling next to him. By the time he left the country a year later, there were 500,000 Americans in Vietnam, stationed in just half of a small nation. He thought it was small and wouldn’t last long. He knew something was going on in Vietnam, but wasn’t too worried about being drafted.
In 1964, San Francisco native David Kleinberg dropped out of school to travel.
