HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
US planes would intentionally drop 20,000 pairs of boots over the jungle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
US planes would intentionally drop 20,000 pairs of boots over the jungle during the Vietnam War. You see, the Vietnamese could easily follow the bootprints of American soldiers straight to their camps. But if they found a pair of boots, they would gladly put them on instead of their sandals. This way, all the bootprints in the jungle started to look the same, and the Vietnamese could no longer track their enemies.
