What Forrest Gump said during Capital speech

I never knew that there were actual, scripted words.

While in Washington, D.C., Forrest makes fast friends with activist Abbie Hoffman, who invites him to take the stage and share his experiences in Vietnam with thousands of onlookers in the midst of an anti-war protest. But just as Forrest begins speaking, his microphone is unplugged, leaving viewers to wonder what it was that Forrest said. Well, wonder no more ...
According to Tom Hanks, Forrest’s speech was as follows:
quote:
“Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don’t go home at all. That’s a bad thing. That’s all I have to say about that.”

Yeah, I thought it was pretty common knowledge by now.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know either. I just thought the point was for it to be mysterious, but you just knew it had to be something profound in a Gump sort of way because of Hoffman's reaction.
I also thought that it felt like he said more than that.

I did, but I chuckle every time.
It's the most nonpolitical anti-war speeches ever (not) made. Perfect for Forrest that no one could hear him.
