Why did a high-ranking officer disconnect all the microphones when Forrest Gump was about to speak on Vietnam?

I never quite figured out why someone would silence Forrest Gump in front of millions.
Do you have any insider stories about what all Forrest said?
And most importantly, why did that guy disconnect the microphones? Why did he think it was necessary? What would’ve happened if Forrest got to be heard by that audience?
