“ It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it. ”
I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.
~ George Mcgovern
When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota, we never referred to the national debt, it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.
