Vietnam: A Television History; Anti-War TV Ads

- Transcript
And write and write your congressman. And for God's sake tell them to support the December 30 personnel about Vietnam war has lasted longer now than any other war in the history of this country. It has succeeded only in tearing apart the fabric of our society. It's turned families against families it's driven thousands into exile and thousands more into despair. It has helped us to write the saddest chapter in the history of the United States. As one who fought in Vietnam and who has seen firsthand the emptiness of our policy I want you to consider how do you ask a man to be the last to die in Vietnam. How do you ask a man to be the last to die for a mistake. 73 percent of the American people say they want us out of Vietnam by the end of this year. Please make yourself heard. Write your senators and congressman and ask them to vote for legislation to end this
war now. When it is your tax dollars go. 17 percent of the pie goes for human resources such as social welfare housing labor community development. Another piece goes for education transportation space agriculture and other costs of government. Where does the rest of the pie go to the military to pay for the war past the present preparation for future wars. Nearly two thirds of your tax dollar is blown on the war. Isn't it time we stop this tragic waste and save the biggest piece of the pie and put the things the country really needs. Write your congressman ask him to support legislation to end the war in Vietnam this year. If I was permanently disabled in
Vietnam while serving as a Marine infantry officer. But despite my need to justify all the killing and the deaths of so many of my friends I can't because I saw that any good we might have done in Vietnam has long since been lost in the misery and suffering of a war that still has no end in sight. Please write your congressman and demand an end to this war now.
