A WTOP Editorial : Reasoned, Dignified Protest Against the War

description

A WTOP TV/radio anti-Vietnam war editorial which quotes and offers praise for future senator and former Navy Lieutenant John Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Editorial written by Norman Davis which largely consists of excerpts from Kerry's testimony. "Each day to facilitate the process by which the United States washes her hands of Vietnam, someone has to give up his life, so that the United States doesn't have to admit something that the entire world already knows. So that we cannot say that we've made a mistake. Someone has to to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, 'the first President to lose a war.' And we are asking Americans to think about that, because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" -- John Kerry's statement as quoted in the WTOP Editorial.
