I did a little research about this and found that many quotes about Viet Nam are anti-American anti-war sayings which were written by those who have never served and are false and unnaccurate, such as this one:
Quote:
|
The draft is white people sending black people to fight yellow people to protect the country they stole from the red people.
|
White, Black, and Yellow Americans fought together and died together.
Quote:
One of the greatest casualties of the war in Vietnam is the Great Society ... shot down on the battlefield of Vietnam.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
|
So Great Society is "shot down" because we bent over backwards to help the Cambodians and South Viet Namese and stop the spread of Communism? If that isn't Great Society I don't know what is.
Quote:
|
What is the use of physicians like myself trying to help parents to bring up children healthy and happy, to have them killed in such numbers for a cause that is ignoble?
|
Its ignoble to help other people? We could have sat and watched as the Communists murdered everyone with ease. 2 million Cambodians were murdered because we pulled out of Viet Nam.
I did, however, find a few quotes I rather liked.
Quote:
If, when the chips are down, the worlds most powerful nation, the United States of America, acts like a pitiful, helpless giant, the forces of totalitarianism and anarchy will threaten free nations and free institutions throughout the world.
Ricard Nixon

I couldn't have said it better myself Mr. Nixon.
Quote:
I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.
William Westmoreland

You can't say enough about that.
Here's the site I found all those.
