The Power of an Opinion
This war is tearing the country apart. The people of this country cannot help but wonder why we are involving ourselves with the issues of another country in another continent. While we are all very much aware of the previous history between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the time of the Red Scare and the nuclear threats, those in the anti war movement still do not see how this is necessary. Maybe we are just young, maybe we are naive, but while most of us are in fact young, there are many experienced elders that feel the same way as the younger generation. Losing thousands of soldiers to prevent communism in Vietnam just does not seem to be the correct and moral thing to do. Obviously communism is not the only reason for the sending of our troops into that country but I have not heard of any reason that would equate to sending the young men and the future of our country into a war in which we are not wanted or needed. We can still save countless lives by pulling our troops out of Vietnam and pulling out of this war… there is still time.
