Support the War--
Why is the United States in Vietnam?
There is no concrete, clear-cut, simple
answer to this question.
Opposition to the War is increasing in
the United States. This is evident by
the student viewpoints and by the grow
numbers of people in leadership positions
speaking out against the War. This opposition
is nothing novel in the history of the United
States. There is documented evidence proving
that there was opposition to every United
States' war from the War of Independence to the
present Vietnam War. f ec-sev,
The fact that there are American li
being lost
o g hier -upport to the War. These
can not • ost in vain.
The United• States can not back.out of
Vietnam. We have pledged our support to the
people of South East. Asia, and: "At.E . %e.f ode
with the world we must stay there and fight.
The n citizens" who don't give their sup
sort to the,War, the draftcard burners, the
protest leasers - =re con owiiinn traitors and
their followers are non-thinking, unpatriotic,
gut-less misfits of society.
