My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.

I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it.

I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.

I got my head bashed in at a demonstration against the Vietnam War. Police were losing control because they were up against a world they really didn't understand.

I carry the memories of the ghosts of a place called Vietnam - the people of Vietnam, my fellow soldiers.

I learned a lot from Vietnam veterans, especially as some of them turned against their own war.

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.

I simply told people what I thought about the state of the war in Vietnam, and it was that we better get out of this.

I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.

I went to Vietnam; it was my first assignment as a reporter for the UPI, and I never could get away from the war.
