We should declare war on North Vietnam. We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas.
My solution to the problem would be to tell the North Vietnamese Communists frankly that they've got to drawn in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the stone age.
To win in Vietnam, we will have to exterminate a nation.
We should bomb Vietnam back into the stone age.
I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.
We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.
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.
Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs.
I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
