Two thousand people a day were being murdered in Vietnam in a terrorist war, an official terrorist war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Millions also perished in the Chinese camps, and there have been terrible genocides in Cambodia and Vietnam.
It is unconscionable that 10,000 boys have died in Vietnam. If 10,000 American women had mind enough they could end the war, if they were committed to the task, even if it meant going to jail.
A total of 1,580 people, the civilian population, suffered as a result of the bloody wave of terrorist acts that swept over Moscow and other towns and villages of our country.
More than half the combat deaths in Vietnam occurred after Richard Nixon was elected on a promise to bring the war to an end, and after the American people had already decided that they did not want one more soldier to die in Vietnam.
Our house was bombed, and the roof fell in. We were sitting under the stairs of the basement, and we were quite safe, but it brought home the realization. In two nights 400 people were killed in small town.
At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.
Had there been a reporter along with Lieutenant Calley when he massacred those people in Vietnam, I think that probably wouldn't have happened.
There were almost 11,000 American soldiers killed in Germany in April of 1945, the last full month of the war. That's almost as many as died in June, 1944. Right to the very end, it was absolutely brutal.
Nine out of 10 war victims die from a gun.
The Second World War claimed tens of millions of victims.
