Victims of napalm bombing find it impossible to scrape the flames from their skin. Officials at the Pentagon know that we have killed more than 170.000 civilians in South Vietnam and that nearly 800.000 have been maimed or disabled. Furthermore. we have forcibly removed from their homes civiliansmostly women. children. and old men who are in filthy. miserable refugee camps. socalled. which are akin to concentration camps. I saw some of these fencedin refugee camps last January and visited many of those who were herded within these camps. The plight of these human beings was pitiful indeed. This is the ignominious role that the Johnson administration has caused the United States to play in the undeclared war in Vietnam.
