President. the question of the safety of the young Americans who remain in Indochina today should be an overriding concern as we consider the two alternative methods of ending our involvement in Indochina. Vietnamization carries other costs. It promises to continue the distortion of our economy and the theft of the resources from urgent domestic priorities. It offers the continued pounding of the tiny countries of Indochina. already ravaged by a total bombload of more than 280 times the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts. It guarantees still more death. destruction. and squalorous refugee camps for civilians in Vietnam. Laos. and Cambodia. But there is nothing about this war that is more real than the tragic spectacle of young men coming home in green plastic body bags. encased in military coffins.
