It is ironic. to say the least. that we have lost over 50.000 American lives. played a major role in creating more than 6 million refugees. spent over $132 billion. significantly contributed to the loss of more than 1 million Asian lives. seen the heroin addiction of many GIs and unwittingly contributed to the smuggling of heroin into our own country. all In order to save one dictatorship from another in a part of the work in which we have no vital interest. This war must come to an end. Therefore.
