If we continue to lose men at this rate. we will have lost over 100 men to POW status within a years time. So we continue to play out the tragedy. We are bombing to defend our troops. bombing to bring our prisoners home. bombing to insure the survival of President Thieu. Since 1969. we have achieved a single objectivethe survival of President Thieuat a cost of more than 20.000 American lives. 4 million civilian refugees. and 165.000 civilian deaths in South Vietnam alone. The statistics numb the mind. Like the images of villages destroyed. families running for their lives. children fleeing in terror from a napalm strike. they have become part of our daily life.
