Marines dragging their wounded buddies through the bush. the bombers dropping their deadly cargo. the dusty graves row on row. and. here at home. the Kent State student lying dead. a bullet through his head. And the aftereffects of our futile and foolish involvement are felt in our daily livesinflation that continues to soar because we did not match our escalating commitment in Vietnam with necessary taxes. and now are paying the bill. the lingering plight of the young men disabled in the war. now in the pale limbo of our veterans hospitals. the disenchantment of many young people with our political processes. now adding to a shocking majority that is not voting in our elections. Now. too. we have the 50.000 or so Vietnamese refugees in tent camps in our island bases in the Pacific and in three camps in this country. Humanity compelled that we not leave them to the vengeance of the Communist conquerers. yet now the Government must develop detailed plans for assisting them to relocate and become productive citizens in this country. Many are the wives and children of Americans. others are employees of American firms. and they should be assimilated easily into our society.
