The ordinary manand I confess that I am one of themdoes not understand the value of killing and being killed in order to support limited or diplomatic objectives. A war that is fought without the incentive of victory is fatally flawed in the beginning. Those civilians who overruled the military professionals in the conduct of the Vietnam war will bear the ulimate burden of defeatjust as those who now maintain that any Vietnamese will be better off with a life under the totalitarian suppression of liberty are out of contact with reality. Many look upon the arrival of the refugees as the final blow. a tangible symbol of our ignoble failure to seek victory in Vietnama symbol. if you please. Mr. President. of a nowin war.
