Vietnam Quotes

Vietnam was a country where America was trying to make people stop being communists by dropping things on them from airplanes. Kurt Vonnegut
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush's ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government. Donald Sutherland
John Pilger quote: "Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war."
Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war. John Pilger
Michael Herr quote: "Vietnam was what we had instead of happy childhoods."
Vietnam was what we had instead of happy childhoods. Michael Herr
Vietnam was the first war ever fought without any censorship. Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind. William Westmoreland
Willie Stargell quote: "Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in..."
Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters. Willie Stargell
Vietnam is often called our only uncensored war, but that only means that the government wasn't vetting the pictures and words. Bruce Jackson
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side. Sheila Jackson Lee
Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam. Lyndon B. Johnson
People will tell you it was Vietnam brought this country to its knees. But I never believed that. It was already in bad shape. Vietnam was just the icin on the cake. We didn't have nothin to give to em to take over there. If we'd sent em without rifles I dont know as they'd of been all that much worse off. You can't go to war like that. You cant go to war without God. I dont know what is goin to happen when the next one comes. I surely dont. Cormac McCarthy
I met this kid from Miles City, Montana, who read the Stars and Stripes every day, checking the casualty lists to see if by some chance anybody form his home town had been killed. He didn’t even know if there was anyone else from Miles City in Vietnam, but he checked anyway because he knew for sure that if there was someone else and they got killed, he would be all right. “I mean, can you just see *two* guys from a raggedy-ass town like Miles City getting killed in Vietnam? Michael Herr
Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam. Marshall McLuhan
More than half the combat deaths in Vietnam occurred after Richard Nixon was elected on a promise to bring the war to an end, and after the American people had already decided that they did not want one more soldier to die in Vietnam. Raul Grijalva
Francis Ford Coppola quote: "My film is not a movie; it's not about Vietnam. It is Vietnam."
My film is not a movie; it's not about Vietnam. It is Vietnam. Francis Ford Coppola
When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves. William Westmoreland
