VETERANS SAY NO TO NIXON
Vietnam Veterans Against the War
has a membership of over .30,000. We
are tri daiiypebntäcrtwith thousands
'more ■.Vietnam1 .Veterans" .-on the unemployment lines, in the factories, at
military bäseö, tri drug rehabilitation centers and at the VA's hospitals. Speaking for ourselves., We. ..
oppose the Re-election of the President. His solutions to Americans.
problems are totally counter-productive!., His so-called concern is preventing us from leading meaningful
and productive lives.
,.. It is.Mr. Nixon who, by Presidential decree, is continuing the -.:ar.
We. now know his 195.8 "secret Plan"
means"150,000 GIs indefinitely
fighting in Asia as a "residual
force." Vietnam veterans want to
see all 150,000 of our brothers
home immediately. We need them here
an I not in Asia. t -..-.-,-
During the past four, years,, Mr.».-...
Nixon ordered us to invade Cambodia
and support the ARVN invasion of ■ :
Laos. We were there, and both operations failed. So Mr,. Nixon changed
military tactics. He substituted us
with savage American firepower and
began bombing North Vietnam again.
Vietnam veterans want an end to the
fighting. Bring home all the billions
of dollars we spend for planes anp
military aid to Indochina.. :
Finally Mr. Nixon claims he is :
keeping our brothers in Vietnam to
force the return of our POWs, We
don't believe him„ We think ' '* he
is using the 350 men (who were shot
down and captured while dropping
bombs on the people of North Vietnam)
as an excuse. Some of those brothers
have been in prison for 10 years.
And each and every day they're
joined by new men being shot
down. Having been in a war, we
know damn, well that no country
is likely to release capture "
enemy personnel while it's being
attacked. The POX? issue has been
made clear by the Vietnamese.
Once Mr. Nixon agrees to get out
of Indochina, lock, stock, and
barrel, North Vietnam would ha^/e
no sensible reason for keeping
our brothers. Their position becomes even clearer this week
when 3 POW's return home. Vietnam
veterans want all the- POW's home,
we want all our brothers home.
There are other issues besides
the war demonstrating Mr. Nixon's
sorry record. Unemployment among
veterans is twice the national
average, and in an economy where
money talks, it's rough. 700,000
veterans with a "drug problem,"
it's rough. A GI Bill.that pays
$175 a month, it's rough. We
know that being.a veteran is
rough, but to us thèse issues are
secondary in the 1972 elections.
We want the war over as the first
step, because we know that the
war is the main cause of /America's
problems today.
