Each day to facilitate the process by which the 
United States washes her hands of Vietnam someone has to give up his life so 
that the United States doen'st have to admit something that the entire world 
already knows, so that we can't say they we have made a mistake. Someone has to 
die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, "the first 
President to lose a war."
We are asking Americans to think about that 
because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you 
ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake? But we are trying to do that, 
and we are doing it with thousands of rationalizations, and if you read 
carefully the President's last speech to the people of this country, you can see 
that he says and says clearly:

In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam, 
nothing which could happen that realistically threatens the United States of 
America. And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, 
Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom, which 
those misfits supposedly abuse, is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy, and 
it is that kind of hypocrisy which we feel has torn this country 
apart....

I got drafted on November 22,1966. I had been working for a book distributor and 
as a stock boy in some stores coming out of high school. A lot of dudes were 
trying to do things to get deferments. One of my brothers put some kind of 
liquid in his eye and said he had an eye problem at the physical. He never went. 
I didn't try anything. I knew when I got drafted I was going to Vietnam, 
no matter what I did. I knew because of the vision I had when I was twelve.
