In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones that have to win it or lose it. We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisors, but they have to win it, the people of Vietnam, against the communists." President John Kennedy in a televised interview with Walter Cronkite on September 2,1963.

This quote is less aggressive towards the war. The President isn't stating how he wants to tear down the enemy but instead how they can help but it isn't their war to fight.


Negative: "I believe this resolution to be a historic mistake. I believe that within the next century, future generations will look with dismay and great disappointment upon a Congress which is now about to mistake such a historic mistake." Senator Wayne Morse on the Senate's impending vote to adopt the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on August 7,1964.

This quote fits in this category because people in politics are starting to not be so excited about the war and do not want it to continue, thinking it was a mistake. 

"This war has already stretched the generation gap so wide that it threatens to pull the country apart." Senator Frank Church  speaking on the Senate floor on May 13, 1970.

This quote also fits the category because it reveals later on the negative effect of the Vietnam War.

We have an immediate interest in maintaining in power a friendly French Government, to assist in the furtherance  of our aims in Europe." -Department of State, "Policy statement on Indochina." issued on September 27, 1948.

In the beginning of the war, the Department of State set out their goals for the war. This quote reveals that the U.S was confident in their power for the Vietnam War, as their goals were to maintain their power.

"Hey, Hey LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?" -A protest chant that first became popular in late 1967. 

At the end of the war, the public had a negative attitude toward President Johnson. Tension was very high when parents were worried about their children. Parents didn't even know if their children were even alive at that point. The public wanted answers, but it seemed like they were not getting any. ]]> 2018-01-10 15:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/201302094/u8bhudu8nv4f/wish/220225560 201302094 https://padlet.com/201302094/u8bhudu8nv4f/wish/220230400 "You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and i will win." --Viet Minh leader Ho Chi Minh in a warning to French colonialists in 1946.

 This quote reveals that the vietnamese will keep fighting in the war no matter how many vietnamese men the enemy kills they wont give up.They will keep fighting until the end. 

This quote belongs in this category because this quote is from Ho Chi Minh giving the French a warning on what they are getting themselves into.

" All men are created equal; they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; among these are  Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." --The first lines of the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence, issued on September 2, 1945, quoting the American Declaration of Independence." 

The quote reveals that all men are equal but their leaders expose them to different environments. Their leaders show them different sides of Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness.

This quote belongs in this category because the Vietnamese trained their soldiers to keep fighting and don't give up no matter what happens. They were trained to kill anyone including women and children. 

"If the Buddhist wish to have another barbecue, Ill gladly supply the gasoline and a match."-- Tran Le Xuan, better known as Madame Nhu or "the Dragon lady," dismissing the fact that Buddhist monks had set themselves on fire in the summer of 1963 to protest the rule of her brother-in-law, south Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem, for whom she acted as an unoffical first lady."

This quote reveals that the vietnamese doesn't care about the protesters so if the Buddhist want to set themselves of fire to get their point across then they will be gladly willing to supply them the gasoline and matches.

This quote belongs in this category because the Vietnamese are very cruel and they don't care about anyone but themselves. they will kill any one around them including women and children.]]> 2018-01-10 16:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/201302094/u8bhudu8nv4f/wish/220230400
