aug 6, 1964 - Speech by Senator Ernest Gruening
Description:
“(I urge) that the United States get out of South Vietnam...American security is not involved, the allegation that we are supporting freedom in South Vietnam has a hollow sound...I do not consider this our war and I feel that all Vietnam is not worth the life of a single American boy. We inherited this putrid [disgusting] mess from past administrations, and we should make every effort to disengage ourselves.” Essentially, we have no business in this war, there wasn't any threat to us from it, and we were wasting lives on the war we didn't even have to fight."
