"No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now. Rarely, have so many people been so wrong about so much. Never have the consequences of their misunderstanding been so tragic."
-Richard Nixon
"I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service."
-John F. Kerry
"The war in Vietnam is but a symptom of a far deeper malady within the American spirit."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy."
-William Westmoreland
"You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill one of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it."
-Ho Chi Minh
