This is not a jungle war, but a struggle for freedom on every front of human activity.
Ronald Reagan
It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home for Christmas.
Ronald Reagan
Tell the Vietnamese they've got to draw in their horns or we're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Let us understand: North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States. Only Americans can do that.
Richard Nixon
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
Richard M. Nixon
The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.
Ho Chi Minh
Above all, Vietnam was a war that asked everything of a few and nothing of most in America.
Myra MacPherson
I was proud of the youths who opposed the war in Vietnam because they were my babies.
Benjamin Spock
All the wrong people remember Vietnam. I think all the people who remember it should forget it, and all the people who forgot it should remember it.
Michael Herr
We have forgotten that Vietnam, and Iraq resent being invaded and know the ground better than we do.
Wendell Berry
The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust our own government statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on them.
J. William Fulbright
One of the greatest casualties of the war in Vietnam is the Great Society ... shot down on the battlefield of Vietnam.
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
