"GOP Congressman Says War 'Immoral'" by Lou Cannon

Congressman Paul N. McCloskey, a decorated Marine veteran, returned from a fact finding tour of Vietnam calling the war “immoral” and urging the U.S. to withdraw quickly. He argued that the policy of destroying villages and using heavy firepower was causing huge civilian suffering. McCloskey believed the U.S. was fueling endless war and said America should focus on peace negotiations and helping South Vietnam govern itself.
