Point of views about Vietnam War
Two known men gave his own points of view regarding the war in Vietnam on a
speech. A preacher named Martin Luther King was one of those men. He joined in
meeting to speak why he had some reasons to stop the war in Vietnam using a
compassion way. The other man was the president of the united state Lyndon B Johnson.
In contras of King he used a lot of patriotism on his speech when he explained people
why they have sent soldiers to Vietnam. Even though both speakers gave us effective
speeches, I was more connected with Martin Luther King’s speech than Lyndon B
Johnson’s speech.
Martin Luther King creates an act of sympathy for the people in the war. The
people that were the most affected in the war were the poor people. They just depend too
much on the government. The poor need government because the government provides
programs if you have no money for food or water. Nevertheless, many programs were
canceled for poor people after the Vietnam war began. the In “Beyond Vietnam-- A time
to Break Silence.’ Martin Luther King says, “Then came the buildup in Vietnam, and I
watched this program broken and eviscerated.” In the way he said that, I feel as if I could
feel how frustrated he must have been because he could not do anything about it. This
meant the Vietnam war took all money needed in the government to have all the helpful
programs. King also says “Perhaps the more tragic recognition of reality took place when
it became clear to me that the war was doing far more devastating the hope of the poor at
home.“ When Martin Luther King used this phrase, it made me think about how sad it
must be loosing someone important in your life just because of the war.
On the other hand, Lyndon B Johnson used some of patriotism on his speech
when he said why soldiers
