" The time is always right to do what is right"( 

Martian Luther King Jr.) Martian didn't want 

people to do violence when protesting. He 

was against the way the war was being 

fought.

I think that Martian wanted people to realize 

that fight was not always the answer. He tried 

so hard, and certain people didn't like him for 

it. But his legacy lives on till today.

In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam 

war was on. We were against the cops and against 

the politicians, and there was a lot of waving 

banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as 

they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were 

enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you 

know?

~Yoko Ono

The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as 

I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two 

conflicts have weakened the U.S. and 

diminished our standing in the world and our 

national security.

George McGovern

“ I didn’t serve in the war,but at the time it 

sounded like a great idea. When the war was 

going on it was not a great idea. Just the way it 

ended was not necessary.” 

-Leroy See May 2, 2015

We managed to put together a compilation that 

had some creativity to it. In the meantime I 

was listening to the free radio stations and I 

noticed that during their war coverage they 

were playing these songs born out of the 

Vietnam War that were all critical of the 

soldiers.

Joni Mitchell

“Racial injustice around the world. Poverty. 

War. When man solves these three great 

problems he will have squared his moral 

progress with his scientific progress. And more 

importantly, he will have learned the practical 

art of living in harmony.”

~ Martin Luther King, Jr., “Dreams Of Brighter 

Tomorrows”, Ebony, March 1965, p. 35

Suicidal violence is not the exclusive property of 

the Muslim world. Suicide bombings were a 

tactic of nationalist struggles in 19th-century 

Europe and Russia, the far east during the 

second world war and the Vietnam war, and in 

modern Sri Lanka.

James Buchan

When it came to the Vietnam War, Mr. 

McNamara was an early advocate of escalation 

but came to realize the flaws in the American 

approach earlier than many of his colleagues. 

Yet in public, he continued to defend the war.

Samantha Power

When the women's liberation movement began, 

when people began protesting against the 

Vietnam War, civil rights movement, at the 

beginning of those movements, the majority of 

the country was not with them, did not believe 

in the basic principles of any of those 

philosophies.

Michael Moore
