Dick Gregory on War
Dick Gregory on War
African American comedian-activist Dick Gregory, sharing his views on the Vietnam War, speaks of increased U.S. bombings in Vietnam as a result of the United States announcing it was bringing soldiers home. It is of no surprise to him that North Vietnam would make a move in response to the increased bombing, which will only cause the United States to continue to increase bombing. Gregory references a book written by North Vietnamese Army (NVA) General Vo Nguyen Giap, saying it should be in every American library, where General Giap states that, "Bombs don't win wars, people do." Gregory equates this with the present situation in Vietnam. Gregory says the U.S. is losing the war in Vietnam and the sooner the U.S. gets out of there the better off the world and America will be.
