MLK and the Vietnam War
January 19, 2020
I am not a fan of the religion, economics, and politics of the plagiarist and womanizer Martin Luther King, and neither am I a fan of his holiday, but when he said that the Vietnam War was “unjust, evil, and futile,” that “we have no honorable intentions in Vietnam,” and that “we have been wrong from the beginning of our adventure in Vietnam,” he was certainly speaking the truth. See my reviews of two important books about the crime of the Vietnam War here and here.
Laurence M. Vance [send him mail] writes from central Florida. He is the author of The Free Society; War, Christianity, and the State: Essays on the Follies of Christian Militarism; War, Empire, and the Military: Essays on the Follies of War and U.S. Foreign Policy; King James, His Bible, and Its Translators, and many other books. His newest book is The U.S. Proxy War in Ukraine.
