War Protester Still Frustrated
- Share via
Bettijane Levine’s article “A Wound That Time Has Not Healed” (April 20) incorrectly assumes that old psychic wounds about the war ever healed for anyone.
The anger and frustration for those of us who protested the Vietnam War can never go away completely. What we can only hope for is that the American people learned a lesson that there is no such thing as “the Best and the Brightest” in government.
The one thing that this book should do is keep alive the idea that citizens have an absolute right to question their government’s motives and actions. And when it comes to life-and-death issues, the American people should never be denied the truth of what is going on in the world.
