At this juncture with 300.000 U.S. troops they still do nothing. In the coming time with 400.000 troops they certainly will suffer a shameful defeat in their aggressive attempt. Armymen ! Your blood have been shed too much But what Johnson - Mc Namara have brought to you and American people ? Only shame - mourning and suffering. There for we appeal to you : - Refuse to go to the front. - Demand to come home immediately when your terms are over. - Demand the repatriation of U.S. and Satellites' troops in South Vietnam. That is your very way of living and honor.
