U.S. officers and Soldiers !
Early in 1966 U.S. Expeditionary corps composed of 200.000 troops Johnson - Mc Namara couldn't « improve the situation ».
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.
