EDITOR'S NOTE
The Vietnam W ar Article
The artícle (May íssue) on the Vietnam War brought a gratifyíng
response. Millions of readers learned, for tbe lirst time,
WHY
the United
States has been in the war.
Sorne of our readers, however, possibly influenced by Communist propa·
ganda or religious conviction, completely misunderstood what was said. The
artícle took NO PARTISt.N STt.ND, eíther in favor of or in opposition to, the
war. The purpose of the article was to explaio to our readers objectively
the reason
WHY
the United States government entered, and remained in the
war through four adminístrr.tions- two Republican and two Democratic.
Hundreds had told us they did not understand THE REhSON for United
States participation. A box accompanying the article quoted an army nurse
in Vietnam, saying,
"lf 1 knew what we are fighting for ... 1 don'l know
why
we'r~
here.
So many G I's ask
WHY.
1 can't answer!"
Even now (July 6
Los Angeles Times,
front page) the son of a retired
U. S.
Lt.
General, who lost both legs in the war, is reported saying he had
never received a satisfactory answer to the question, ''\Xfhat did those
50,000
men die for?"
The PLt.JN TRUTH knew that four Presidents and their administrations
- two Republican and two Democratic- did believe the nation had a real
reason for being in. We felt it our duty to MAKE PLt.IN to millions of
readers the UNDERSTANDING of that reason. We did not express either
approval or disapproval. We took no partisan stand. We made clear the
reason why four administrations of the government believed the Uoited
States should have been in it. We merely published the
FACTS!
We nre gmteful that rnillions now UNDERSTAND.
