About This Quote
No one warrior, no protestor, no member of the silent majority walked away from the Vietnam war unscathed. When we hear the term "warrior", we often think of someone who is fearless and brave. They are the ones often recommended for bravery awards. Such honors are given to people like Chris Kyle, a sniper in the US Navy SEALs, who was awarded several medals for bravery during his time in Iraq.
We also hear of protests where people are asking for something to be changed or done differently. While that’s fine, if no one is willing to work towards these changes then nothing will change. Not everyone involved in the Vietnam war was seeking peace, but many were willing to fight for it.
The silent majority were those who were not protesting but still knew there was something wrong about the Vietnam War.
