To the editor:
I served during the Vietnam campaign under the command of President Johnson. I would have wished that more Americans would have stood up and said no before 58,000 young men and women lost their lives. Like the war in Iraq, Americans were lied into submitting their approval without knowing the full truth. I stand with the pope on this issue.
