Reflection Questions

What are the casualties of the Vietnam War that Dr. King describes?

Dr. King states that the physical casualties of the Vietnam War should be enough to make everyone oppose the war. Why do you think it was important to him to detail the casualties of principles and values as well? What effect do you think this tactic might have had on the audience?

Dr. King argues that peace cannot be created through the use of war and violence, and he calls for a shift from an arms race to a “peace race.” What do you think a “peace race” could look like? What is one concrete action that could be taken to create peace along the lines Dr. King calls for?

Name one war that the United States has engaged in since the Vietnam War. Which of the casualties that Dr. King listed might also be true for this more recent war? Explain your reasoning.
