DETROIT — “Like the Winter Soldiers of 1776 — who stayed after they had served their time — we veterans of Vietnam know that America is in grave danger. What threatens our country is not Red Coats, nor even Reds. It is our crimes that are destroying our national unity by separating those of our country who deplore these acts from those of our countrymen who refuse to examine what is being done in America’s name.”
