Heard this yesterday for the second time. I was 8 when he made it, and I remember my parents discussing it, though I didn't know its significance. What an articulate leader he was! It is as relevant today as it was then. Our soldiers who are sent to war (even in this undeclared war), are not sent to win.
The speech is lengthy, but listen just the same. How different the mindset of the people then.
Listen. You will understand.
