Quote by John Fitzgerald Kennedy

I dont think that unless a greater effort is made by the Government to win popular support that the war can be won out there. In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones who have to win it or lose it. We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisers, but they have to win it, the people of Viet-Nam, against the Communists.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of the Vietnamese government gaining popular support in order to win the war against the Communists. It suggests that external assistance, such as equipment and advisers, can be provided, but success ultimately depends on the people of Vietnam actively participating and taking ownership of the conflict. The quote implies that victory or defeat cannot solely rely on external involvement, but rather hinges on the determination and efforts of the local populace to overcome the Communist threat.
