Transcription
I'm a Vietnam veteran, one of the lucky ones. I didn't have to kill or be killed, but some of my friends, unfortunately, weren't that lucky. Because of them, I've worked hard in Congress for arms control, for peace, for a strong bargaining position with the Russians. To get a lasting peace, a verifiable peace, we need a president with the commitment, the understanding, the knowledge of how to do it. I believe no other Democrat running for president has the experience to make that fight.
