37. Norman Morrison (ca. 1965) was crucified for all of us |
|
when he immolated himself outside McNamara's office to protest the Vietnam War.
If you read Vietnamese people's recollections of the times (in, for example, "Patriots"), you will see that Norman Morrison had a huge impact on the mind-set of Vietnamese people. Ho Chi Minh actually gave a speech where he alluded to Morrison to illustrate the distinction between the American people and the policies of the American government.
