Lyndon B Johnson understood that the public opinion had turned against the war due to its horrific portrayal/
Explanation:
Johnson understood that the public opinion had been against the Vietnam war partly because it was the first war that was so largely televised in the world and seen by the people across the country as something that the nation should not be involved in.
in this address where he says that the nation is going to get out of the war was also rife with a disappointment.
The people had understood finally the atrocity of a needless war and had turned against the agenda of the bureaucracy.
(We believe that all men are created equal. Yet many are denied equal treatment.)
We believe that all men have certain unalienable rights. Yet many Americans do not enjoy those rights.
(We believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty. Yet millions are being deprived of those blessings)—not because of their own failures, but because of the color of their skin.
The reasons are deeply imbedded in history and tradition and the nature of man. We can understand—without rancor or hatred—how this all happened.
But it cannot continue. (Our Constitution, the foundation of our Republic, forbids it.) The principles of our freedom forbid it. Morality forbids it. And the law I will sign tonight forbids it.
That law is the product of months of the most careful debate and discussion. It was proposed more than one year ago by our late and beloved President John F. Kennedy. It received the bipartisan support of more than two-thirds of the Members of both the House and the Senate. An overwhelming majority of Republicans as well as Democrats voted for it.
