Chairman Demands Apology
- Calling it “a slap in the
face to those of us who
served during the Vietnam
War,” a former POW in
Vietnam and Chairman of
Veterans for Alex McMill
an, a.RepublicanjCongres
sional candidate, Quincy
Collins, has called upon
-Congressional candiifetP
Carl “Buddy” Horn “to
publicly apologize to Viet
nam veterans for his in
sulting remarksabout join
ing the anti-war movement
to protect his own hide.”
“Buddy Horn came right
out and admitted that he
joined the anti-war move
ment because he didn’t
want to be ‘sacrificed,'”
Collins said. “What an in
sult to our boys who
fought so bravely in Viet
nam and to the families of
those who sacrificed their
lives in the name of free
dom. If every American
took Mr. Horn’s approach,
we wouldn’t have a na
tional defense at all.”
Horn, in an interview
published April 20, said,
“The anti-war movement,
face it, had a lot of self
interest. I didn’t want to be
a sacrifice for a political
contest in Southeast Asia,
and I’m still not sure I
would.”
Collins was a prisoner of
war for seven and one
half years in Vietnam, and
retired from the Air Force
in 1974 after a 21-year
career. Collins pointed out
that McMillan, a life long
Republican served two
years with Army Intelli
gence in Europe.
Horn has no military ex
perience.
“This is only the latest
evidence that Horn is a
man who changes his phi
losophical stripes like a
chameleon—to suit his per
sonal objectives at any
given moment,” Collins
said, recalling that Horn
had voted for George Mc
_ Govern and. Jimmy Carter _
and had ngyer been actiye
in the North Carolina Repu
who puts himself befdfe his
country is not fit to sit in
the United States Congress.
J His ~ attitude was - -and
apparently remains - self
serving.”
“Buddy Horn’s question
ing of the Vietnam War is
not the issue here today. I,
too, question the war and
very nearly paid the ul
timate price. While Carl
Horn was experimenting
with transcendental medi
tation and protesting the
war in Vietnam, I was a
prisoner of war in Vietnam
and was paying the price
for experimenting with pa

“As a f(Miner POW, I
always suspected that the
anti-war movement was
based less, on,principles
andmore.on self-interest,.”,.
Collins added. “Buddy

I think Carl Horn owes an
apology to every American
who has ever made a per
sonal sacrifice to serve his
country.”
