About this Quote

Robert Vaughn's quote talks to his guts and conviction in taking a stand against the Vietnam War. At a time when many people were either in support of the war or remained silent, Vaughn was the very first Hollywood actor to openly oppose it. His opposition to the war was most likely rooted in his own personal beliefs and values, and he wanted to risk his career and track record to speak out against it. His quote acts as a suggestion of the power of individual action and the value of standing up for what one believes in, even in the face of opposition. It also functions as a tip of the importance of speaking up against oppression and injustice, no matter how unpopular the opinion may be.
