In his 1967 speech on the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King Jr. uses the term "crippled" to emphasize the profound and lasting impact of the war on both individuals and society. This word conveys a deeper sense of permanent damage and immobility, highlighting how the war dehumanizes and stifles potential. By choosing "crippled" over "hurt" or "held back," King underscores the severity of the consequences of war, not just for soldiers but for the entire nation, reinforcing his call for peace and justice.

The preamble itself is not a speech but rather an introductory statement in a document, most famously the Preamble to the United States Constitution. It outlines the fundamental purposes and guiding principles of the Constitution.

On April 4, 1967, exactly a year before his death, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "Beyond Vietnam" speech. The speech, regarded by some as a symbol of King's developing radicalism, attacked America's foreign policy in Vietnam as a waste of dollars, leadership, and energy. These resources, King argued, could have been more effectively marshalled towards a progressive domestic agenda. The war, King argued, was "taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem." As for those fighting the war, however, King's speech revealed a concern for the blood shed by American GI's, a palatable mainstream notion.Carmichael's treatment of the Vietnam war began on the same ideological foundations of wasted resources but veered a bit from King's argument. Unlike King's speech, delivered to a crowd of black and white clergy members, Carmichael's most publicly shared his commentary on Vietnam in the provocative Black Powerspeech and his address at the Huey Newton birthday rally. The audience for Carmichael, as it often was throughout his life, was not white media, government elites, or organized religion, but black men and women. The differences in context and ideology between King and Carmichael are revealed in three main characteristics of the latter's rhetoric: the description of the root causes of the war, the way the activist dealt with American military personnel fighting in Vietnam , and in his support for the Vietcong
