QUESTION 37 As MLK matured as an intellectual and Christian pastor, he came to understand the issues of race, class and militarism to be intertwined. Thus, he became passionately and vocally opposed to the US war in Vietnam... Which of the following does not accurately describe a basis for this? The war consumed the economic resources needed for investment in the social uplift and anti-poverty programs at home. He had lost his love of America & faith in its revolutionary origins & the high ideals of its founding He deemed his own government to be the greatest purveyor of violence in the world & a hypocrite in setting this example & expecting the American people to use non-violence to solve their problems. O The war drafted mostly poor & working class people, disproportionately black and brown. A nation that invests itself year after year in militarism and non-defensive war rather than the uplift of its own people risks spiritual death.
