Answer:

Martin Luther King (1929-1968) argued that the U.S. was "adding cynicism to the process of death" because American troops on Vietnam were not really fighting for what was said they were.

Step-by-step explanation:

For King, the Vietnam war was a Vietnamese question with which America had nothing to do with. He also believed that this war wasn't about freedom but about keeping the wealth of a few. Americans were thus becoming cynical because they were being forced to fight a senseless and unjust war.
