Political views
Robert D. Linder is known for speaking out against war profiteering. With Richard Peirard and Robert Clouse, Linder edited two significant books that spoke against conservative evangelical politics generally and the Vietnam war specifically. "The immorality and corruption of the South Vietnamese government, combined with lessons from history about futility of waging a land war in Asia" convinced Linder that the war was both wrong and an "impossible situation".
