They focused on what they called "soft targets," unarmed civilians and peasant settlements.
Before the speech, Leonard Magruder, founder and co-director of Vietnam Veterans for Academic Reform, distributed literature that presented an opposing view to Linder's.

"But who makes the people in Nicaragua carry guns?" If civilians arm themselves for protection, they're legitimate targets. If the contras would stop killing civilians, they wouldn't carry arms."
