John Simpson commented on this video
Dr King's sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church (April 30,1967) is one of the most prophetic speeches against the folly and futility of war, in which innocents die and those serving in the Armed Forces are de-humanised and their souls destroyed by the brutality of it all.

The speech is in the context of Vietnam War but it encompasses the whole concept of War. Same can be applied to the "War on Terror". In my opinion, these impassioned words is even more relevant in context of the so-called "War on Terror".
