I can remember those days of early 1970, I was actively protesting the Vietnam War. In fact my college went on Moritorium in the spring of 1970 because of the war protests. So I hope you understand that the college protests of that time were happening because we feared for our friends, brothers, cousins, neighbors, classmates etc. who were going to fight in that awful war.
Our anger and our protests were never, ever about the guys who were doing the fighting and making the sacrifices. It was always about the illegal and unfair, undemocratic actions of the US government in creating and protracting that conflict. Make no mistake, it was Dems as well as Repukes so I'm not playing politics here. I'll never forgive Nixon or LBJ for Vietnam. I knew guys who went there, and most of them came back. A few didn't. But everyone was changed by that awful war.
Thank you ....
