The people responsible for the innocent kids who caught bullets were the damned rioters. They’d been tearing up that campus for weeks. They’d been given a lawful order to disperse and instead decided to start throwing rocks at men with loaded rifles.
Blaming the Guard for what happened is like blaming the IDF for the civilian casualties in Gaza. The SDS started the riot. They’re responsible for the dead and injured.
No one else.

( Peaceful coexistence with the Left is not possible. Stop pretending that it is.)
To: Locomotive Breath
You hit the nail on the head. Standard leftist tactic is to send in agent provocateurs to create a riot that forces the authorities to respond. Then hope that someone innocent is hurt so they can be turned into martyrs. Because sometimes innocents have to die in service of the revolution.Ive actually toured the site. And the kid that was our guide even mentioned this. Surprisingly she did not exclusively hammer the guard. She mentioned the radical groups that were shipping people in over the course of days.
Bus loads of Students for a Democratic Society, United Communist Party, Black United Society. But NOT the People’s Front Of Judea…..as they were splitters at the time, burned down the ROTC building.
Coward admin plus militant activists caused this event. It was a tragedy.

He is of the silent generation as most of the famous young people of the 60s were, including just about all the music.

I don’t buy that. In ‘65, Pete Townsend was too young to have been “messaging” people in who were born in the ‘30s, and with Keith Moon (b1947) as his drummer, The Who was not necessarily talking to me, but that doesn’t mean that the “silent” generation didn’t pick up on it.

I recall that day well. There was a bunch of us sitting in the NCO club at Arlington Hall Station in Northern Virginia. A news flash came on the TV describing the incident. There were about 20 or so of us in the room, most of us war vets. We all stood up and cheered the National Guard.
My views on the subject never changed.

My eldest daughter went 5o Kent; that was on3 of the major points along her tour or the campus. Always made me ill dealing with how those clowns treat it with reverence.

"Even though my views on such things have changed and morphed a lot in nearly 55 years.." Oh man, I'm a cluster of emotions. I graduated in '69, kicked around for a couple of years while doing a local college, joined the USN in '71. The deaths of those 4 college students was hard to take...couldn't imagine being their parents. I was proud of our flag, supported our military, was behind our government's war in Vietnam, still cry when I visit the Vietnam Memorial. I hated hippies and spit on protesters and draft-dodgers (figuratively). Now days, I've changed and classify myself as a war-protestor. While I wouldn't escape to Canada if I was called up for duty, I no longer support America's wars around the world. As for the music of that age...it was too good to turn my back on. I just had to separate the music from the politics of the music. Have a lot of that music on VINYL. Still ticked off that I didn't attend Woodstock.

It’s a joke that popped up in the mid-1930’s, phrased as a “Chinese curse.” Full length version:
May you live in interesting times,
And come to the attention of important people.

I imagine he was just trying to make money and lyrics, but he might have been thinking of the generation who made the 60s, and that was his generation and his peers.

The Guard shot too few, and the wrong ones to boot. Not a single SDS or other domestic terror leader was harmed.

“joined the USN in ‘71.”
I joined in ‘68—not sure yet where I was to be assigned.
Often played loudly around our base was, “We got to get outta this place if it’s the last thing we ever do”...
(Not that I can recall the group’s name). lol
