Protesters, Protest... Remember Vietnam Protesters

Its been 45 years since the war ended in Vietnam. Remember all the protesting that was happening during the Vietnam war. Why did the protesting stop? One major incident was the tragedy at Kent State where four student protesters were killed and nine were wounded by the State National Guard. Then in 1973 suddenly everything stopped, with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. Now, we have protesting invaders from south of the boarder. How about drawing up Peace Invasion Plan Accords with those countries involved with the USA Invasion?

They will stop invading after we stop giving free stuff once they get here . Make any felony committed by an illegal a capital offense and send them off to Cuba pending any trial or appeals.

You need to buy a better history book: they weren’t « protests » during Vietnam - they wer pro-enemy actions, led by the Communist Party USA.

The twits that made up the numbers were those who wanted to avoid combat or the family members who wanted to keep their men out of combat.

When Nixon ended the draft, the commies were left standing by themselves.

The lottery draft took a lot of the bogus urgency out of the anti-war movement. Also as is pointed out by a poster draft calls fell very steeply. By1972 the anti-war movement boasted many generals without armies to lead. The late December 72 bombings brought out large crowds in NYC and SF but nothing like the constant demonstration drumbeat of 69-71.

The Trump administration should draw up plans for the invasion of Honduras and leak them to the Washington Post.

Let those cabrones know we mean business.

I remember, a month before the draft ended there was an endless supply of protesters. A month after, good luck trying to find five protesters. Kent State did not stop anyone.
