That is correct.

"Camil now proposed the assassination of the most hard-core conservative members of Congress, as well as any other powerful, intractable opponents of the antiwar movement - the ones who would rather die than see America suffer a military defeat in Vietnam. Fine, let them die, suggested Camil - in fact, help them along in that direction and once they were cleared out of the way, a truly democratic America could arise, one that would choose to be at peace with the rest of the world."

Another thing that seems to be conveniently forgotten about the VVAW, was that they didn't limit their hatred of America to the war in Vietnam. They hated the US for its racism, sexism, genocide of Indians, capitalism--and much much more.

This is often overlooked in even Kerry's speeches. He even touched on these topics in his "testimony" before the Senate. The Vietnam war was just the starting point. By this time it was clearly winding down. So they needed to transfer their hatred onto other subjects.
