I was in my 20s - married, raising a young family, going to school.
I NEVER believed the anti-war crap - BUT I wasn't proactive enough in favor of our guys - I am sorry for that. Although I was always respectful of our guys in uniform - lived near a major military post - so saw them all the time - I never bad mouthed them behind their backs and I was disgusted by the whole hippie scene.
My thinking was "oh, nobody believes this stuff" - forgetting that a bunch of young people would. Also didn't know that this cancer was about to take over the elementary and high schools to indoctrinate my children etc. (It took on one but not the other).
Same here.
I never understood what was in the minds of the 60's hippies, but I despised them, they were against everything I was working hard to achieve!
