Ya.....I've always wondered that about my parents generation: why are they the "Anti-War Generation?".  My father was attending Berkeley during the "Freedom of Speech" movement.  He wasn't the only one there who thought it was "a bunch of bologna" (strong words coming from my Focus On the Family/missionary father). 

Calling them the "Anti War Generation" is pretty disingenuous and agenda-motivated:  the name should not frame the minority.

I agree, especially when so many (something on the level of 2 million over the entire course of the war) were sent to fight there. Another couple of million served during the Vietnam era but never were sent. It is unfortunate that the actual minority of that aged population garnered so much attention. And that they were allowed to disrespect men and women in uniform the way they did.
