The Drive-By Media always likes to portrait veterans-turned-Leftist as the norm.
The Vietnam War opposition movement was led by Communists who WANTED the North Vietnamese Communists to Win over South Vietnam. It was not led by “disillusioned” soldiers who asked “what are we fighting for”.
Hanoi Jane, Jerry Rubin, et al were proud of their associations with Communist leaders. Jane Fonda said we’d all want to live under Communism if we only understood what it was.
The Vietnam antiwar movement was outright treason against the United States engaged in an active war. Siding with the enemy in word and in deed. Undercutting our elected government’s policies, meeting with the enemy, and in the case of Kerry’s group, targeting the assassination of elected members of Congress.
