You mean the commie invasion that occurred in the 60s and 70s
Well, that, and “peace, love, dope” ruled the day for many—especially the ‘beatniks’ and hippies. We sacrificed 50,000+ people in Viet Nam and let Iranians take our Embassy staff without consequence. We disengaged from gold as a currency and yet, supported Israel in the 6-Day war. We gave up the Panama Canal to the Communist Chinese and stood in gas lines—twice. We abandonned our economy to foreign interests and abandonned the practice of praying to God everyday before school started. We made abortion legal.
Communism was only part of all this, as were the riots in the 60s, the assassinations—including of a President, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and the Viet Nam war itself.
Then, there was the moon race and the walk on the moon.
That era was a truly wild ride. Very, very few came out unscathed. I am in that group, and I have the scars to prove it.
