Almost 9.5 boomer men served, and by no means was it all about Vietnam since Vietnam ended before many boomers were even of age to serve.
If you didn't serve, then that would indeed separate you from millions of boomer males.
” and by no means was it all about Vietnam”
That depends what you mean by “it”...
My post (it) refers only to the time specific to the Vietnam war and the remainder of the 1970’s and how all of that was going on when I was too young to have any real involvement.
I worked as a civilian one-year temp with the Army during Desert Storm (GS-9) and as I recall it, there was no significant public anti-war sentiment and for all intents and purposes, we won that war as it was intended to be waged.
I am not offended by your assertion that I am by proxy of never having served as an enlisted regular or reservist, separated from “millions of boomer males”.
BTW, I think you meant to say 9.5 million...Or was that 9.5 BILLION served? Whatever it is, it’s a whole lotta hamburger.
