[Miss Marple]

What about people who served in the regular Army, Air Force, or Marines but were not assigned to Viet Nam? What about people who went for specialties like Russian language school, so that they would get to go to Europe? What about people who enlisted in the Navy, knowing that they would probably not be on the ground in Viet Nam? What about National Guard people who were sent to Viet Nam, even though they didn't want to go? What about people who served in Viet Nam and came home to demonstrate and undermine the war effort?

Former president George H.W. Bush certainly will be the last World War II veteran to be elected president, and given the historic antiwar sentiments of the baby boomers....

There it is. The writer's bias. As I remember it, the vast majority of "baby boomers" supported the war until close to the end.

Even then, it was Johnson's HANDLING OF THE WAR, not the war itself, which repulsed us.
