No no no.

The Right opposed intervention in WWII BEFORE Pearl Harbor, the American First Committee and all that.

In Vietnam, Nixon was elected to pull all troops out of Vietnam, which he did. He also by-and-large ended the war by 1973, with just financial support to the S. Vietnamese Gov’t after that point. A vindictive New Left pulled the plug on that. But in ‘68, the establishment Democrats were not anti-war.

The far left media, universities, etc drove the anti war issue during viewnam and are doing the same now.
After the fall of Siagon over 100,000 Viewnamese including their President were brought to San Diego and later thousands more here.

You folks in flyover country don’t have a clue when it comes to the wars.
I live in San Diego which has the largest amount of military in the world here, mainly Marines and Navy.

Besides my ancestors fighting in wars even before the Rev. War. and Civil War. and WWI
My dad was with the 1st Marine Div. in WWII and Korea
along with other relatives
Relatives in ViewNam and several relatives in the current war.

I said AFTER Pearl Harbor. We were not threatened significantly prior to that. FDR was anti WWII before Pearl Harbor. Youre theory is incorrrect.

In Vietnam, Nixon’s hand was FORCED by the anti war crowd, just as they are trying to do to Bush. Difference is Bush has more balls and no Kissinger wormetongue whispering in his ear.

SOrry charlie. Your history is not so good.
