Agreed.
I think part of it comes from our spending so much of our lives now in (often governmnet run!) institutions finely segregated by age—from day care to, well, day care.
We used to have more intergenerational ease and interaction.

The US won the Tet offensive.
However, then, as now, that result did not fit the media narrative; so we were led to believe that it was a crushing defeat which, in turn, intensified calls for withdrawal and ensured that the whole of Viet Nam would go communist.

“I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boom and I was 7 years old in 1968.”
And I was at the head end, turning 22 a week after returning from RVN. I will tell you, some of the best men (and boys) I have ever known were my fellow soldiers I knew in country. I turn 70 this week and I still wear a Vietnam Veteran hat proudly most everywhere I go. The recognition I get from young people is very gratifying and I often find myself BS-ing with “friends” I never knew from back in that time. It’s a bond of comradeship that will never die until the last of us is gone.
Hard to say. Were any of them black?
My response would have been (and has been) "You say that like it's a bad thing!" ;'}
My mom was seriously talking about moving to Australia to get away from the street violence and so that her sons would never be drafted.
This sort of talk upset my dad very much.
Though from our house you could see smoke rising from the part of town that was burning.
No, I say that cause I’ve learned that in order to even try to breakthrough the leftist worldview, we need to be A88holes.
We need to force them to begin to accept things that are true, but are in conflict with what they think is true.
I’m an A88hole because I make people around me “Think”.
I get attacked all the time and I don’t care.
“Common Vietnam War Myths Dispelled:”
Many examples of MSM lies, taken as gospel. All started by Uncle Walt and minions. May they burn in hell.
“In ‘68 I was 14 going on 15, and not in control of much at all other than my homework.”
Yep. I was 10 in ‘68. All I really remember clearly is getting most of my news from Mad Magazine. My mother tried not to let us watch Uncle Walt and Huntley/Brinkley much, as we were mostly too young. I thought “What in the hell is wrong with the rest of the country?” We didn’t have any sort of the turmoil depicted in the national news.
I couldn’t figure out what all the Vietnam War protests were about. Nearly all the men that I knew that went to Vietnam were honorable, responsible family men, working men (including my father; Naval/SeaBee Reserves). The rest of the country seemed nuts to me. Still seems that way...
I was rooting for St. Louis because it's closer to Whittier, Calif. than Detroit.
