I watched parts of it and while they give the “official” NVA side the it surprised me how they slammed the “peace movement”

It said the peaceniks didn’t grow until the lower classes run out of warm bodies and blacks started to grumble about their losses. This meant the college aged middle class started getting drafted and they didn’t want to go.

It wasn’t so much “anti war” as “don’t mess with my lifestyle” protest.

Boy wasn’t that something?

I was and never will be a fan of the black panthers...but you could understand why the black community was pissed.

I was just a baby back then, so I never caught on to any of that.
