In retrospect drafting kids to send them to Viretnsm was IDIOTIC. Hard to believe conservatives were all-in on that stupidity. Not that supporting the South Vietnamese was wrong, but compelling young Americans to go and fight definitely was.
I heard that many conservatives did oppose sending Americans to Vietnam...? I don’t know... Anyway...
People tend to think of older boomers as hippies. Sometimes we forget that older boomers were the ones sent to Vietnam, and many of them didn’t even wait to be drafted - they enlisted. They were the young men being spit on and heckled when they returned from war.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that the Antifa types don’t represent all of the younger generation, either. Wondering how many of the police officers and federal agents being attacked are “millennials.”
