Question for Boomers: was the liberal cryfest worse during vietnam or today?

Back in that day I somehow doubt you'd be standing with anti-weed conservatives that want to throw people in jail for partaking.:laugh:

The Dems thought weed was bad because the Mexicans brought it with them, and blacks used it to gain carnal knowledge (have sex with) of white women. Stand with who???
 
completely different.......the Vietnam protests began in the grassroots and it took the press years before it paid attention.........today its the press protesting and the public still isn't paying any attention........
 
Cryfest? WTF, We went across the globe to fight against a nation that was no threat to us at all. American soldiers were killed and wounded and we spent many billions of dollars fighting for what? IT was a stupid and wasteful war with no gain possible. Damn right Americans wept.
The problem is we learned no lessons.

Don't forget...kids had no choice. The draft made sure of that. Easy for today's children to comment about 'what was', when they don't count the days until they turn 18 and are forced to go off to war... as you mentioned...for absolutely no reason.
 
Vietnam protests weren't just "the kids" -in fact the more they grew over time ,
the more diverse and %total of the population grew with them
 
Back in the day they had some real issues and actual Russian intervention. Today they just keep losing and are having hissy fits.
