That crowd was a very small part of the anti-war movement. When I look back on the war, I remember that they did not really have as much of an impact as the casualty levels and the money required. I know in my home state of New Hampshire, the whole thing changed overnight. A company of National Guard from Manchester was activated, and on the second or third day of their arrival, fiftenn or twenty of them in a big truck ran over a tank mine, and it killed them all. Like I said, overnight. It just became less and less worth the cost - nobody knew what "winning" was supposed to look like.

Your argument is hard for me to fathom. The common man of Vietnam gave it to us up the ass.
