Since Hippies are almost always mocked on this board, is that really justified? What were the positive and negative aspects and consequences of that era?
A lot of "hippies" are now dyed in the wool conservative. Ahhh the idealism of youth.
Try using logic and understanding of the over-all! Otherwise your foolishness just adds to the justification that something got lost in the understanding of life and society responsibility from the '60's on.
The only thing we ever protected in Viet Nam was the incomes of the munitions manufacturers and the political fortunes of a few.
May all of those who were at the top driving and promoting that war rot in the bottom of hell along with LBJ and Nixon.
BS, really? Wait until you are locking your doors and loading your guns in order to fend off the invaders. It could happen with attitudes like you have professed.
Hey, I hear ya, dude!
What's to protect Americans from an American invasion of America?

YES! ABSOLUTE, UTTER BS!
Vietnam was NEVER a threat to the US, if you buy into that fear-mongering "we have to fight them over there or they'll be over here" BS it's your problem, not mine. I'll be loading my guns to protect myself from the lying SOBs selling that tripe.
Funny that many will have you believe we somehow 'lost' that war yet the only Vietnamese I see in my neighborhood are delivering take-out.

Seriously, dude? Vietnam was never about protecting the US from Communism. It was just wrapped up in a pretty red white and blue package to sell to the American Public.
Well, better to have our boys fighting over there than over here.
I wonder why the conservatives don't claim this.
Because at that time the conservative believed in the "Domino Theory"; if Viet Nam falls to the communists, it will be one Southeast Asian country after another.
