15. I remember the sixties, then we had a corrupt Administration
and a war like today. The difference was people took to the streets and forced the government to get out of Vietnam. I lived in Arlington Virginia at the time about 1/2 million people stormed the Pentagon, DC was a city under siege, there were tanks by the hundreds on the streets. Now people just sit back and bitch, I think if we still had the draft things would be different. Myself at the time I was drafted and would have gone to Vietnam if I had to. I was young and believed all the BS about the Domino Theory.
