Kent State memories rekindled By WILLIAM F. AST III, St. Joseph Herald Palladium, MI
Many Americans supported the Vietnam War through most of the 1960s, though it became increasingly unpopular as the fighting wore on and casualties and costs mounted. By 1970, America had become split over the war, a division the likes of which the country had not seen since the Civil War.
Some see parallels in the current division in the country over the war in Iraq.
Many (though not all) conservative and older Americans felt the Vietnam War protesters were tantamount to traitors, and by their actions were providing support to the Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers who were killing their sons. And many (though not all) liberal and younger Americans felt the war was wrong, that Americans and Vietnamese were being killed for nothing, that the war was being prolonged by rabid politicians and corporations greedy for war profits.------------------------------------------- posted 6:55 AM :: reference link ::
