Tim, thanks for your post. It is hard to try to figure out a particular mindset in hindsight....usually hard enough to figure out some mindsets in the present moment, let alone after the fact. You may have been closer to Lane3 and Euterpe thoughts, but for those like Sheehan or Kerry, etc, I deduce theirs are just automatic fallback into the VietNam days and anything and everything was "anti--" There were no suggestions that were positive...just negatives. Young people like me were against VietNam as well, but for entirely different reasons than pure rebellion for the sake of rebellion. We wanted to have the Government fully support the war, if war had to be. We wanted our troops to have the best equipment and weapons available. They didn't have those things. They didn't even have enough bullets or equipment to do much of anything. We didn't want "nuance" even thought most of us didn't realize at the time that it was "nuance" we were dealing with from Johnson's Government... And now hindsight has reminded us that "nuance" cost over 55,000 of our young men and women their lives.
