I'm pleased that you said "some."
It was a very complex time.
I also said four years ago that I saw a lot of parallels between this conflict and Vietnam. I still do.
And this situation is complex as well.
An understatement.

Certainly; I wouldn't characterize everyone by the actions of a few.
I understand it was a complex time; it was certainly complex when my dad, who had served his country for a year overseas, returned home at the age of 21 and was greeted with taunts as a "baby-killer" and other similar chants. I understand some protests were peaceful, but there were others that were not, that targeted the soldiers who fought.
I'm glad to see that most of the protests today do not repeat those mistakes.
