Correcting the Record on Tet, and more

Daddy, did you spend the war shoveling s**t in Louisiana?

Thus causing a leftist teacher shortage I can't call mine a one man mission, because there are legions of us pissed off  by erstwhile dope smoking hippies turned academics, who've  manhandled the truth about the anti-war 60's-70's. To wax poetic, I am a thread in that particular bolt of American tapestry.  I went  from student to soldier, to student again, to husband and father toiling in the work force.  I lived in five states from Colorado to Maryland.  I know that the American people wanted Lyndon Johnson to bomb the rice field dikes in North Vietnam, sending it into economic ruin for a generation; and  turning Ho's insurgents into an army of cup holding beggars.  I know there was a prevailing sentiment  for the gummint to flood the hippie drug market with cyanide laced heroin and poisoned pot.  I know that Americans thought  Archie Bunker was "the man," and Meathead a despicable liberal turd.  I know the public wanted arrested hippie protesters hauled to DC Stadium where wild animals would eat them.  I experienced the visceral anger over networks shilling for the peaceniks on the evening "news." I know that the public wanted Jane Fonda hanged, and draft evaders jailed. Was there anyone (who bathed that week) who didn't want Walter Cronkite fired for his post-Tet "we lost" statement?"  I never met them.  I was in the majority. The way majority.  Which is why The Truth about Vietnam: Correcting the Record on Tet gives me a nuclear boner.
