Sign of...how utterly ineffective the anti-war movement was. If you disagree with government policy, vote for officials who agree with you or put on your suit and turn in an application to work in government yourself and change it from within. Opposing the system is counterproductive and stupid. Be the system.
Pretty much. The antiwar movement of this nature was tiny. It's interesting to see how much public perception of the approval/disapproval of the Vietnam War has changed since the war actually took place; people always associate the 1960's with "Flower Power" and hippies, yet in 1968
61% of Americans were self-reported "hawks" (compared to 21% calling themselves "doves").
