As a (reluctant) Baby Boomer, I’ve always found it hilarious that many of my generation cling to the erroneous belief that THEY “ended the Vietnam War” by protesting, marching, sitting-in, etc. Let’s put the height of Anti-War Movement activity in ’67? ’68? Or, being generous, ’69? Yet the American involvement in Vietnam didn’t end until 1973! You’d need an army of spin doctors to weave that into a ‘causal relationship’ over a span of 4+ years and 2 election cycles!
