I have nothing against protesting against policies you are against. That is the American way of life according to our Constitution. But Vietnam War protesters were of a different breed then most. People like Elise not only blamed the politicians and the military leadership but also the grunt soldiers who did the fighting. I was just a kid back then but I got letters from buddies who moved back to the states. They were saying that protesters, their kids even teachers were calling their dads.."war criminals" and those who fell in Vietnam were mocked at. The sheer viciousness of Elise and her protester friends astounded me. They were truly a breed apart, sitting pretty on their college campuses, judging the men and women who were drafted to served their nation in honor. I saw an episode of NCIS once, Mark Harmon's character gave a line I wholly agree with, "I may not support the war, but I do support the men and women who fight it". That is the American way I hope.
