From the "Protracted Conflict" column some harsh criticism of the young Vietnam-era generation: "Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon -- this is their unforgivable crime -- cheated them out of their war. You can't count this dreary police action/ business-as-usual/no uniform during off duty hours/no parades or austerity/or anyone can slip out of it by just signing up for college -- you can't count that as your war. (Though, significantly enough, few of the ones who have actually fought in it are among the militant dissenters.)" Read the piece here.
