Why do former Vietnam protestors not protest the current war
Response to the following question:
The war in Vietnam exerted crucial influence over the presidential election of 1968. Americans were increasingly concerned with the mounting numbers of United States servicemen killed or wounded in Southeast Asia and with the political unrest that the war was causing at home, especially on college campuses. In addition, deficit spending to pay for the war caused the national debt to skyrocket at an alarming rate raises a question.
If part of the issue was deficit spending, an unpopular war, etc., why are we not seeing college campus uproars and protests in the street today over Iraq and Afghanistan and now Libya?
Is it possible those on the left who protested during Vietnam have who they want in office today?
