"different ball game altogether, in comparison to the current mideast conflicts."

About 20 - 30 US white college kids from well off families, decided that they did not like the US murdering thousands of Vietnamese civilians, and started to do something about it. A lot of similarities between many things, actually... but you need to analyse beneath the surface...

Interesting that most of them were never able to be brought to trial, because the FBI had broken so many laws... the lessons learnt there have not been forgotten, Gitmo, and 'foreign rendering' for a start... :-)
