Those were very sad times in America. I worked in Washington D. C. when he anti-war protestors attempted to disrupt the government. I walked from Georgetown to our offices (National Endowment for the Arts) on "K" street one morning, and witnessed young Americans waving Viet Cong flags, and burning the American flag on the streets of Georgetown. Cars were turned over and set afire, young people rented Hertz trucks, and drove down the streets sweeping broken glass into the streets. Attempts were made to torch government buildings. Over 10,000 people were arrested and held in John F. Kennedy Stadium until things settled down. Frankly, as I walked the two or three miles through the rioting crowds of young people, I wouldn't have wanted to be dressed in a military uniform.
