Subject: RE: Vietnam war demos by soldiers DOCU
So I'm STILL wondering - what would be the chances of THAT level (as documented in the film "Sir! No Sir!") of resistance TODAY from within the American Armed Forces???
Considering, as I said, the aftermath of 9-11 and the subsequent removal of many civil liberties ...
OR is there just a basic difference in the composition of the actual Forces personnel - because of there not being a drafting/conscription from the general public anymore???
OK, so the 60s are long gone, I guess ...
