The Evolving Meaning of War

I was still angry when I got out of the military. This was 1967 and the peace movement was big. I was in college and I would get angry with the student marchers, groups, and stuff like that. There were still soldiers over there and I know that it hurt them to watch that, to see the news and all of that. Now looking back as I said before I admire the marchers. At the time I was seeing them from my viewpoint, a patriot and they were seeing the war from their viewpoint, “this is all wrong.” So looking back now I admire those people who at the time had more insight into that situation than I did at the time. It was wrong.

I certainly understand his anger at the peace marchers. He had just returned home and the experience of Vietnam with its wounded and dead was fresh in his mind. He could relate to all the men who were still in Vietnam and whose lives were on the line while these guys protested from the safety of their own country. Again this quote shows the evolution of his thinking about war with time. It is quite a turn around in his thinking.
