A point that has stuck with me was if 18 year olds were going to be second guessed afterwards for their conduct maybe they shouldn't be there in the first place. Which is how even 'hawkish' war supporters were voicing doubts about continuing the war, IMO.
18 year old's were often mature enough to burn their draft cards and refuse to kill people that were doing them no harm. I can't put myself in their shoes as I was 15 when the Vietnam war ended. I did have plans to go see my family in Quebec if it continued though.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
