It just doesn't seem like it was that long ago, but it is.

At that time, WWII and the Korean war seemed like ancient history to me, so I can understand why a lot of people now think of Nam being so long ago.
I was 9 in 69 when my dad's air guard unit deployed. Coming from a military family I remember the resentment from my mom/dad towards the protesters. Especially in the mid 70's when my sister turned into one of them.

Freaky time to grow up.
