I was thinking a bit about the differences between the 65+ generation and the Boomers!
I think the Vietnam War, and all associated with that era affected us quite differently, and did make some differences in how we see or how we are or SOMETHING!!
I was in the Air Force at the very beginning of our sending "advisors" to Vietnam. I got out in August of 1965, and some of the troops in our squadron had or were being sent to Vietnam.
But, in our eyes, at that time, the government was pretty much always right (except for the cockroaches in the dining hall).
Many of us thought that pot was a black thing on a cook stove.
We had survived the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Bay of Pigs and all that, and we still carried a desk around to duck under in case of nuclear attack, but, I posit, that we 65+'rs grew up in a quite different time.
Okay, now that I have opened that can of worms - any reactions?
