Well, yeah, that's true. But not in the sense that they beat us like we beat Germany and Japan.
We had no political will to carry on, therefore we quit and they won.
But yeah, we lost that one.

Ahh elementary school in the 70s. Where they taught you blasting caps were the most dangerous thing on the planet.

Nixon resigned from office before the full House could vote on the articles of impeachment.
Ok. Fine. Nixon resigned bc he would have been impeached for spying on the Democrats and then lying about it. Regardless- I think we can all agree that the episode was really embarrassing and took quite a toll on the public trust in the ofc of the president that had some fairly significant cultural repercussions.
Im just wondering how we lived thru the 70s and all the turmoil, and if things now are worse despite similar societal conditions. Bc they Feel worse. And ostensibly we have ppl setting shite on fire and shooting 8 yr olds bc of shite we’ve been aware of since the country started.

Wow a Democrat war started and then escalated by multiple Democrat presidents was a complete shite show with no clearly defined end game. Who would have guessed that?
Thank God Nixon got us out of there and more revisionist history that Vietnam was somehow Nixon's war.
The filth have been gas lighting us for decades.

-Stand for the pledge daily, because your grandparents made sure that you have it damn good here in this country.
-Eating paste is a bad idea.

OP I think a lot of the anger stems from the separation of ideas of males and females in this country. Divorce rates are high, birth rates are low. The next best partner or date is on an app on everyone's smart phone, or porn on the desktop, or in a lot of peoples mind nonexistent. These days people look for any reason they can find not to like another person or need to move on to the next. Expectations of the opposite gender are too high.
You see a prime example if you read these forums. Someone may start a good topic like you have, but 80% of the first couple pages of responses are smart allecs that just want to raise their post total or derail the thread in to an argument.

That was actually an apartment complex down the street from our embassy where US workers lived. It’s a common misconception though.

Hanging out with people who have the chicken pox was good, bc you can get the chicken pox over with
It was worse than acute appendicitis. I wish I had gotten chicken pox when I was younger like most other kids did.

Umm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that wasn't a draw.
It was more than a draw when American troops were still participating and multiple factors prevented victory including micro mgt from both LBJ and Nixon.

Our climate today has been artificially created to help usher in new changes that the communists in the country desire. Some people on left think they control a "genuine" campaign to do something good but they are not in control. Others think they are doing "good" but they are acting like "demonically possessed brats" and think killing people is good for the "cause". Get rid of the "karens" that were created by our media and our communist indoctrination system and this current climate doesn't exist.

No way. I saw Miss Saigon.
But seriously, thanks I did not know that piece of history.

Same here, Wednesday.
Politics were discussed but it was a topic most just gave a passing nod to then moved on.
Part of it, I think, is that we've created a society where subjective truth (a belief created based on an individual's feelings of how they believe things are) takes precedence over objective truth (a belief created based on contextual data, regardless of personal prejudice). This has led us to politics being a "team sport" where fandom is proven through outrage.
Sure, you had people protesting the Vietnam War, but once the war ended the vast majority of the protestors went home and continued on with life. Today we have professional agitators and professional protestors being used to foment outrage, make that outrage look larger than it is, maintain it then move that outrage from topic to topic in a perpetual series of protests.

The seventies is when it began with the school boards ruling for the taking of certain books out of elementary libraries.

I learned the three R’s in 70s elementary. Also learned from schoolhouse rock on Saturday mornings while watching awesome cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, the Laff Olympics and Fat Albert. 70s were great
