A "knee-jerk" anti-war movement? The Vietnam war lasted 15 years (25 years
if you count the advisors sent in the 50's), about ten years longer than
WWII. The war started while I was a young child playing with toys in my
backyard and I was able to join the military as a young adult before the war
ended. Any response in the latter years of that war (the period with the
most wide-spread peace movement) could hardly be described as "knee-jerk."
