At the beginning of he war and up to early 1968, America seemed to accept the cost and sacrifices as a legitimate halt to communist expansion.

However, as the conflict dragged on - and casualties increased as did draft numbers, a large part of the population became un-supportive of the war.

Because 1969 was a presidential election year, political rhetoric grew on both sides of the war effort, and further deteriorated the public resolve to support the effort to stop communism in southeast Asia.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
