Besides the Rioting, Looting, and typical Democrat associated Human tragedies, and destruction of their own Constituencies in the 60s, America also in earnest learned how to turn against its own Protectors and Defenders, the American Military.
1968 was also the year of the Tet Offensive. The most miserable and deadly part of the Viet Nam War.
That was all capped off when the Democrat led American Senate refused to ratify the Paris Peace Accords in 1974, thus completely voiding and nullifying everything the American Military sacrificed during the Viet Nam War years.
That was also when America truly learned how to fight Wars they should never have fought, and how to turn tail and capitulate to the Enemies America has fought over these past decades. That capitulation has cost a lot of American Military Blood, Sweat, and Sacrifices being rendered null and void by America, itself.
1968 was also the year when much of this decline you see today in America seriously got started. Democrats have played a significant role in America's regression and decline ever since.
Republicans were not much different back then from what they are today. They, too, have plenty of blame in all this History of America.
Afghanistan was the latest such pointless War when Biden turned tail and capitulated to the Taliban. Everyone saw how that went.
This current American Third World Lawless and Immoral Society is part and parcel of America's decline since 1966, both here in America, and around the World.
Those of us who lived through all this American History have our stories to tell. But, no one listens or cares.
Imagine what we Veterans think about the current events around this Country today? Many who followed our generation learned a great deal about the Tribes of the Middle East, and America's involvement with them.
When will America capitulate to Hamas and Iran? Seems that is already underway, doesn't it?
Who is protecting and defending America now? Think about all the recent Polls and Surveys in the last year or two about the importance of American Citizenship and Patriotism?
Now, American college campuses are in turmoil because of Terrorist Supporters and Sympathizers who claim to be Americans. Some are our own elected Politicians.
"Death to America" and "Death to Israel" chanted by Americans. Really?
Oh! BTW. I am, today, designated as an "American Terrorist" simply because I am a White, Christian, Conservative Male who happens to be an American Veteran.
I call the Labels I received in the 60s and today's Label the "Bookends of my Adult Life" as an American Patriot.
Yes, 1968 was a pivotal year in American History, indeed!
