It's the same era that would have taken a different turn, had we listened more carefully after WWII. Had we been able to share Jack Kennedy's understanding of imperialism as he experienced it coming out of that war, learning from internationally observing what the hell was going on which we still don't talk about with any real depth.

War is Hell. War is a Racket. The poor always pay. In Vietnam, the price was shared by the draft, and the student deferment. Whoever looked the other way still hasn't heard the message.

They figured a way never to have a draft after Vietnam. It still serves few and industrializes the corporations further. Go ask Dick Fucking Cheney.
