We were far better educated, and our positions on both sides were far better informed, without smartphones and the internet.
Most young men when drafted served as required, including many that opposed the war. Personally I respect those vets very much.
Whether right or wrong, we sent 58000+ to their deaths.
The current generation would probably cry, whine, send instagrams, dye their hair, claim they belonged in the opposite genders' clothing, claim ADD, etc.
