Fifty Years Ago -- 1968

[ThatOwlWoman]

[SIZE=3][B]1968, I graduated from signal school at Fort Gordon and was sent to Germany and later that year, I went to Vietnam!

I'm glad you came back. Do you want to talk about your experience there?

Is that when you became a fucking POS left-winger?

Cheers to you, Ken.

Could you not use the bone spur deferment?

1968 was definitely a watershed year for America and the world. This is an interesting photo essay of that year, from an American perspective. Enjoy.

What were those people thinking? The water in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is nasty nasty nasty.

Your standard response is to ignore you superiors. It makes you feel better but it doesn't change your status, boy.

It's sad you actually came home in a way other than a body bag.

I must start calling myself Senioraircraftsmaniolo and write only in Chinese! The past is another country, and best left to itself!

That's as low as you can go, draft dodger. You should be burned at the stake.

>son of bone spur. You wouldn't even know the difference between a fox hole and a shithole except for the fact that you live in a shit hole. Please die with a slow and painful death.

Oh yes... that photo. I believe that it was an impetus to the growing environmental movement that culminated with the first Earth Day -- and the creation of the EPA in 1970. Which was made law by a Republican president. I remember when Republicans valued science and saw it as an arrow in America's arsenal against those who would bring us low.

I really enjoyed this photo essay not only for the political stuff but also for the cultural things. The Supremes! One of my favorite groups ever! And Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. And that photo of the Beatles as the kids they were then, in the hollyhocks.

Trump was 21-24 in 68 and 70.. You'd think he would have caught on... Maybe he was too busy being a slum lord.

When I finally got home in 69 the people in my home town of youngstown, OH, treated me with the best of respect.

BTW, calley's sergeant was from youngstown. Go figure. lol.
