No argument here -- in fact, my post was an attempt to WIDEN the focus of
those who struggled and correctly deserve recognition. Indochina was not
the end all and be all of the sixties -- although it sure colored the
scenery.
Would there have been a sixties "movement" (or many movements) absent the
war? I have been chewing on this one for my U.S. History/Sixties classes
for about a decade with no satisfactory conclusion (counterfactual history
never quite quenches the thirst).
Your plea for unity _is_ admirable.
