It's hard to say that it would have.

But, I mean, the whole thing is so heartbreaking.

And you're right.

When we got back from World War II—

Those guys had parades.

They got back to work.

They used the GI Bill.

They built this country into what it is today.

Vietnam, those guys, it was looked at like they went bankrupt.

It was like a company going bankrupt.

They had all that to deal with, all that baggage to deal with.

And that left a scar on an entire generation.

It really...

You know, a lot of that started with the Kennedy assassination in 1963.

And then we move on into the war and this becomes the first televised war.

So there were photographs of the Civil War.

There's photographs, World War One, World War Two, we're getting the newsreels when you go to the movies on Saturday and see the matinee and you're getting those.

But that's a very different type of way to get your news.

because you're seeing it once a week or you're seeing a still photograph in a paper.

Then we get to Vietnam and now you're seeing it every day on the news.
