Vietnam is a complex subject and there are no easy answers. The 'country' (USA) had spoken, it was time to end the war. You can blame the 'end' on who ever or what ever group suits your political position, but fact is, we had to end it, it was the fullness of time. And the end result was certainly catastrophic and tragic on many levels. There are a LOT of reasons, groups and people that we can place the blame on. For getting us IN as well as getting us OUT. It was and remains a 'mess', plenty of blame and shame to spread around, from POTUS down to Haight Ashbury and in between. I think it's a cheap shot blaming a 'peace movement' for the countrys failure in Vietnam, it's substantially more complex than that.
