And those of us that “visited those exotic places, met interesting people, and killed (many of) them”, came home from our various adventures and got out, to start finding out (Watergate, ContraGate, Pentagon Papers, etc.) just how much we’d all been lied to and ripped off.
The war profiteers racked up amazing profits, and continue to, while our real incomes have eroded until we who thought we were becoming ‘middle-class’ found ourselves on the ragged edge of poverty.
