- Napalm Attack - US did them. Kids suffered. We're baby killers, rapists, mutalators, But it wasn't true!
- Diem vs. the Buddhists. This munk poured gasoline on himself, and set himself on fire in public. We supported him because he was anti-communist.
- War Protests - young people were really upset about the war - had signs "Make love, not war." They were against war, wondering why we're over there because we weren't making any progress.
