Really? Who was our enemy? USSR, OK. But Vietnam? We were wrong to go there, W-R-O-N-G. The Vietcong were not our enemy until we made them our enemy. That was a nationalistic dispute that we had no business getting involved in. And those who stood up and said just that weren't even close to treason. They were the very definition of patriots.
