And here, to use a historical example is where the hippies actually got it right.
In my view, the Vietnam War was an immoral war. Every American soldier who participated in that war short of threat of death (and really imprisonment was the penatly for refusal) should be ashamed and shamed. So should everybody at home who "supported the troops." The hippies understood that "oppose the war, support the troops" was a paradox. At least all the grunt soldiers in Hitler's army have the excuse that they actually would have been shot for refusal (and yet we still expect them all to feel shame).
