Vietnam

I feel as if the Vietnam was especially exemplary of how propaganda can sway how people thought. I watched a movie called "Hamburger Hill." In the movie is showed how easily peoples ideas could be swayed. One of the guys had a girlfriend and she had sent him a letter stating that she had talked to her friends and she would not write any more letters based on the fact that she does not support the war. This seemed very evident during the time because I feel like the people who weren't in combat were stictly opinionated against the war or for the war. I believe that the representation of this in the movie is showcased very nicely because it incorporates love and war. Those two words seems contradictory but it all ties in. The hippie movement embraced the idea of love, but they showcased hate toward the soldiers.
