The Vietnam War and The Kent State Shootings

This is a video I made for my AP US History Final that shows what The Vietnam War and The Kent State Shootings were like. Song is "Question" by The Moody Blues.

thanks for a great vid. regrettably 40 years from now somebody will post another vid about iraq - but there'll be no protesters and nothing even close to the moody blues. have we lost our way?

Universities teach and promote the necessity of FREE SPEECH yet time and again Ohio State Universities are silencing those who do so. Why is this?

Two fathers demonstrated at Columbus State University for Equal parenting rights. They climbed a crane with a banner about EQUAL parenting rights.

Donald Tenn and Paul Fisher of fathers-4-justice are going to PRISON for 18 months for this act of free speech.

I guess it is a good thing that they too were not shot and killed for FREE SPEECH

@ohnoitsrose I'm pretty sure they didn't get 18 years for climbing a fucking crane

Because the world remembers this war and others, September 11 2001 had to happen. Only then the corrupt and greedy would have their new wars. Because the world remembers and don't believe in the good intensions of the U.S.A. and the intentions of ISRAEL the CRIMES on September 11 2001 had to happen. The world wants peace no wars.

@phishfearme2

also.

Vietnam was a draft.

Today (especially in Canada) it's nearly impossible to go to the middle east. There's long waiting lines, even to get into the military.

Like somebody else said below, very large difference.

I do agree on the moody blues comment.

@F4JCAMERA

climbing cranes is illegal.

there is a reason why society does not allow crane climbing.

put your message out without climbing cranes, and there will be no problem.

What happened to all you guy's in college during Bush,s 8 YEARS. You could of helped stop Bush as we did with LBJ and Nixon. SDS has started up again. Help get the movement at your college

Breaking the law isn't protected free speech now matter how pumped you are. I think its hilarious the absolute only anti-war protesters at my campus are a group of old people who come out once a week.

And soldiers being poor people who can't go to college is a myth. There's actually a disproportionate amount of people in the military coming from higher paying jobs.

The actual figures show a minority of draftees were sent to Vietnam. Less than a 3rd of deaths there were draftees.

@ChetzNation The entire project encompassed much more than just this video segment. There were six total, one of which is also on YouTube (Dust Bowl/The Great Depression). They were utilized primarily to segue between discussion topics in which we had to provide extensive oral commentaries demonstrating our knowledge of the subject. I only received an A-, although I did succeed in making a few people cry.

@smithdsmit Also there is no draft. The draft is what mobilized the society. It is this mobilization and protesting that did away with the draft. Soldiers today enlist and choose to be wherever there is conflict ... big difference.
