Annotation
Country, patriotic, My Lai, M.I.A., draft dodgers, Nixon, Watergate, Ford. People fought to keep America free, times have changed. Welfare on the rise, busing children (anti-Civil Rights), communists, protestors Nixon resigned, Ford gave him amnesty Amnesty also for draft dodgers - but what about the M.I.A. in Vietnam? What about Lt. Calley, put on trial and in prison for doing his duty?
