Wait a second, their nation called upon them, they responded by doing what was asked of them and they don't get as much respect for the people that RAN AWAY because they were scared for their own lives? Do you think these people were making a political stand, or that they were just afraid of dying?

Hmmm... Where ever did you find a brush that big to cover all of those people

I would put money on the majority of the people being afraid to die rather than making some grand political statement. If the political statement was their intention why didn't they just go to prison and proclaim it injust from there. Why would you run away. I know there likely were people that had political motives but I would bet the huge majority of them were just scared for their own lives.
I ask you though, there are a group which has stated they will distroy you, they are building up armies in other areas of the world and they have made some attempts to get nuclear weapons within firing distance of the nation in which you live. These are not nice people you are dealing with. At the time the Vietnam war made perfect sense.
