And, we know that the war protests DID affect our troop moral during Vietnam. Why would you think the same thing couldn't happen today, if protests become more common, larger, etc?

Vietnam is nothing like today. For one, there was a huge drug issue, they were napalming villages.....
That was what was demoralizing. Along with coming home to be spit on. I believe that the protests here had minimal effect on them while they were there, it was other factors. And I'm sure they were not enjoying getting spit on once they came home....that is not happening today.
To compare Vietnam to this situation is not comparable...
You know what, I know a couple Vietnam vets...I"m gonna ask.....
