Even after the wake-up call of Tet, the military had the overall support of the public. Remember, Nixon ran and was elected on "Peace with Honor".
Public perception was finally changed on 5/4/70, with the Kent State killings, after the expansion of the war into Cambodia. Of course, we'd been going into Cambodia for years, but this was the first official incursion, and protesters and bystanders were shot because of it. We can levitate the pentagon all we want, but mainstream America won't notice until they start getting shot at by their own government.
Having a rather down morning, you may have noticed.
