In the early 70s there was a huge camp of draft dodging hippies between Wells and Quesnel BC. The draft for Viet-Nam was pretty silly IMO...crappy troops all around. The officer rotation program sucked the giant frag grenade.

the American conscript troops were not poor soldiers, that's a myth
the conscript Army that went to Vietnam in 1965 was the best Army America ever had
morale simply collapsed on Hill 937 at Dong Ap Bia, 20 May 1969
otherwise known as Hamburger Hill
72 killed, 372 wounded, 7 missing, to take the hill
then the chain of command abandoned it right after, handed it back to the PAVN
that was the breaking point
