They sent us off to Vietnam and forgot to secure the home front. As a consequence we now see the country disintegrating before our eyes and seem almost powerless to do anything about it.

Goes back long before that, to pre-WWII era stuff. I blame the institution of public schools as one of the first symptoms, and exacerbating causes, of this. The educational system was heavily, heavily influenced and infiltrated by communists, going way, way, back. Once we abdicated the raising and instruction of our children to the government, instead of doing it ourselves or entrusting our kids' education to a person of our own choosing, we allowed the camel's nose under the tent. It was this that allowed the eventual perversion of our entire education system, from the ground up to post-graduate college education, and encouraged the dependency on government; after all, we give our kids to them for the most vital years of their lives, so why shouldn't we give them anything and everything else?
