Don't think I actually sat through a whole one until I had a roomate for 5 yrs that watched them over and over again, so much he could recite the dialogue line by line precisely. Well I couldn't completely avoid them. I finally figured out he wasn't the injun killin macho ugly-American stereotype I had always had held. He had subtelty and compassion mixed up in there, and was a damn fine actor to boot. Still love and re-watch "The Searchers" and yes of course his iconic "True Grit".

Kent State Massacre - 4 Dead in Ohio The tipping point at home for the end of the Vietnam War. I remember when this happened. It was terrible! College students at Kent State were shot by the police while protesting the Vietnam War.

I Believe they were guardsmen not Police

The Ohio National Guard were the shooters.
