Assuming John McCain or Barry Goldwater.
How about Presidential candidate and U.S. Senator John McCain. He was shot down over Hanoi, North Vietnam and held in the "Hanoi Hilton" prison for 5 1/2 years.
Son Tay Prison was the scene of the failed rescue attempt (the prisoners had been relocated prior to the raid). Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton) held POW's John McCain (Presidential Candidate) & James Stockdale (former Vice Presidential Candidate)...and was toured by Actress (Hanoi Jane) Jane Fonda.
All people drafted to fight in the Vietnam War became eligible to vote.
Opposition to the Vietnam War divided the Democratic Party in 1968, with the older Democratic politicians such as Chicago Mayor Richard Daly lining up against the younger, more liberal Democrats who supported the ideals of assassinated presidential candidate Robert Kennedy. Moderate Sen Hubert Humphrey (MN) was the Democrats compromise candidate; he lost to Richard Nixon by less than 1.5% of the vote.
Probably not.
compared Iraq to Vietnam.
