In the common neighborhood in America of any state or US territory, during the 1960's; if the neighborhood newspaper boy was drafted (or enlisted) and was killed in Vietnam, the whole neighborhood was deeply upset. And they probably didn't even know him or his name. They simply heard he was "the newspaper boy." In the United States, every mother & every father, every brother and sister, uncle & aunt, was affected if there was a casualty. Only the children were NOT to be told. Grown ups ceased talking about Vietnam (or the casualty) when a child was present; or else THAT PERSON would have to explain to THAT CHILD that the child's father, brother, cousin, uncle, or neighborhood newspaper boy was now dead. No one wanted that privilege! While at work, discussion's about the war had to be hushed. Some employee might have had a casualty within the family. Feelings could get hurt, anger might surface, fist fights might (and did occur). Vietnam was to be left OUT OF THE WORK PLACE! Most commonly, everyone had someone in the military service, so discussing a casualty only worried the individual hearing the discussion. There were other topics to talk about, more pleasent things...the word was out...TALK Baseball!
