No not just Claremont, but a whole swath of so called middle America.
As far as the war, in Vietnam we had the draft and that affected a much broader segment of America. While there were college deferments, those only lasted so long, I know from first hand experience, I was drated in 1971 at age 23 after spending four years in college. Now we have the all recruited military. Many who plan on becoming career soldiers. Many who could not find a decent paying job elsewhere. In Vietnam, turnover in the ranks was high and people did not have three, four and five deployments to the warzone. Kids in college do not worry about being drafted. So there is virtually no protest.
