History of Viet Nam War and where some went after the war.
TMT or Car can yall make this a link to it on YT instead of video?
I was close to these vets because I was in that era and knew many of them some in my own family. I didn't like hippies that cussed them at all. They got a real bad rap and that is a shame.

Merrkat, per your request, here is the link to your posted video:
I saw a documentary a few years ago, I don't remember where exactly. It was called "The History of S- e- x", I think. (No hyphens, just didn't know if it would be filtered out if left as a whole word.) Anyway, one of the things I found interesting was how the culture of the English that settled in what would become the US differed from the culture of the French who settled in what would become Canada. The English had much more restrictive views and did not mix well with the Native populations at all. The French, however, were much more open in their views and mixed a lot better with the Native populations.
If I find it again, I'll have another watch as I'm sure I missed or have forgotten many interesting things. But I found it fascinating how something so seemingly unrelated could influence the culture of a nation for easily 100 years, maybe more. Perhaps similar things are in play in Middle Eastern cultures that I'm not aware of as well.
Meercat, I do appreciate your mentioning not belonging to a particular religious denomination but believing in God. I can appreciate that position. I am currently a part of a particular denomination that has often used one of the sources you mention above. But I gotta admit, I don't go in lockstep there, either. I'm not sure there is a "perfect" denomination. So I kinda feel like I'm doing the best I can but am not going to be exclusive of others who are sincere who believe a little differently than I do.

Most of these vids look very informative. I think about this thread sometimes, then forget to look for it.
Thanks, @Meerkat for your efforts and i will be looking through these, though I'm 100% certain I can live without the history of sex.
One of my Native American ancestors was a spy against the French during the French Indian war and ended up basically crippled from wading through freezing waters and snow in the great lakes states. I found his Army papers in the National Archives.
...Anyone ever wonder what happened to all the gold and silver that has been mined for 6000 years?...
