Internal Conflict at Poly during the Vietnam War

The Vietnam War was a U.S. military incusion from roughly 1964 to 1975 against communist North Vietnamese forces lead by Ho Chi Mihn. The North Vietnamese chose to engage American forces unconventionally with Guerrilla tactics, which proved to be unexpectedly deadly. The loss of thousands of American lives in provinces that the average citizen had never even heard of, caused public opinion of the war to be unprecedentedly low. This unpopularity was exacerbated by the Kent State Massacre, which brought civil unrest to college campuses across the country, including the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.
