Interesting Spud, I learned about anti-war from a Quaker back in 1960 when I was a 1st year grad student at Harvard and Smith, the Quaker, was an older 1st year student.
I have looked at every ensuing illegal intervention in foreign nations from their perspective even though I was under contract with the CIA and the Air Force to communicate with Russian and Eastern European scientists and come to an understanding of what motivates Russian scientists; thereby contributing to making our interventions more predictable by their silence- least that was what I was told...
