People forget that the radicals of the time weren't so much upset about what was happening to our troops. They were upset at what was happening to the enemy troops. The most common chant at a demonstration was "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, NLF is gonna win!" VietCong flags were everywhere. The idea was that America is a racist, imperialist, and capitalist power, and the world would be a better place if the communists won. Mao's little red book was very popular.

I would be very surprised if Kerry's forbidden book didn't extol the virtues of communism over capitalism.

I'm assuming you meant to include the contraction. If so, I agree with you...probably is one of the reasons why he's bought up all the copies and refuses to allow it re-release, just a he refuses to sign the form 180 which would allow release of his military records.
