“So, you were there for a major antiwar protest?”
I spent years of my life living on the road and adventuring, when DC looked like it was going to be a blood bath I hitched up there just for the adventure, I actually supported the war although not the draft.
A few months after the 1971 event, my permanent draft deferment was finally awarded to me and I then enlisted in the army.

LOL! That’s one way to “stick it to the man”.
Thanks for the insight into that time period. (I was going to guess 1972, but thought that might have been a bit late. Then was going to guess 1969 - but thought that was too early!)
I recall trying to find an image of machine-gun nests on the street corners of D.C. from back then. I had heard about it - but wanted “proof”. But from your description (where was that from?) - it sounds like what I had heard was correct?
