I support the conscientious objectors who managed to get out of serving in Vietnam. In fact I feel relieved for them - and immense empathy and sorrow for people who did go, whether drafted or volunteering thinking it would be an honorable way to serve. If you read some Tim O'Brien it can help to paint the no-win picture that was that horrific war. Support your vets and also policies that minimize wars.

And also veterans’ healthcare (like Jon Stewart).
