The National Guard didn't kill protesters, they killed bystanders. National Guard - deployed after leftists burned down the ROTC building and attacked firemen - shot into the air to disperse a crowd of radicals that had been chasing them w poles & had them backed against a fence https://twitter.com/PeterRQuinones/status/1257268031396470785 …

4/ I did a deep dive on the topic c. 1990, reading several books which included interviews of students, guardsmen, etc. I don't recall the titles, sorry. Anyway, it would have been better if guardsmen HAD aimed at the Viet Cong sympathizers. >>> https://twitter.com/enginoire1/status/1257641795535745024 …

5/ My research paper on the subject ended with the conclusion "the guardsmen fired 67 shots and only achieved 4 KIA of enemy combatants; this reflects a leadership failure to provide marksmanship training and motivation".

6/ wikipedia has a map showing how the guardsmen retreated for hundreds if not thousands of feet, pursued by viet cong sympathizers who were stabbing at them with flag poles only when backed against a fence did they fire in self defensepic.twitter.com/ZaCqym6e1R

8/ So you're denying that Taylor Hall, where the guardsmen were pushed to, was surrounded by a fence? Why do photos from that day show a fence?https://twitter.com/Thirqual/status/1257683435428216833 …

I give Perlstein credit, he might be a surprisingly hardcore Commie, but he played that one absolutely straight in Nixonland. *After* a couple hundred pages of domestic bombings, race riots, and general craziness to provide context.
