Of course, but Vietnam seemed like a pretty easy target by 1973, and the self-immolation was all-too obvious.

the hippie movement had lost quite a bit of steam by 73, but yeah there where hippies
still burnt out hippies today

How old were you in 1973? Old enough to make judgements about what our military was like and had been doing for the past 7 or 8 years?

I can't stand the 70s look especially the hair styles yuck!

It sure does makes our military look like a bunch of bumbling bafoons.I didnt like it!But it was made in "73"Has to be one of the uglist years in American history.The hideous clothes/fashion and the hairstyles or should I say lack of and the whole hippie movement.Take a bath will ya! FREAKS !!!But besides this I still like the movie.
I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me

Well yeah- Night of the Living Dead has a lot going on with civil rights (under the surface of course) but also had sentiments of Vietnam, which continued on through with the mostly realistically gory violence in 'Dawn' (Savini is a Vietnam vet). This film is creepy with its satire.
'Night Of The Living Dead' had nothing to do with civil rights! That is absolute horse****! Many people were not aware that Duane Jone's casting was coincidental. The film had been written with out regards to the character's race. Jones had a great audition, and got the part. I wish people quit with these falsehoods regarding the film.
