Hoosick Falls backs Johnson doubling draft for Nam
In Hoosick Falls New York residents express clear support for President Johnson's plan to double the draft and send 50,000 more troops to Vietnam. Local interviewees include Jim Andrick 17 soon to be 18, George Jr. 35 and longtime civic figures who frame the war as a stand against Communism. The town chorale and veterans add context to a community divided between pacifist doubt and collective resolve.
