Did you know "a small but driven group of veterans, active-duty personnel, and civilian supporters" got so pissed about the United States leaving Vietnam that they reinvigorated the white power movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which led directly to the "alt-right" and other similar terrorist organizations in the US? Historian Kathleen Belew makes the case in Bring the War Home, drawing a direct line from these postwar maniacs to Timothy McVeigh to today's white supremacist shitlords in "the first full history" of the movement.
