His argument is paternalistic: Americans simply aren't capable of introspection and moral relativism of the 1960s and American exceptionalism probably inhibited such thoughts of desertion, draft avoidance, and imprisonment from the majority of the population of the US at that time.
That's probably true, but we are certainly capable of condemning the past and condemning the current executioners of American hegemony.
To understand is not to condone, and yet calling for understanding and nuance rhymes with calls for acceptance and reconciliation with the society that produces and necessitates this global genocidal violence.
