17. I don't know, but it could have been from the speculations of

sociologists dealing in pop culture, asking if 50's era American innocence, as represented by shows like Leave it To Beaver, really did die in the jungles of Southeast Asia. So, in that case, you could say speculate about the characters in the show, and use their experiences in the 60s as metaphors for what the American consciousness went through during that time. Hence, "the Beaver died in Vietnam"= American innocence died in Vietnam.
