I couldn't agree more on the drug-addled hippies who refused to recognize the American heroes who risked their lives in Vietnam.
Anyone who spit on a Veteran getting off one of those airplanes should have been tried and executed for treason. It's okay to hate the war, but to not support the soldiers is unconscionable.
Exactly PB! (except I don't remember the drug addled hippies NOT recognizing the heroes) Having lived thru the era, and knowing people who were in the war, not to mention the deaths, makes it a little more personal for someone from that era, especially a former soldier.
My ex told me a few stories from his time in Viet Nam. It's a whole different world there. Hard to comprehend.
