I think its just urban myth that returning Vietnam vets were mistreated by protestors. I certainly never experienced anything like that, and no one that I know did either. I can't recall the source, but I think I read something recently about it being a bunch of BS. >I support our troops, yes... my heart aches for them. >I do not support my country's current foreign policies. >Vietnam taught me - big time - not to confuse those two things. It mystifies me how so many people thing they are supporting the troops by supporting a war that causes many of them to die. That is like being pro-arson to support fire fighters. If you think a war is justified, fine. Just don't confuse that with support for the troops.
