68. History will be written by people like you. It doesn't matter if what
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 05:55 PM by Sapere aude
happened is something different from what you know. I am a Vietnam veteran who returned in March of 1968. My experience of coming home was nothing like what you witnessed. My story is not believed here at DU nor is it ever going to become the history of that time. The problem as I see it is that we feel that the anti war movement was something akin to a saintly adventure. People can't reconcile peace lovers with violence against soldiers and I have been able to live with that. I heard again on KPFK this week that the spitting stories are the biggest myth of that time and so it will be written. I know personally that it is not.
