7. I question this, just as I question the post-Vietnam vet stories
A lot of the stories about Vietnam vets being spat upon, insulted, etc., turned out to be heard from "friends of friends of friends." I believe there was an article in the NYT, by a journalist who was unable to track down a single soldier who personally experienced it. I have no doubt it must have happened somewhere, but it was apparently so rare that that reporter couldn't find a SINGLE case.
