Reply #53: May I suggest that Kentuck was pointing

[nomatrix]

to how this "myth" could not have been true with the peace movement.

The majority of combat veterans in Vietnam were drafted (as well as protests had begun) in the late 60's early 70's. Why would those who protested the sending of kids (who didn't even have the right to vote) to fight and die for a poorly planned invasion and exit then mock them with the action of spitting on them?

It was not the soldiers fault for the orders they were given, especially in life or death conditions. Self rightous indignation always pops up in this topic.

I believe what Kentuck was attempting to do, was to let you know what the feelings were at the time of that war to today & the likelyhood of it "actually" happening. Expect those stories to surface, and process in what you know to be true today.
