I for one feel that the treatment of returning Vietnam veterans by a disgusted nation was pretty appropriate on the whole.
Except that they were poor schmucks who happened to be unlucky enough to be drafted and a large portion of them probably hated the war as much as the people jeering them.[/quote]
I think the evidence is unclear on Vietnam vets reception … There is a lot of debate about whether spitting incidents actually occurred or whether they are pure myth. It may very well be completely untrue.
