Not only that, but the veterans who returned from the Viet Nam war were treated so SHABBILY when they returned --- by US. I've never seen such horrible treatment in my life!!! The United States was a shameful place back then - these Veterans were drafted and HAD to go - and when they came back, they were called every nasty name in the book because of actions of a very few. They were spit on, tormented, taunted, paint thrown on them, you name it. That isn't supposed to be what we're about. I was never so ashamed in my life, even tho I never took part in it. I was a conservative teenager back then and was horrified.
No wonder some Vets don't talk about alot of things.
