Actually, I'm one of those Vietnam vets and I remember it well. But, it isn't the generation that spit on us that's in leadership and quite honestly needs replacing. You see the spitters and those of us who served are the same generation.
Except for the greatest generation, any able-bodied man signed up, and the women worked in the factories....
The people that spit on our soldiers outnumbered them 50 to one.....maybe 500-1........
The young men who went to fight in Vietnam, were mainly drafted....... and if your daddy didn't know anyone to get you out of it, you went...... And fight, and what I believe was a war completely made up by the military industrial complex to line their pockets with money on the backs of dead young men from this country.
You could be against the war without spitting on your own young men who came home from hell.......
I have never been able to look at Jane Fonda with anything but disgust.
Sorry, I know getting political on a message board is probably as smart an idea as getting drunk in a bar and doing it but........I wish the greatest generation could come back for 15 minutes to smack everybody around and be like "what in the Sam.hell are y'all doing"?
