Hopefully, the patients from Walter Reed will read her article and have nothing to do with her (if even true).

I’m sure the most difficult thing for a returning vet to endure is the spittle flecked rantings of anti-American Marxists like this. I have a better idea for relieving stress than a bar fight though. Let’s hold her down and shave her pits with duct tape.

I wonder how the troops she set up for her little journalism project feel about being used. Think she'll be welcome there again?

A few things from her article were left out. Apparently her friend Pete is an a-hole who repeatedly goes to the bar to start fights with Marines. She assists by taking Pete to the bar and feeding him liquor then uses the material for her articles to complain on his behalf.

I would suggest “The Deer Hunter” for the Vietnam experience. It is a much darker, bleak film, which reflects a certain loss of innocence and hope.

I agree that the Vietnam vets had a more difficult transition back into civilian life, for many reasons. They deserved much better.

LMAO. You truly cannot make this stuff up.

Thanks for the suggestion, DH is a great movie. I'm a Nam vet and quite frankly, I've seen all the related movies so many times I think I can quote their scripts.
