I didn't know Australian Vietnam vets had the same problem when they returned home. I thought the leftist spitters were confined to the hippie movement in America.
God bless all the Vietnam vets no matter where they came from, and damn Walter Cronkite for throwing gas on the fire every night as American families sat down to watch the evening news after eating dinner.
agreed, I went to see the memorial in DC last saturday to find my uncles name he was KIA 40 years ago next week, it was incredible, there were all these pictures and notes left from other soliders some just said things like “thank you tom” there was also a marine color gaurd that played taps and a flyover by a ch 53 sea stallion a ch 64 and an osprey, it was emotional to say the least, i am going to need to go back and spend a week to see the smithsonian etc.
We had the NVA on the ropes until Walter Cronkite started telling the world the war was unwinable. He should have been locked up for treason. I’m certain that somewhere in Hanoi, there is a display giving honor to him.
