I said the “vets” on the show are probably REMFs or not veterans at all. I got sick of all of their whining. And when they talked about getting spit on and called “baby killers”, I knew they were frauds. They always throw that in as proof when all they did was hear about it. If there’s one freeper this happened to, please, let me know. I saw an article a few years back where the author said he could not find one vet to swear they were spit on.
But, what really did it for me was making McCain and Kerry heroes. Those few minutes added nothing to the story. I turned it off.
I was very disappointed because I had looked forward to seeing it.
I am not sure which show you watched.
There were plenty of front line vets interviewed. There service and heroism was clear and was presented in an honorable way.
My father (Airborne Ranger) said some fleabag got in his face at LAX when he returned from his second tour in `72, a couple months early because his mother was dying.
He said the hippie got too close and started to spit, but hippie wound doing an impression of a floor mop.
Yeah, maybe it didn’t happen to you but it happened.
Ken Burns is a faggot lefty douchebag.
When I was growing up in the 70’s we had this guy in his late 20’s early 30’s who drove a delivery truck to my parents business a couple times a week to drop off supplies. He always wore a beard even in the heat of summer.
He was always quite and soft spoken and did a good job. One day they asked him why the beard even in the summer time heat and he got kind of quite and then said he was in Vietnam and wounded and as he was being carried off the plane in Seattle or San Fransisco there was an anti-war protest going on and the protestors threw a glass bottle and hit him in the face cutting it open and he had to have his whole face sewn up. He wore it to hide the scars. I have hated the war protestors since that day with a passion, he was a hell of a nice, humble and decent man.
