As a viet vet who did two tours, I'm getting tired of this we never welcomed them home crap.
When I came back in 69, I was treated with respect and dignity by everyone I met. The only problem I had was going into a neighborhood bar in uniform, people would not stop buying me drinks.
This I was spat upon when I came home is just more playing victim crap.

You were obviously the exception due to your charm and good humor.

"As a viet vet who did two tours, I'm getting tired of this we never welcomed them home crap"I never was spat upon, but a friend of mine was. The problem with the sad Vietnam homecoming experiences is that the general public believed all the Jane Fonda crap and a lot of them still do.

people would not stop buying me drinks I'll promise to stop buying you drinks, long as I can buy you a drink first.
