I've met a bunch of folks wearing cammies/boonie hats/et cetera at Vietnam memorials. Only a couple of them turned out to be real veterans. So I think I'm justified in my belief that 99% of those people are phonies. And most of the real veterans put on their best suits because they're honoring their buddies.

I was at a memorial dedication in Utah about 20 years ago--you could tell the one-term vets by their suits, the career military by their dress uniforms, and the phonies by (a) the cammies, (b) the long hair, and (c) the crowd of television cameras portraying them as "the face of Vietnam veterans."
