These are the same besmirching comments placed upon vets in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I am not old enough to recall how the preditory goverment reacted to those returning from WW2 or Korea so I don’t know if this is a trend that began after Korea or not.

My advice to our esteemed leaders now and in the future, if you cannot abide by the knowledge that war is hell don’t send them off to fight in any wars if you are incapable of abiding by the affects they may have on them or plan to discriminate against them when they return from service.

WWII vets were considered as heros when they returned,(although now 67 years after the war there are Leftists and media trying to dredge up claims of so-called “war crimes” committed against our enemies.

Korea vets were neglected by the public and media when they returned from “The Forgotten War.”

Vietnam vets were the first war veterans to be widely, constantly defamed and abused for years afterwards by the media and the public when they returned.
