Honestly, I have such a problem following your logic. Read your post again and you’ll see how it could be construed as a sneer on the troops.
Since I was alive and well during those days I also remember the hard hats, the vets of World War I & II, John Wayne and John Ford, and millions of others like my parents who defended the war and honored the troops. They rarely made the front page of the newspapers or the history books so I guess its logical for you to assume that the entire American population was going around spitting in the faces of G.I.’s, lol!

Only to those who believe that boomers can do no wrong. Every Vet from Vietnam I’ve spoken to said they believe America quit on them, and it still hurts even today.
But go on, remember, we’re the folks filling up the duty rosters today and having kiddos, etc. We’re going to teach them the lessons of Vietnam and the importance of the home front. About sacrifice and duty to the folks serving abroad. Stuff I never heard.
