“This veteran came back to an America that did not welcome us back because of the lies of Walter Cronkite, John Kerry and Jane Fonda. This veteran came back to an America that spit on soldiers 12 hours off of the battlefield. This veteran came back to an America that denied us jobs and careers because, when our country called, we answered, and were called killers, dopers, and baby rapists for it.”
Doesn’t square with an America which elected Nixon in 1968 and then re-elected Nixon by a huge margin in 1972.
Nor does it square with my own experience returning from overseas service (not Vietnam) in 1970.
Nobody bothered me, got my old good job back, went to college at night.
(I don’t accept the portrayal of vietnam era vets as homeless, drug addicted alcoholics. Nor do I accept veterans, or conservatives seeking victimhood of any kind).
Enjoy the view from beneath the sand. Many of the rest of us weren't that lucky. When I enlisted, I wasn't able to get a decent job because I hadn't served in the military and the draft quotas were high. After I got out, I couldn't get a decent job because I HAD served!!
If you experienced none of that, consider yourself VERY lucky!! As for the rest, it's a free country and you can believe what you want.
Sorry to harp, but I'm not seeking victimhood. I'm stating a fact! Deal with it.
