Howlin, do NOT beat yourself up over that. A lot of the vets themselves came to believe it. I have a good friend who is a PhD Clinical Psych who has treated a lot of VN Vets and his opinion was that a lot of them conflated the media stories/movies/books w/their own experiences, mostly due to the prevalence of pot/hash/opium out there.

The troops did come home jumpy and betrayed. That would do a number on anyone's temper, for a start. The media deserves all our anger.

The entire nation was betrayed and old media did it. THEY need to apologize and ask everyone's forgivness, IMO.

I can't help it; I'm frantic about this since these stories first started appearing. I feel like I failed my own friends.
