Good evening.
The latest guy to get a good dose of hate is john kerry and he is still confused. Payback is indeed a b**tch, eh.

God bless you for your service to us all in Vietnam
(AND in the airport in California!)
I have been watching this thread all night. The stories and personal accounts are heartbreaking. Is this person going to call all of these posters liars?
...it's the soldier who give the intellectual the right to lie in print...
I am still so absolutely furious.
I dont know if I ever swore on this board, but I am ready to make R.Lee Ermey blush...
The holocaust didn't happen either.
Wow
This guy is too full of sh&& to waste time on.

Welcome home brother. I apologize for the ignorant among us.
"Only 3 percent of returning soldiers recounted any unfriendly experiences upon their return."
Well, partner, that's about 3% too damn many. BTW, 3% of of a half a million is about 15,000. That's way too damn many.
Well, my father didn't get spit on when he stepped off the plane stateside after coming back from Viet Nam. Nope. Instead, he was struck by a bag of piss that burst open upon contact.
But you're right - he wasn't spit on.
Thanks for the ping, welcome back, bump to read another page of this thread later.
My Dad was a police officer who had to keep back protesters when the veterans came home. He knows that they were spit at because he was spit on when they missed their target.
Think so shit bird
My husband was spit on while in uniform & holding our 3yr old son! I wish someone could take it back, but they can't & they have no idea what it did to my husband.
A google search reveals this guy to be making a career over debunking the Starbucks hates Israel myth, deconstructing sports speech and, oh yeah, defending the Kerry-Edwards image...
“Llewellyn said Edwards’ life story of growing up the son of mill workers, and working hard to pull himself to prosperity, had resonated with people.”

Spit at (but not hit), called "imperialist," "murderer," and "babykiller." Had to punch out about twenty people over the next decade and to toss one in a garbage dumpster and one into wet cement. The Left had told so many unchallenged lies over the TV and traitors like John Kerry had slimed in public so much that no one even wanted to hear the truth, or would believe it when it was told to them.
"So you guys got the Hell beat out of you at Tet, huh?"
"No, we defeated the VC utterly; we hurt them so badly in the Tet Offensive that they will never be able to mount a significant operation again. The NVA will have to take over for them because we just flat smoked them."
"That's not what WALTER CRONKITE said on TV!!!"
"Well, then @#$% Walter Cronkite."
All the leftist kookiness started back then. We had a draft, so blaming soldiers for the war was bizarre. The left was so worried about our supposed "atrocities," but never gave a damn about the real atrocities by the communist dictators. Remember a Clinton White House staffer telling a general that "uniforms aren't welcome here"? What does that tell you about the attitude of the left toward men in unform?
Happy Birthday, bro...
the ONLY reason I wasn't spit on was that we came into Norton AFB in 1970 and were told to change into civvies before we left the base... The protesters were just outside the gates.
