What a creep and a liar.
This asshole is chock full of shit!
We (USMC) didn't have too much trouble in the comunities just outside of base but the larger cities were a different story. There was a time that we were advised NOT to wear our uniforms when going on liberty. That was about impossible because as E-1's and E-2's ALL you had were your uniforms.
When you returned from being in-country, there were groups that met you at the airport. Many were kids but there were plenty of adults taking part. I had trouble both at San Francisco and LA. They certainly DID spit on you, throw fake blood and Ketchup on you, get in your face, scream insults and call you all sorts of names.
I personally did not get the feces or urine treatment, but I knew many who did. I had a few take a poke at me, but that was a huge mistake.
We tired of this crap and on many occasions we took to knocking the crap out of them. If you were caught, you stood a mast and might have pulled some extra duty or a work detail as punishment.
I served 1965- 1969.
Semper Fi! Lets carry on the Campaign the Swiftvets and Others began and show Real America that Our Heros Serve Our Country and Each of Us Everyday and we will not any longer condone the accusations and actions of those that attempt to belittle Our Heros and Our Country. An Urbans Legend Expert!?? Areo fritto, not deserving of Our time and thoughts!!
The hell y'all will be, Tonk. You got a lot of people on your side, more than before, and we're ready to fight!
I'd say you exhibited unusual self restraint Greg, I would have knocked the bitch out.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Bravo..Only those who were there and received or witnessed abuse can educate the professor.
when you call him, tell the doc that it's a little too late for this blather.
He looks to be about Vietnam-service age. I suspect he's not simply incompetently mistaken but lying through his teeth.
Damn, I despise these people.
Liars.
so I guess he was with ALL VIETNAM VETS 24/365 when they returned?? idiot moron.....another of the Liberal Losers here in our North Carolina universities....
unless he can ABSOLUTELY PROVE NONE were spit on, how can anyone take his silly article serious.....
"He looks to be about Vietnam-service age. I suspect he's not simply incompetently mistaken but lying through his teeth."
...or he's one of the cretins that did the spitting and shit throwing.
Excellent letter.
YES, post the reply, IF you get on,
which I doubt, because these people are cowards.
1 - What an ass. Thanks for posting this.
Iwonder if he would stand still while I demonstrate on him, how I was spit on in the early 1970's after returning from Vietnam?
Oh Boy!
INCOMING!
This could end up being one of the most inflammatory threads in FReeper history.
This guy really wrote this stuff?
fyi: John O'Niell on Hannity and Combs tonight.
The callers that I heard were pretty similar to what all of you have posted on this thread. Most were outraged and almost all gave personal examples of being spit on themselves, thus exposing the "Dr." for the a$$hole that he is. I was only a child during the Vietnam war but even I remember hearing about the abuse that our soldiers endured.
I would personally like to thank all of you that served in the military at any time. THANK YOU for protecting the freedom of my family and all of the families in the US. We owe you a HUGE debt of gratitude for what you have sacrificed.

The Right to Free Spit?
Anti-war Protester Spits on Marine Congressional Candidate
On Thursday night, an antiwar protestor in Milwaukee spit on a returned Iraqi war veteran, Marine Major Jerry Boyle. Boyle is a Republican candidate for Congress in Milwaukee. Boyle served in Operation Iraqi freedom and was posted to Baghdad shortly after the invasion. Although he is an underdog in the race, he has shown up for every campaign forum, where he’s won high marks for his civility and willing to face hostile audiences…
