I was never personally and physically spat upon when i returned from Vietnam, but many were. This was a great super bowl ad. The only "corporate flag" waving was a very brief "Anheuser-Bush" at the end. You can write AB to thank them for this long over due thanks for troops returning from Viewtnam at this link: http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/default.asp?site=IA

If I remember correctly, there are no recorded examples of people spitting on returning Vietnam vets. There was a thread on FR about it a few years back.

It was an excellent ad. I'd like to see more like it. I think the fact that it wasn't a PSA made it all that much better.

It would have been better if it was a PSA, a public-service announcement, and not a BSA, beer-service announcement," said Tom Amico, a creative director at KaplanTommy boy, STFU.

i am constantly amazed at how stupid people are willing to sound in order to attempt to discredit greatness. I was awed by the commercial, as was everybody at my house. It was a great ad, as shown by the lunacy of those trying to detract from it.
