Things were different then.
The anti war crowd in Chicago was ruthless.
Fueled by the likes of the Chicago 7.
We left in Aug '68, right after the Democratic convention.
There was no "Welcoming the Troops Home" back then.
We all just came back and tried to forget.
And here it is 2005 and Hanoi Jane will be on the airwaves, again, starting on 60 Minutes on Apr 3
And the "Move On" FReepers will do just that.
Ain't life grand.
I know things were different back then. THANK GOD the guys going now will benefit from what you went through and will never have to face the kind of BS you did - and still do...which you know I believe is a crock. It's because of Vietnam vets like YOU that my brother got a welcome home last April. THANK GOD the press will never be able to pull crap like that again without an outcry from people everywhere. THANK GOD Algore invented the internet! I'll bet he wishes he'd never thought of it! He he he!! *HUGS!*
