We've come a long way from Vietnam, haven't we? From spitting and insults to physical assault.
Nice.
Such things happened to my father when he returned from Vietnam. I've had a intense dislike for 'hippies' and antiwar types for as long as I can remember. On a side note; I'm a guy with long hair and people often get surprised when I start ranting on my hatred for hippies lol. Also when I see people in uniform I always go out of my way to thank them or give them a kind gesture. I picked up the tab of a uniformed military man at a bar. He seemed genuinely surprised when he saw who I was.
My son was spit on at Fort Rich in 2003 by a stinking protester when he was in uniform at the base entrance.
