It’s obvious that you were involved in the Tet. Or close to it. I just missed it, but the aftermath was every bit as bad. The VC/NVA had established solid routes in Cambodia as a result.
The thing that really effected me most was not the people who had deferments, (My brother for one) but the people who used the Guard as a way to say they served but avoided having to take all of the risk.
I was also spat upon at Penn Central on the Tarmac. My bags were also stolen from the carousel and later found on the road with spray painted “BABY KILLER” all over them.
The indignities were too numerous to list.
Thanks for your service . I understand what you are saying , but unless they admitted to that, one has to speculate as to if they joined for nefarious reasons I always give them the benefit of the doubt. It was a hard time to be of age.
Actually the Tet Offensive began on January 31. My husband was in nam during that time
