In 1987, the unemployment rate of the population as a whole averaged 6.175 %
As of 1987, the unemployment rate of all Vietnam era veterans (in-country and not in-country) was 8%.
The same with homelessness,crime,addiction etc ( why gun ownership was even mentioned escapes me)
over time, the Viet Vets mainstreamed, so to speak.
nyt is such a propaganda machine
Yeah, but 1987 was FIFTEEN YEARS after the last U.S troops were pulled out of ‘Nam. That’s a hell of a long time to mainstream.
