The myth of the PTSD whacked out Vietnam vet has been perpetuated for decades to the point that now everyone just believes it without questioning it's veracity. From Viper's Vietnam Veterans Pages...

And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations. ( Television's Vietnam, The Impact of Media ) The Vietnam War became more about journalists (Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite) than about a war for the survival of liberal democracy in Southeast Asia. If only they loved their country's young and willing warriors as much as they loved their own children. The welfare of the troops and the TRUTH took a back seat to the press' sense of its own importance. Thanks to John Kerry the "Opportunist", Jane Fonda the "Communist" and Walter Cronkite and the other left wing journalists who were too swept up in their own danse macabre to even notice the murderous consequences of their own malfeasance -- or to hear the demands of simple decency.

We never lost a battle in Vietnam but we lost the war at home under color of the coward and liar.

Sounds pretty darn familiar.

With the help of "We were Ghengis Khan" Kerry.
