I was born in ‘73, the year we took our ball and bat and went home for the most part. Growing up, the crazy murderous bastard on every TV show was invariably a Vietnam vet. I was inculcated to the point where I believed it. Growing up and knowing a number of vets has since changed my views, but as a kid I believed all Vietnam vets were messed up and capable of the most hanous violence toward citizens. It will be tough to watch the media do this to anouther generation of soldiers.

Brace yourself, the media and their pals in the left are doing it again. They are just getting warmed up. Read a book titled "Stolen Valor." By the way, we are from the same generation and I know waht you mean about the media depiction of Viet Nam vets. I have never known one who was a psycho killer. I have known some who have had really hellish dreams, but are otherwise very well adjusted and live normal and, often very calm lives.
