Vietnam vet guy told me that the tally the news organizations talked about were bogus.
The Vet told me Charlie took their dead with them
I got news from the Pacific Stars & Stripes. AFVN radio was OK. Even picked up Jane Fonda on Radio Hanoi calling us babykillers and war criminals.
Flew Hueys and saw some s***. McGovern came to Saigon & badmouthed our allies.
Didn’t see protesters when I flew into Travis but heard a lot about U.S. military being abused & attacked. I assumed at the time they were either draft dodgers or convinced communists. But they were just like Antifas now: pure EVIL!
Yeah, I get “thank you for your service” a lot and I appreciate it, especially when it’s another Vietnam vet. I deployed at 55 and we were applauded in airports, so a lot has changed.
But Jane Fonda is still breathing and that’s a problem.
