My email to Mr. Llewellyn

Dear John,
I sincerely spit on you.

P.s. I wonder how much of your snail mail will be spit on before sending? Be sure to wash your hands.

More like this jerk will emerge from the woodwork.

The left can't lash out against President Bush

They WILL continue to attack Viet Nam Vets
because they know we caused Hanoi Kerry to lose.

BRING IT ON!

I separated at Treasure Island Naval Station 1971. We were warned about the hostility of civilians & told not to go on liberty alone or in uniform. Yes the abuse occurred how do I know I was there it happened on a daily basis with full knowledge of the MSM who mostly spiked the story.

Exactly,and you're experience was not unique.
Heck, I was born and raised in San Diego, and
I vididly recall how shabbily the military was
treated by the anti-war, JFKerry type creepy
dirty, longhair, beads, and sandals traitors.

corner of Katella and St. College in Anaheim, CA

Know that corner well because I have lived it this area my whole life

I remember 68 and what the times were like all to well...

I was 12 at the time and even then was a Conservative and I remember well how the "love children" were

That splitter might well have been my phyco hippie 20 year old cousin... he was just that out there at the time and would be his norm back then(and was the area he ran in)

I was riding with him in a car one night during the same time frame when all he could talk about was getting his guns (he was already well armed for the revolution) and "go kill some pigs" and he was stone cold serious

Funny thing is the same hippie cousin of mine went the typical route, drugs, alcoholic, a little jail time..then when he hit bottom in the mid 70,s went to AA, got born again, became a deacon in his church, got marry had kids built a career...

Now he's a hard core Conservative Republican... and will tell anyone what a useless piece of crap he and his hippie love children friends where at that time

That's my guess.

It is no urban legend, it happened to me.

In May, 1973 following discharge from Letterman Army Medical Center, Presidio of San Francisco, California I transited to Ft, Monmouth, NJ for training in a new MOS. Still in some pain and uncomfortable from the cross country flight I was waiting near the Port Authority in NY to see if I could hook up with a couple of GIs to try to split the cab fare to Ft, Monmouth. In uniform, with only my duffel bag, I was passed by a group of about 5 or 6 Kerry types. When they passed behind me, I heard the typical insults about, heard one of them spit and felt it hit my back. I didn't see which one did it, but they were all laughing loudly and "slapping each other some skin" as the disappeared around the corner.

My Brother and his buddies were spit at and cursed by a pack of dirty hippies/war protesters as They came out the main gate at Travis AFB in 1974.

He spent two weeks drunk, And another two years wandering
around North America. He's doing OK . Wife,Kids,Mortgage,
Etc.. I can get him to talk a little about Nam when we're
by ourselves, But he never talks about coming back to the states.

The pencil neck mythbuster who put out this "Study" can go straight to Hell.

There is no justice for the 58,000 + Names on the Viet Nam Wall

There is no justice for the Brothers and Sisters
who's lives were ruined when they did come home.

My days in downtown Chicago in Sept 69, after I came home,
are as vivid now, as then.

I worked across the street from the Chicago 7 trial (Oct 69)

I witnessed the 1st major Viet Nam War protest (Oct 69)

I saw the daily anti war protests at Dailey Plaza

I was refused admission to Northwestern University (Oct 69)
because I was a Viet Nam Vet
(I would "upset" the other students)

I can't wait for the Hanoi Kerry and Dims Nov 11th
suprise for Viet Nam Vets

I'll be in my gun mount rather than at any parades tomorrow.

He forgets that the SOLDIER would, if he responded, be in serious trouble with his chain of command, and could expect to be court-martialed for assault, battery, and conduct unbecoming.

The dirty hippies who were doing the spitting didn't forget that. I have no doubt, this John was one of those dirty hippies.

This is great! Now we have documented proof! If you don't still have the arrest record, the municipality will still have them (you didn't say city or county). You need to get this proof and write a rebuttal to this guy so that all the world can see what a self-righteous clymer this guy is. If you're not inerested in that, post the place, date, and names of the folks involved and surely someone on this board will be more than happy to step up to the plate.

Well, in support of John, I guess, Viet Vets only cut off ears, cut off heads and razed villages reminiscent of Genghis Khan according to John Kerry in front of the U.S. Senate. There was no evidence of foul smelling hippies spitting on vets........ /sarcasm

Our first step forward is to recognize that we are not a society that disrespects the sacrifices of our servicemembers. We should ignore anyone who tries to tell us otherwise. Whatever our aspirations for America, those hopes must begin with a clear awareness of who we are not.

Looks like this guy forgot about the likes of Kerry, Clinton and every other left wing maggot in history. They have done nothing but disrespect all our veterans.

Growing up in the 60's and 70's and then serving during Desert Storm, I can truly say many service members were surprised at the outpouring of support after the war. I know it gave me hope for this country — and so did last Tuesday!
