Early 60’s. Some of first memories were following the war. Now what’s yours and everyone who claims to know how vietnam vets were treated when they returned from the war?PurpleThrobber said:

The “vitriol” Vietnam vets faced returning home was mostly a fabrication developed decades later as demonstrated in this thread. Most people were happy to see their family and peers return alive. Jane Fonda still? Fuck you for falling for that revisionist bullshit and doing an actual disservice to vietnam vets by misrepresenting their experience.Baseman said:
I’m a Lib. Kennedy and LBJ shouldn’t have sent our boys to Nam. Many thanks and respect to those who served and defended my rights to be a Dem. Crawling around in a dank swamp in 100 heat and humidity dodging water snakes, mosquitos and the Cong was no joke.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Bingo, glad you can continue to show your colors and illustrate what the Left has to offer. I'm actually glad you are here in the Tug for that purpose.HardlyClothed said:
He’s almost certainly lying about his treatment by anti-war protestors at UW and is probably just another right-wing dipshit, like his kid, who fabricated those details for the sake of hippie-punching.UW_Doog_Bot said:Hi there dumbfucks,
My dad was drafted into Vietnam, served in the special forces in some of the worst shit you can imagine, and then went to UW and was a lot more than spit on by anti-war protesters. To this fucking day, he is reluctant to tell people he doesn't know of his veteran status because of the stigma that surrounded being a Vietnam veteran in that era.
I have no doubt you'll dismiss or rationalize this to fit your worldview. Sincerely, go fuck yourselves.
So Fuck off Hardly Clothed. The vitriol our Nam vets got returning home was real and undeserved. Ask a real Nam vet what they think of Jane Fonda. That will tell you all you need to know.
I feel bad for berating you now. For if you are truly in your mid 50's and have this level of awareness, intelligence and memory of history, I may be better served kicking puppies. -
Coming from the guy repeating the urban myth that vietnam vets were spit on upon returning home from the war. It didn’t happen.salemcoog said:

Flimsy accounts only found in that article. The widespread belief that spitting occurred began in the 80s.SFGbob said:
Actually the fact that there were two accounts from 1971, by GI's who said they were spit upon isn't in dispute. What's also not in dispute is your lie about these stories not originating until the 1980s.HardlyClothed said:
You posted an article with the same anecdotes as one posted by Bob the details of which are in dispute. That’s all you can find because that’s all their is and it doesn’t amount to anything.USMChawk said:HardlyClothed is taking his talking points from another socialist, Jerry Lembcke. Here’s an article by a Vietnam vet who lived it, not some revisionist bullshit.

LEAVE!!!!HustlinOwl said:I wasn't alive back then, but is this similar to when Tea Party members were spitting on Democratic Congressman?
You don't have the intellect, humor or self awareness to be here. And take all of your faggot Shed poasty come lately buddies with ya. -
I was willing to believe it was just youth and indoctrination. Turns out the reality is old and improperly medicated. Sad indeed.USMChawk said:Another poaster divorced from reality. At an OBK level. Sad.

Do a google image search on this and you see endless links talking about how the Nixon administration used the false narrative of anti-war protesters spitting on returning vets to try and stamp out dissent for the war. Thanks for your posts HCRaceBannon said:

They were contemporaneous newspaper accounts from 1971. Your lie that this stories didn't start until the 1980s is a flat-out lie.HardlyClothed said:

That's the problem with the left. They are a bunch of pussies who refuse to live up or take credit for their own actions
Also saw a lot of Hanoi Jane in the google search. I suppose that is a myth too
Own it pussies. It happened.
