Veterans walk out of meeting with AOC.

You mean showing my ass like this?

The tale of the hippie spitting on returning vets in airports rendering it necessary to change in to civilian clothing is an urban myth that began in the ‘80s.

It’s not an argument whether there are first hand accounts by vietnam vets. It’s an argument that they are almost certainly lying about it because every incident follows basically the same pattern and there are almost zero contemporaneous accounts of the spitting. It’s a myth.

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.

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.

All first hand accounts are lies? Bob’s right, you really are a cunt.

I’d wager over 99% of the first hand accounts of being spit on by anti-war protestors upon returning from the war are bullshit.

My father in law wears his Vietnam vet hat often. In the 23 years I've known him. There's easily over 100 times I've seen someone thank him for his service. Not once has anyone ever been rude to him in any way. This is in Seattle, Montana, Spokane, southern California, and Phoenix over the years.

No one’s saying that Vietnam veterans were getting spit on from 1996-2019, they’re saying they got spit on in the 70’s. Are you really this obtuse? Don’t answer, it was rhetorical.

Great story, has nothing to do with the subject matter.

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.

He is an anti-American piece of shit who loves to side with America's enemies and critics.

Two incidents reported on in the early 1970s.

In the Dec. 27, 1971, CBS News segment, Pickett tells reporter Dean, “Man, I got into the airport and these two dudes walked up—one of them spit at me.”


In a June 2, 1971, Washington Post article, Minarik says that hours after his Dec. 10, 1968, discharge from the Army, two people spat on him as he walked an Oakland, Calif., street.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/03/vietnam-vet-delmar-pickett-jr-stands-by-his-spit-story-from-35-years-ago.html

And the articles relates how there are discrepancies now than with Pickett’s original telling, and that it shares the same outline as the urban myth: returning from the airport, hippie spit in them, wanted to change into civilian clothing ASAP. You walked right into it Bob you dumbass.

Dumbfuck, you claimed that these spitting stories only started to crop up in the 1980s. I just provided you with evidence of two these spitting stories from 1971. You lied Kunt.

The myth that started in the 80s is that treatment of returning vietnam vets was terrible on the whole. That it was widespread. That’s untrue. You found two accounts from the 70s where the vets give sketchy accounts of being spit on that follow the outline of the myth. And the other was a fight at a high school football game. Wow kids never fight at high school football games. You’re so full of shit all the time.

What's your birth year, HC?

If you took it out of your mouth from time to time I wouldn't talk about it. Now god dammit why aren't we talking about the Social Security.

I'm more than just a person with a dick in their mouth. You choose to see what you want to see.

Where is all the outrage for companies and people inside companies that actively seek wars to make obscene profits? Instead in this thread the focus is on disrespectful people that were going to do disrespectful things whether it fits a news reporters agenda or not.

Because the thread title is "Veterans Walk out of Meeting..."


You are free to start a thread called "Obscene profits...."

Ya this thread wasnt made about spitting on veterans.

Wow. What a liberal asshole. Is there any question that libs like this dipfuck were horrible to returning vets? Look at what this punk is saying. His parents need a swift kick in the ass for producing this horrible individual.
