A Vietnam vet who probably still thinks the rice farmers he killed deserved it and a NYPD cop. Think I’ll take AOC on this one.
Can you democrats get any more disrespectful? You punk assed bitch you wouldn't dare say that to the face of the veterans I know. They would kick you internet tough guy ass for saying disrespectful things like that about our veterans. My guess is it was your parents spitting on returning soldiers.
This is the post that started the spitting narrative. HTH but I know it won't.
Hondo's is so fucking stupid he didn't know that the reference to spitting on soldiers was to returning Vietnam Vets. He thought people were talking spitting on Vets today or in the past 20 years.
Sweet Geezus what a dumbfuck.
Are you really that stupid?
No, but you are:
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.
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.

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.
Listen here shitdick. Look at the post I was responding to. And yes many people in this thread commented on how vets are treated.
Ok, I’m going to type this slowly so you can get it. There is a narrative that returning Vietnam vets were spit on and harassed by angry hippies. HardlyClothed is saying it didn’t happen and we? are saying it did. This is the entire tangent of spitting on veterans.
From personal experience I can tell you that America learned a lesson from how they treated the Vietnam vets and the pendulum swung the other way. When I returned from Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan I was repeatedly thanked, to the point of uncomfortable embarrassment. Although, I was single during Desert Storm and the ladies showed their gratitude in Throbber approved ways (make sure you thank your mom for me). So it’s not surprising that you haven’t witnessed your FIL get harassed during this timeframe because it’s different now*.
*edited to add: although spitting on veterans still happens, I suspect it has more to do with politics than anti-troop sentiment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The mistreatment Vietnam faced was’t not being thanked enough. It was a lack of services provided by veterans orgs and the government to deal with the horrific physical and mental damage caused by the war. The infrastructure of which is now better but not a whole lot.
