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.

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:

Btw, find me a newspaper article from 1971 that reports on a liquor store being robbed. Go see how many articles you can find. Using your Kunt logic, there must not have been any liquor store robberies in 1971.

Seems like you find people that served in Vietnam are all alike. It’s easier for bigots to formulate and present their bigotry that way.
The Vietnam vets that threw away their medals and marched to end that nightmare are good people. The ones that don’t want to reconcile their participation in a brutal imperial adventure and are proud of what they did in Vietnam can fuck off.
So fucking dumb. Jesus Christ. Why didn't your parents kill you? -
Total horseshit. Not surprised you're dumb enough to believe it.HardlyClothed said:
The disrespect and stigma came largely from WWII vets who looked down on Vietnam vets for their failures in the war. Not the anti-war left. And there were plenty of right-wing efforts to divide returning vets from the anti-war left by blaming them for “losing the war at home”. 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.Gilbystaint said:
I served just post Vietnam. The disrespect and stigma was very real even towards me.HardlyClothed said:
Indoctrination is believing the spitting hippie urban legend without any contemporaneous supporting evidence. All you have is vets claiming mistreatment decades later and exposing the fabrications in the process. But it’s a convenient way to blame the left for “undermining” the war effort in Vietnam that was doomed from the start. Clearly you’re dumb enough to fall for it.salemcoog said:
This doesn’t read as you may think it does Mercer Island. All this says is that A: If a vet returned home and was a friend or family member of a dirty hippy, they didn’t spit on him/her. B: It says that spitting hippies favor vets that returned home over Congress.allpurpleallgold said:HardlyClothed said:

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.HardlyClothed said: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.
I told her that, on the contrary, opponents of the war had actually tried to recruit returning veterans. I told her about a 1971 Harris Poll survey that found that 99 percent of veterans said their reception from friends and family had been friendly, and 94 percent said their reception from age-group peers, the population most likely to have included the spitters, was friendly.
A follow-up poll, conducted in 1979 for the Veterans Administration (now the Department of Veterans Affairs), reported that former antiwar activists had warmer feelings toward Vietnam veterans than toward congressional leaders or even their erstwhile fellow travelers in the movement.
So fake news go all the way back to the 70s.
This article does nothing to support your indoctrinated bullshit that protesters didn’t spit on returning vets and call them baby killers. -
This comic is instructive because it follows the same outline as the fabricated version. Hippie waiting at the airport, calling him a babykiller, and spitting on the vet. Strange how so many people share the same exact account of these incidents!RaceBannon said:

The antiwar left did a lot of great things during the war to build public pressure help bring it to its eventual conclusion. And lefties should happily own that. They didn’t spit on returning vets however, and they didn’t “lost the war at home” either. That’s revisionist bullshit.RaceBannon said:

Myself, I voted for Gore, Kerry and Obama the first time. But Come around 2010 I'd heard and seen enough to know that today's Democrats were the most corrupt faction in the History of American politics. ID politics was now the name of the game at home and Much of their foreign policy devolved to put America's interest in a backseat to Europe and ME countries wants. But still I was so scared of Trump's unprecedented, un-presidential rhetoric, that I actually voted for Hilary. But I vowed to give whoever won that steam pile of an election in 2016 a chance. And so I have. Both parties suck. But only one of them hates their country and the values that built it up.
First, congrats on admitting the Hillary vote. Not many here do or admit to a Trump vote like I do
Question is - does the Joe Bidden Reunion tour do it for you or have the last couple of years soured the whole Obama Myth?

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.
HC realizes he's lost the argument and now seeks to hide his embarrassment by pretending he's not a weasel.

“Returning Vietnam vets getting spit on by lefties is an urban legend meant to shift the blame from the older veterans and vet organizations that let them down.”
I haven’t deviated from the only mistreatment they really faced was from vets of previous wars and the government’s inability to provide adequate services. Idiot. -

So I looked it up and in ‘04 the judicial watch nutjobs found that Kerry had only thrown away his ribbons instead of his medals, which he had claimed. And that he threw away other people’s medals who couldn’t attend the protest. Presumably they asked him to do so. So it was a bullshit Bushie claim.SFGbob said:

What’s the point of your weird ranting about Kerry exactly? I said the vets that threw away their medals were heroes and never mentioned Kerry. His testimony to congress was great however. Bob’s mind is a palace of strange resentments. -
The entire point of that protest was a rejection of the symbols of heroism and service that the Military had bestowed on them by tossing away your medals. Tossing away someone else's medals while making people think that you were tossing away your own medals is pure bullshit. And how John Kerry of Mr. I voted for it before I voted against it to try and have it both ways. He tossed away his "ribbons" but kept the medals.HardlyClothed said:
So I looked it up and in ‘04 the judicial watch nutjobs found that Kerry had only thrown away his ribbons instead of his medals, which he had claimed. And that he threw away other people’s medals who couldn’t attend the protest. Presumably they asked him to do so. So it was a bullshit Bushie claim.SFGbob said:

I’m not familiar with this claim and don’t really care. Got a link? Or is this the swift boat bullshit that Kerry didn’t really earn his medals in Vietnam? Wouldn’t be surprising coming from a Bushie hog like you.SFGbob said:
He wasn't a politician when he tossed away someone else's Medals. Nice dodge.HardlyClothed said:SFGbob said:The Vietnam vets that threw away their medals and marched to end that nightmare are good people.
How about the ones like John Kerry who threw away someone else's medals but pretended he was throwing away his until the tide changed and it became advantageous for him to run on his war hero status and then he proudly displayed his medals? Good person?
How about the guys who were complete frauds and who were never even in Vietnam but talked about the atrocities they'd seen and participated in? Good people?
Kerry is fine in my book for going in front of congress and asking who will be the last to die for a mistake. Took more balls than you have to do that. Poltician John Kerry isn’t as good as that version however.
What’s the point of your weird ranting about Kerry exactly? I said the vets that threw away their medals were heroes and never mentioned Kerry. His testimony to congress was great however. Bob’s mind is a palace of strange resentments.
I noticed you said nothing about the "good people" who were never even in Vietnam but claimed they'd witnessed atrocities there.
