Thread Name: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Subject: RE: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Bobert, I was not addressing you on the question of whether or not Viet Nam Vets were sipt on. I was speaking to GUEST, but since you seemed to see fit to respond for GUEST, I will address these remarks to you.
I don't know where you got the idea that I think that the spitting was widespread. I said that "some of us" were spit on. I guess that isn't exact enough but I don't have precise numbers to quote. I personally know of two men to whom it happened.
You also mentioned that "Boss Hog" (whoever that is) is fostering the "lie" and that when you stand up to that "lie" people who challenge you are, in effect, spitting on you.
Bobert, I haven't the faintest idea what "lie" you are talking about.
That's a nice piece of convoluted logic. You admit that it happened and then call it a lie.
You say that I do not represent the average vet (I never said I did, that's your invention) but you cheerfully claim that you know that if the spitting happened, it was done by a very small percentage of anti-war protesters.
Since I notice that you have said goodbye to this thread, I will PM this post to you .
