It's been a long time. However, VENT MODE ON!
But I was spat upon, had things thrown at me, and my auto damaged. It is very unlikly that anyone was spat upon getting off of the airplane from 'Nam. Why? Because the airplanes landed at Air Force Bases. Then there was a period of processing, your free steak dinner (I got breakfast on both of my homecommings) pay call, uniform issue, etc. etc. So for some reason I didn't see any protestors on the Air Force Bases.
If one want's be selective of their data, you can prove ANYTHING.
Anyway, I'm sick of the whole subject, I don't want some chowder head telling me what a "Good Job" I did. That was probably the same chowder head that tossed a rock through my windshield because of the 4Th Inf. badge on the car.
Now it's fashonable to be pro vet. I think most of this good boy crap is from people that are trying to set them selves streight after screwing the vets over for years.
BTW I worked at a major electronics company and the first people layed off in the mid 80's was all the vets. While the YCP (young collage pukes) stayed on.
So nowdays I don't have much respect for YCP's or anyone in the press. Respect is something that someone earns, and I give what I was shown.
VENT MODE OFF,
Let's forget this crap and go have a nice round of the Hoky Poky!
