Thanks for the clarification Sis - I was mistaken and my apologies for it.

GUEST - It has been documented somewhere, and I apologize for not having a link to it, about those you reference being in direct contact with the North Vietnamese during the Viet Nam War. These "intellectual pacifists" worked hand in hand with the North Vietnamese to keep Americans in a bad light to facilitate an ending to the war.

Oh yeah - just remembered - It's in a book called "Stolen Valor" - written by a Viet Nam Veteran about how the war cost my generation the social conventions normally accorded veterans doing a job for a country. I can't remember the author's name but he related this directly to the poor treatment by the peace folks back home towards the returning veterans and the subsequent poor treatment in the VA hospitals as documented in "Born on the Fourth of July" by Ron Kovic. And by a bunch of us who experienced first hand the deplorable treatment accorded the wounded.

I was unimpressed by the book but he did lay out a case, factual as hell, for the above scenario.
