"Do you take into consideration the homecoming the V.Nam vets got, after being drafted and taken from home to fight in a war they did not want, many came home to abuse, from whom anti war protesters."

This often gets said. There was this thread here, BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon? which seemed to cast quite a lot of doubt on whether it's actually true. I think most people realised that thing like the My Lai atrocity wasn't the general pattern of things, and that most soldiers felt the same revulsion at that as anyone else would.
