Now..that was then and this is now.
The men and women who went to Viet Nam are not seemingly held in the same reference as the people who participated in the world wars.....they should be for no matter what the politics of the situation was at the time these people either volunteered or were drafted to go to fight, to become prisoners of war, to kill and be killed. Most didn't even know why they were there.....They were upon return not given the ticker tape parades or the kudos that they were entitled to. They did what the government deemed necessary for them to do but in the end, backs were turned on them....it is a gross miscarriage of justice for those that served their country and gave their lives up. They are veterans that deserve the same pride and respect afforded to the men and women that participated in the previous wars.......I should shut up while I am ahead for I haven't mentioned Korea yet
....or the others
But I think you all can get my drift
