Why? only because they were American's (some drafted into the armed forces) that only did what their country mandated them to do.
I'm married to a Vietnam Vet. He was proud to have served his country and still is. I also had brothers that served during that war, cousins and uncles. I supose we were all scared that they wouldn't come home. |
I remember all of us coming back to the states and witnessing the hatred some had toward the military. It was also the first time a kid called me a Spick. The country was full of Anger. My poor father will not to this day talk about what happened in Nam. I didn't mean I was protesting the war I stood behind my father. I was protesting because I wanted love beads and a VW Wagan with Power flowers.
