seconding guessing who was right or wrong may depend on if we won, or lost the war.
I remember being heckled in uniform during Vietnam....so I guess I am the wrong one.
I also believe that both of those men were found to have had strong pro-**** leanings. In case it matters, which it probably doesn't, I said I was vilified for not supporting the government during VN, it had nothing to do with you personally, or the military in general. BTW I also served in the US Navy during VN, just not in theater. It is possible to discuss issues without personal attacks, or misconstruing statements. No one who serves this country honorably is wrong, however, that doesn't mean those in power weren't wrong or worse. To challenge another's patriotism is simply wrong without proper justification and I take offense at those among us who choose to do so. The military is there to protect and defend those who can't do so for themselves, not for self aggrandizement or thanks.
