"1,500 crew members of the USS Constellation signed a petition demanding
that Jane Fonda's antiwar show be allowed to perform on board"

"At home, veterans led the marches and demonstrations, including the 1971
assembly of a half-million protesters headed by a thousand Vietnam veterans,
many in wheelchairs and on crutches, who paraded up to a barricade erected
to keep them from the Capitol and hurled their Purple Hearts, Bronze Stars,
and Silver Stars at the government that had bestowed them."

Hold it. A short while ago you said this:

"How could you say that when there were more than half a million Vietnam
Vets
at the Mall in 1971 with John Kerry"

Which is it, a thousand vets or half a million?

My apologize for not read the fine print correctly, but it is not make much
of a different whether a thounsand vets or half a million protesters showed
up at the Mall. They are all american, and there were more than half a
million showed up to oppose the war. Moreover, most of America and many
Vietnam Vets believed the war was wrong.

Ok -lets take an unscientific poll.

As an American and a Vietnam Vet I believe that the United States of America
did the right thing by going to Vietnam.

Yeah sure. This was the same gang who spat on Vietnam Vets. The same
hippies who lied that they were Vietnam Vets to try to get from
benefits. Read the book Stolen Valor or go to their web site:

http://www.stolenvalor.com/

The book documents how Kerry, Fonda and the other lefties lied and
smeared real Vietnam Vets.

http://www.nyjournalnews.com/newsroo...15dadsday.html

"I had to fly from San Francisco, Travis Air Force Base, to JFK
(airport), but to get the military discount, I had to wear my uniform.
I can't describe the look of scorn I got from people," said Yonkers
resident Harvey Goldberg, who served in the Air Force in Vietnam and
whose son, Marine Sgt. David Goldberg, recently returned from Iraq.

Williams, the American Legion official, recalled that when he came
back from Vietnam in 1969 and landed in San Francisco, he and other
Marines ducked into a men's room and took off their uniforms to avoid
being berated and even spat on by people opposed to the war.

"I was so concerned that I told my friend not to tell anyone that I
served in Vietnam," he said.

During the Vietnam War -- which divided our nation like no conflict
except the Civil War -- Peaceniks such as Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda
said those who fought there were baby killers and murderers. Upon
returning home, our soldiers were abused, spat upon and in many cases
accused by their WWII and Korean War veteran fathers of being yellow
bellied punks who caused our country to lose its first war.

I'm sure the Haydens, Fondas and the wrongheaded fathers are now sorry
they attacked the young men and women who dutifully went when the
nation called. Just as most of the 13,000,000 young Americans like
Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich and Phil Gramm who didn't do their duty
and go, choosing instead to dodge the draft, now regret that decision.
And no doubt Jane Fonda laments going to the enemy's capital and
allowing herself to become a photo op with a North Viet gun crew while
her countrymen were fighting and dying on the orders of their
president.

All this sillieness is always interesting to me. I was in and out of the
San Francisco airport frequently in 1970 and 1971, in my uniform. I was
generally there on my way to and from visiting friends in Berkeley and
Oakland. I was never spit on, never received hard, bad, or evil looks,
and never had a bit of trouble or felt anything but safe and welcome.
Always makes you wonder how history is rewritten to support this or
that point someone is trying to make.
