I don't see how you can say that Paco, If anything I think there is a lot of patriotism in our country. I see more and more veterans wearing some type of clothing that idnicates they are vets. I for one have been approached by people from our generation who didn't support the war in Nam, but have now said, We should have relaized that it wasn't the people in the military who caused the war, and I want to thank you for serving. Maybe it's 30 years later, but people are starting to have a more positive outlook on vietnam vets, and other vets. There are protesters we saw that yesterday on the news. Here in CA you do see a lot of hemming and hawing at events were the National Anthem is played. At the air show here yesterday in Sacramento, there were 50,000 people who went to see the Blue Angles fly, and they vistided the many other military exhibits that were at old Mather AFB ( now closed down). I got to thank a National Guardsman for serving in Iraq. He seemed to think that we vietnam vets had it worse then they did. Where he gets that from I don't know. Combat is combat, just different locations that's all.
