"We only do what the government tells us is right"

The one good thing about the Vietnam War is we no longer blindly follow what the government tells us is right...we now question the motives of the government and those that govern. We don't do the lock-step anymore, at least unquestioningly. The Vietnam veterans have been getting their thanks for twenty years now. Many, many thousands are receiving monthy checks from the federal government because they are traumatized with PTSD. Many cannot work at all. So when you think about war, remember wars are costly, not only in horrible loss of life, and scarred minds, but also in the tax dollars we will continue to foot for their medical treatment and living expenses for many years. Anyone out there have photographs of vets being spit on? It would seem this was the national pastime, yet I never read anything about it in the 1960s or 1970s. Never saw it reported on TV, never talked to a vet who actually got spit on. Where was all this spitting going on anyway? Small towns? Cities? Baseball games? Anyone have photos of vets returning from Vietnam and being spit on in the airports? Or was there a conspiracy to cover up the spit?
