In large part,

you're correct. However, the idea that US troops were maltreated when they returned is vastly exaggerated. It is a constant whine without substantiation.

Should the troops have been _praised_--as they self-centeredly insist--for having further the wrong? No, in the instant case; and no so as not to perpetuate the lies which endeavor to obscure that wrong.

No more Viet Nams!
