I don't want to ever see the day returning vets are treated like Vietnam vets were.
I worry sometimes though. I had a conversation with a hospital corpsman who just returned from duty in Iraq. He's a great guy, a hell of a corpsman and can outrun nearly all the marines he served with. He's also a Philly-born and raised happy to admit democrat. Too bad for him it didn't protect him when he went to surprise his girlfriend at penn state university in his dress uniform, some college kids spit on him and called him a war criminal. I never thought I would see something like that in my time, but I guess its reached that point. Disilluisonment's a bitch.
