Why The Critics Hate Rambo: Last Blood

and you response was...

you don't like the author of the book proving you wrong.

Go away little boy.

No, my response was, the Author of the book did nothing to verify his claims, and had a record of journalistic MISCONDUCT.

Where is the evidence? Evidence would consist of a police report or contemporary journalistic account of a spitting incident.

Searching the news archives for evidence of spat-upon returning Viet vets.

But for all his industry, Lindgren has failed so far to produce a contemporaneous news account—or other corroborative evidence—of a protester ambushing a returning veteran with a gob of spit, which I take as the main point of Lembcke’s book, Spitting Image: Myth, Memory, and the Legacy of Vietnam.

I, too, have been probing the newspaper archives. As I’ve written before, I’m prepared to believe that returning Vietnam vets were ambushed at the airports by protesters. I just want to see the evidence.
