Thank you Arizona! A tough job and well done. The Vietnam Veterans were as potent a fighting force as the USA ever assembled. Why they were treated with disdain, scorn and contempt upon their return is the greatest shame in our entire USA History. I do not have any idea what must have been going through their minds. Shame on them and may they burn and rot in Hell for these most horrendous acts. Today people don't even care-its not as bad-but its still awful. 16 years in Afghanistan-and still no light at the end of the tunnel. I could never blame a soldier-a politician-you bet.

The treatment of our returning troops from Vietnam was the greatest crime committed by our domestic enemies. Also being sent there in the 1st place by our cowardly & corrupt politicians was a close second act of betrayal. There treatment by the media was another act of betrayal. The Vietnam vets as well as any returning vets are true heroes & should be given some form of reparations for their sacrifices and bravery.

Nice to see some ARVN perspectives too. Thousands and thousands lost at sea in tiny boats for years after the war was over. Dreams turned into shark food after all the hell in their homeland.

Shout out to Bernardo. He got out of the army after one tour and went back to the recruiter, and went straight back in that takes a large ball sack … shout out to all my major combat veterans who reenlisted in theater, knowing you’re coming back….

When my Uncle George came back on March 1972 when I was just shy of 4 years old at Sky Harbor Airport. I was waiting for him at the terminal along with my parents and family coming home from Vietnam via Fort Campbell Kentucky. I saw him in his awesome looking dress greens as a Paratrooper NCO of the 101st Airborne. I then saw a beer can being thrown at him by some guy who was wearing a buckskin hat and jacket and calling him a "Motherfucker!". I saw my Uncle George run up to him and kick this dude in the nuts and kick and head stomped him bloody until he started crying bad. Uncle George did not stop until the cops grabbed him and took him back to us. That fucking Hippie got arrested. I saw my Uncle George with rage and tears in his eyes that nobody will ever spit on a Paratrooper and will not take shit from any cock sucker. Uncle George was not a man to be fucked with. Arizonan combat veterans are proud and patriotic. Never mess with a rattlesnake, because it can kill you.
