<p>This reminds me of the vietnam war, people didn’t give a ***** about the soldiers returning.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Huh? I’m not sure where you are getting that idea.</p>
<p>I was still in high school when we pulled out of Vietnam, and it had dominated my entire childhood. While many were against the draft, I don’t remember being against those that had been drafted. I still remember a POW/MIA bracelet that I wore for several years <a href=“from%20a%20project%20started%20by%20college%20students”>url=http://www.pow-miafamilies.org/ </a>, until my soldier was found and returned to the states 
, whereupon I was able to send it to him.</p>
<p>I realize while reading history books may give you the impression that many were against the soldiers, and the support they received from the government when they returned was minimal, ( no veteran should ever be homeless or without medical care IMO), I dont remember the average American as being hostile to soldiers. However it had gone on for so long, that I think it was understandable that they were tired of hearing about the “conflict”.</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess the ones who called them baby killers and stuff got the most attention.</p>
<p>of course that sort of thing is going to get more media coverage, sensationalist sound bites always do.</p>
