<p>Hereshoping: That’s what I said essentially, though I used slightly less salty language. Go back and re-read it. But yes, the people who spat at the soldiers coming home and/or whatever else they did – even if was just cold-shouldering – felt the soldiers should have gone AWOL or resisted the draft. As I understand it, that did happen. But that’s not happening now. So why the canard suggesting that it is? That was a different time. Now we (the Royal We, I was too young) don’t blame the soldier for the Commander-in-Chief’s crimes or mistakes.</p>
<p>In case my writing caused confusion, the “these people” starting a sentence mid to late in the paragraph was meant to refer to soldiers. Maybe that’s where the confusion arose, and sorry if I was unclear.</p>
