The Iraq War isn't very popular. There you had Americans torturing prisoners and posing them in nude positions and taking pictures. Thats kinda icky and violent. |

After VN, During the first few years of my career I did witness occasional 'bad' or rude behavior by US citizens toward US servicemembers. There was often a general hatred of servicemembers in some cities. I was hassled by cops in Newport News Virginia, spent a night in a cell, I ended up paying a $100 fine. They said they did not like sailors being loose off-base or 'on the beach' as we called it. |

My experience was walking through San Francisco A.P. Where a young woman came up to me and spat out the words, "kill anyone this week" with a glare in her eye, the young fellow with her apologized and stated that the woman didn't really understand. In that one incident the summation of my return home can be found, sometimes I was greeted, sometimes I was reviled. It didn't just end there, the media loved its deranged psycho killer vet character, there was always some Green Beret lunatic, killing, or harming someone, so that the Good non-vet could come to the rescue, needless to say this didn't promote a positive image of the returning Vietnam Vet.
