It seems like you people are arguing about someone was spit on in the 60's or 70's. Why. I saw news reports and video that documented returning soldiers being spat upon when returning from service overseas. Seems like it was mostly in airports. Seems like they were the same rifraf that does all this "occupy" crap. No one spat upon me when I came home from overseas. Good thing, I was a rather angry young man back in those days.
Anecdote =/= data.
Good solid proof is so much better than vague memories.
if you could link to or cite any contemporaneous video or print account of soldiers being spat upon it would be a first.
After you get a contemporaneous account, you'll want a police report, or lie detector test, or something else, but what the heck, here are just 2 of the many out there ---
As I read this topic thread the predictable becomes obvious. Everything divides, yet again, to polar politicized opposites of opinion and hyperbole and the reality of the topic is trampled upon and over.
It can be a testament to youthful idealism allowing emotion-fueled motivations to override all considerations of reason. Decisions made solely upon self-gratifying and self-imposed emotional duress are most times incorrect. Emotion begets a narrow focus of perspective and blinds one to all rational discourse.
Ironically, thru the democratic process the letter writer was allegedly fighting for in Vietnam.
To be more accurate you may wish to consider amending this comment to read...

I say this, because anything involving Dame Pelosi must be viewed in this contemporary light of a failed system, because the Legislative Branch of government, corrupted as it is, has completely failed to execute it's constitutional powers to impose accountability and restraint upon the Executive Branch as per the Checks and Balances built into our Constitution.

Why are you guys so invested in this lie? Why do you wanna believe it so badly?
Number 1, I spent 2 tours in Nam and know from personal stories from friends. There are many, many stories from vets saying THEY were spit on.
Are you calling everyone of them a liar?
Number 2. Prove it DIDN'T happen.
There many posters who say it never happened. They didn't see EVERY vet when the returned, so how do they know.
It is kinda like saying lynchings of blacks never happened because I didn't see it.
