While it thankfully hasn't happened to our returning Iraq Soldiers. Australian soldiers returning from Vietnam got spat on aswell. They were expecting to be treated, Like their heroic Fathers and Grandfathers, But got nothing but a slap in the face from people (And our Government)...Trully shamefull.

I feel sorry for what the American Veterans on here experienced... Intelligently Protesting is one thing!, But just spitting on any Veteran, Of any Country!, Of any war!, Is just wrong!, No matter If you support that war or not?

Please understand that those low-life morons are in the People's Republik of California. If those hippie dirtbags tried that crap in most any other place in the US, they would find themselves waking up in the hospital.

The radical Left in this nation is deserving of nothing more than derision and hostiliity. Nothing would make me happier than to beat the hell out of some of those brainless oxygen-thieves.

Oooh, and if you're part of the radical right, you deserve the same.

How can you possibly condemn an entire group of people for something that may or may not have happened?

If indeed this did occur 40 years ago, how do you know that those people aren't republicans today? Don't have a clue, do you?

I don't understand US politics enough to comment. I was just saying, That it's wrong to spit on any soldier, Who serves their country and was just trying to give the Australian view of returning Vietnam Vets.

I'm sorry if I inadvertedly hit a nerve.

Kum bay ah o lord, kum bay ah...... quit while you're ahead. Your ignorance and naive commentary is quite telling. You've heard of the term "shooting fish in a barrel"? Well my dear, you're the trout in this case.

Don't sweat it. Those radical leftist kooks are in a very, very small minority. Most Americans would "take care of matters" if such a thing happened in their presence.

Satch, if you've got some proof or something real to say other than jingoistic, unfounded brouhaha, feel free.

Otherwise your silly little comments mean nothing.
