I didnt see any of it, and I went to school with vets. How much of this did you
actually see in NY?

Just as a datapoint-- I came home from Vietnam in July of 1970 to
rural upstate New York.

I was *never* disrespected, and was even thanked a few times. I also
drank for free for 30 days until I reported to first North Carolina,
then Virginia---- Nobody ever gave me shit about my service.

Maybe because I was a pretty lean mean 6'3"--- maybe I just never ran
into any idjits. There were a couple VVAW guys in the barracks in
VA. We all worked together during the week & went our separate ways
on the weekends.
