Bush intel?
that is crap. it has nothing to do with how they are treated when they "get home".
all this nonsense about how badly the Viet Nam veterans were treated is bushwa distraction for the real problem which is that government did almost nothing to help them deal with their drug addictions (started in Viet Nam) nor their post traumatic stress syndrome... for which there is really no cure. The correlation is how much horror they have seen or committed and how crazy they are going to be afterwards. And medical and mental care for many is going to be a lifetime of support. something our citizens seems to be unwilling to think about much less make sure it is going to be there. the gov'ments response to agent orange, gulf war syndrome etc is the fund a commission to look into it and take enough time that most of the victims die before getting help. it has started already for our kids coming home with parts missing or dead... we are not allowed to even see images of the coffins. and the seriously injured are already dropping thru the cracks and due to the extended tour many of them have lost their jobs. I dont know anybody who treated returning VN vets badly when they returned. Maybe there was a couple incidents, they made the news but it sure wasnt the norm or average. Warm welcomes by strangers really isnt therapy for the horrors they have seen and been thru. The real bad treatment was our gov'ment abdicating responsibility for them after they returned home.
