You are right, it's to bad we weren't welcomed home during the war, not spit on!
People here still look down on us that served at that time.
Even the VA, Veterans Administration

Wayne, rest assured that the 'looking down' mentality is still alive and kicking over here as well.

I just see it as another manifestation of the Tall Poppy syndrome Seejay....sour grapes from a group of society who are destined to be forever the faceless, unknown and useless non-achievers who never contirbute to society, snipe at the achievements of those who do, and who expect to be clothed, fed and protected by the rest of society. _________________ Robin (Bob) King

I haven't found any animosity or come across anyone that looks down on Vietnam Vets. Actually I have found people to be the exact opposite, it may be because I only get involved on Anzac Day or Vietnam Vet's Remberance Day.
I thought that most of the public perception had changed.
