This is the way it SHOULD be

I feel your pain Ray... I've been called a 'Baby Killer' (and gotten into a bunch of fights) more times than I've been told "Thank You" since my two tours...

The public has this misconception that everyone that goes 'over there' kills civilians and beats prisoners....









edit to add... I will never be able to completely understand the level of disrespect that Ray encountered upon re-entering the US. All I can do is offer my similar incidents.

Shit, I used to love getting called a baby killer.

Well, considering I've never had to discharge my weapon towards the enemy or advance on an enemy pos, I consider 'baby killer' quite an insult. But that's just me...

I didn't kill any babies either. I consider the source. First time it happened to me was in an airport, like Ray. I rolled my eyes and kept going. The second time was in a convenience store. I growled and feigned movement in her direction - that was fun seeing the look of shock on her face. Yeah, both times were women.
 
Both my father and my father in law served in Vietnam and all I can say is THANKS, from me and my family to every veteran then and now. I feel ashamed the way you were treated then and all I can say is I make sure that we don't do the same to this generation of warriors. Hate the war if you must but never the soldier.
