This brings me to the point of this piece. The Vietnam War was unpopular; we all know that and as a result, many focused their anger on the veterans themselves. This is exactly what we can use as Vietnam veterans to make sure what happened to us never happens again in this country. Never again will America throw away a generation of young veterans. In some areas, there has been small moves toward this. Just Google “hate the troops” or “f–k the troops.” You will find places where they still use the rhetoric of 40+ years ago against this new generation of soldiers. Fortunately it is small and rather unpopular, but if it ever comes anywhere near what it was when we came home, they will awaken a sleeping giant consisting of white haired old veterans and grandpas who are tough and fearless and who will happily give their lives over to this group of young soldiers coming home from overseas. Because of the Vietnam veteran and what we experienced, we can say never again will this country throw away a generation of veterans.
