You're right, there were no parades for Vietnam war vets, nor for Korean war vets, but that's because we didn't win those wars and the country regretted having sacrificed our young people and our money for the Vietnam war. Because there were no parades, though, does not mean vets came home to disdain and lack of support. It just was a terrible truth that you were used cynically by our government officials for wars everyone wished we'd not been sucked into and so many of you knew it. It was and is a bitter pill to swallow, but that does not equate to lack of support.
