My last 2 tours were in Viet Nam, 1970-72. I flew to Travis AFB,Ca, to get discharged. After prosessing out, I went to the air port to fly back to NY, in uniform, to get the military discount. There I was meet by many groups, including, Hare Krishnas, who then preceded to throw, poop, pee, rocks and other debris at me and other military people and showered us with tons of verbal abuse.
I spent 54 months overseas out of 60 months I served in the Air Force.
The world,meaning the USA, had changed a lot during that time period.
From that day on it was very dangerous to admit you spent any time in Viet Nam.
