You`re posting an opinion piece and calling it proof that people were spit on? Nobody ever claimed to be spit on until they heard Rambo say it in 1982. Opinion pieces trashing Lembcke`s work are a dime a dozen.Yes spitting occurred and much more than people realize. Any who buy into are as deluded as far right reactionaries are about commies under their bed.

Dr. Jerry Lembcke a professor at Holy Cross, published a book in 1998 entitled "The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory, and the Legacy of Vietnam" in which Lembcke asserts that Vietnam Veterans were never
Lembcke, a staunch anti-war activist, member of "Vietnam Veterans Against the War", and to this day, a leading critic of U.S. foreign policy has become the sole "academic" reference for the repudiation of the spitting myth. To say he is biased would be an understatement.
To the surprise of no one, the media and many current anti-war groups quickly accepted Lembcke's assertions in an attempt to rehabilitate an anti-war movement devoid of credibility. Unfortunately, to anyone who reads his book, Lembcke's work is flawed at every level and wouldn't be worthy of mention except that it is now the single source cited by anyone wishing to ignore historical fact and propagate Lembcke's position that Vietnam Vets were not spit on. This is exactly why the anti-war movement has no credibility with mainstream Americans: Many are against the war but few want to be lumped in with these wild eyed ex-hippies trying to convince the American people their servicemen committed war crimes and atrocities against the Vietnamese.

Being a Gunners Mate carries a sense of pride on a Destroyer because they work on the 6" and 8" guns, along with the smaller stuff. I would have hated to serve on a Destroyer. I was on a carrier....basically a city on the water. 3 years going out to sea doing flight-ops for John McCain types. Naval Aviators. Got the hell out in 79'. Went back in to the Army in 84'. Served under President's Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Senior, and Clinton.I was gunner's mate and served in Nam' two tours, and just where did you serve ? kiddie cruising?
So, who gives a fuck?
Seriously.
The article destroys Lembcke's nonsense. There is no factual way to disprove the fact that veterans were spit upon.You`re posting an opinion piece and calling it proof that people were spit on? Nobody ever claimed to be spit on until they heard Rambo say it in 1982. Opinion pieces trashing Lembcke`s work are a dime a dozen.Yes spitting occurred and much more than people realize.

Stallone got the idea from reports and personal accounts from vets. Claiming it never happened is just denial. We have videos of blacks spitting on cops, staredowns in Missouri, and Muslims spitting on cameramen in Michigan. It's difficult to get away with that sort of thing anymore now that we have the Internet and youtube. But you can always claim it never happened in the 60s and 70s.You`re posting an opinion piece and calling it proof that people were spit on?

This thread is for Vietnam era vets. And my guess the only thing you did in country was drink and chase whores.Look you fat fucking Squid, I've seen most of Asia, a good deal of the Pacific including Hawaii, Guam, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, the P.I., Singapore, seen Europe, and parts of Africa and the Middle-East. Been to the Azores, Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, lived in Germany for a couple of years and visited the UK. Spent time on the Thames River and seen the Tower of London. I've spent so much time traveling that I don't feel the need to travel outside of the U.S. anymore. Well, except Germany. Loved that place.proves you were never inIf you were in the military during that time you didn't even have to go Vietnam to be called baby-killers.
The same motherfuckers that were spitting on us are now running the Democrap party.
For someone who loves wearing Russian headgear, which I saw in your photos in the gallery .....that means dick.
hey low IQ boy I got that when I visited russia in the 1980's , unlike a dumb pud like you you is scared of leaving this country to see the wold
I wasn't stuck on a Tin Can thinking that was my claim to fame. I'm a Shellback, and I still have the certificate to prove it. If anything, being a Squid was a bit embarrassing at times, which is why I got out. Instead of being stuck out at sea all of the time, I decided to join the Army after college. So you can take that smack you keep talking, and shove it up that loose rectum of yours along with your pathetic political beliefs, which is exactly where they belong. I'm sure there's plenty of room for it up there. Dirtbags like you actually think that intelligence is measured by which political party you belong to. That brainwashing is designed to make it easier for you lemmings to hate the opposition. If you don't respect them it makes it easy to believe they're wrong. And you leftists are as wrong as you could be.
Why is it so easy to be a Democrat? Because it removes accountability, responsibility, morals, values, or anything that might force you to stand up for your beliefs. They teach you to hate your country and teach you to show no respect for the sacrifices of your brothers in arms. You're the first motherfucker I'd be watching to see if they're selling secrets to the enemy. Having held a TS/SCI clearance, I went through training on how to spot the type that would do it. Visits to Russia during the Cold War was one of the indicators. Wearing Communist headgear and uniforms...yet another. Bet you have posters of Stalin and Chairman Mao in your bathroom so you can jerk off. No wonder you like sticking your tongue so far up Obama's ass.I'm a Shellback, and I still have the certificate to prove it.
you and a million of us, so what war did you serve in? this thread is for vietnam vets not keyboard warriors
you weren't in nam, the HT rate was a made up rate in 72' ,a girlie man rateThis thread is for Vietnam era vets.

Nope...I wasn't in Nam. And HT or Hull Maint Technician was a rate that was used in the 70s. It combined Damage-control Specialist with Ship-fitters to make one rate. I heard it was phased out after I ETSed.

However, my MOS when I retired was SFC 18E....Special Forces Commo Sgt. Better known to you dirtbags as "Green Beret".
You try to do this in an actual history class and you would receive a failing grade.,
That...and know math.You try to do this in an actual history class and you would receive a failing grade.,
The only thing you have to do in a history class these days to receive a passing grade is (a) be a socialist (b) hate Republicans (c) hate Bush
Those three elements - plus being a complete fucking dingbat, will earn you a degree by today's standards- no problem, nutsack.

I suppose it all came out in the wash. I lost an arm and part of a shoulder but I did get an electrical engineering degree from VPI with the G.I. Bill. I probably would not have gone to college were it not for the G.I. Bill. Nothing is free.

Having been stationed in Frisco during 'Nam, I can tell you that instances of being spat upon by Hippies were common.
Those of us stationed on the Presidio were warned not to wear our uniforms off base unless we were in our POVs driving to and from work.
And it didn't necessarily take a uniform to get ragged on, insulted, and yes, spat upon. Our GI haircuts stuck out and often received the Hippie Love Kiss.
