Default So It Begins

Shades of Viet Nam all over again.In those days many
of our returnees were called baby killers.
Now Ive read a Boston Paper were a seriously wound
soldier was called A baby killer upon his return
to the states. I hope this is not happening in your country

You will always get some people who disagree with what a soldier does or with where he/she has been sent and will call them this sort of thing. I am afraid. to me, freedom of speech or not that newspapers that print that sort of rubbish should be closed down and the reporters forced to seek work in another type of work like cleaning out sewer pipes with their toothbrush.

I know our returning troops are treated well when they return.

I sincerly hope that this is just a one off thing.


cheers
Cliff
