Returning US Marines, Soldiers, Coast Guardsmen, Airmen, and US Sailors had to hide the fact that they were in Vietnam from their fellow countrymen; lest they become embroiled in arguments or physical confrontations. They couldn't hide that fact upon filling out Job Applications however; and many a veteran was unable to get a job; as employers discriminated against Viet Vets, until the federal government passed the "Non-discrimination law protecting Vietnam Era Veterans" in the early 1970's.
