Why did returning World War 1 and World War 2 soldiers get parades but the Vietnam war veterans did not?

Reasons for No ParadesThere were parades, but the media chose not to cover them. I disagree with the above statement and would like to see some confirmation of the answer. As a Vietnam veteran I think there were three reasons why we did not get parades (not that we wanted them-but that is another subject for another day) 1. the war was not popular back home and the warriors were not seen as noble warriors who deserved the nation's thanks. (there is a lot of information out there on this issue) 2. The war was long and was not seen as a victory in the end. In WW 2 there was a sense of victory after VE and VJ day. and 3. Vietnam Veterans came home individually, not really as whole units. Thousands and thousands of us simply got off the plane at Travis Airport and melted into the crowd and flew home alone to our own towns. Doesn't really lend itself to any parades that way.AnotherWW1 and WW2 were different kinds of wars. Ground was captured until the enemy surrendered, and Allied soldiers were in it until they died or the war ended. And if they survived, they got to march in a parade. The soldiers (mostly American) who fought in Vietnam after the French withdrawal were fighting a defensive counter-insurgency. They fought for one year, or two or three if they volunteered, before being rotated back. There was no national parade, but individuals and units were welcomed back locally with parades or parties. It is left to the individual to decide which soldiers got the better deal.
