Word Wars I and II were perceived by the public as wars with a rightful cause of US participation and the veterans were greeted as heroes. But the Vietnam War was controversial in its nature and a lot of public did not support it. This had a dramatic effect on veterans public image, who were not held in high regards as their predecessors have been.
