What are bad names that people called Vietnam veterans?

Answer 1

Stereotyping of Vietnam Veterans have continued to the present time. It is in part a result of 'revolutionaries' who actually were trained by communists to incite rioting in the US and hatred of the US Military, such as Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, and the Weathermen, who actually blew up Federal buildings, planned (failed )bombings on US military, and killed police. In the universities they were wildly successful, mostly because the male students did not want to be drafted into the war.

Stereotypes which still persist are:

malingerers, bottom of the barrel types who could not find a job, psychopaths, drug addicts, incompetents, and a personal favorite 'the dirty little killer kids' from a renowned so called 'professional journalist'. Note that Walter Cronkite led the liberal media in denouncing our defense of S. Vietnam....unfortunately, Walter never even earned a college degree....... TV has seen the demise of liberal media dominance in the US with a wider range of politically advocating journalist shows....but there will never be another Walter Cronkite determining for the people what they are to think......
