I agree with you. I actually joined this club since I served in the Navy during that era. Having read their newsletter from the national organization, there is some contention between combat and era vets. It got so bad the powers to be announced they would not publish any more letters addressing this issue.

The combat vets serving in country not only experienced the atrocities of war but were treated like scum by the whole world. They were "baby killers." I experienced that same public disdain. In Norfolk, Va. there were signs reading "Sailors and dogs keep off grass."

I have yet to find a place where I really fit in. I served 68-72.
