[QUOTE="FromBluetoBrown, post: 286245, member: 11799"] It's funny you mention that about the Vietnam vets. I had just finished reading a book about why Vietnam vets were given such a bad image and stereotyped as crazy alcoholic murderers and psychos. As it turns out, this author did some research and complied a database of newspaper articles from all over the country writing about "Crazied Vietnam vet kills family" or "Green Beret-Vietnam vet claims PTSD made him attack wife". He did a FOI request and found most of the people claiming to be Vietnam War veterans (As well as most of the bums you see in the city wearing fatigues and patches) aren't really Vietnam vets at all and most never served in the military. He also researched VA hospitals and found that most guys going in there for treatment for PTSD claiming they "Saw and did horrible things while on special missions for black government agencies" or "Because I was a NAVY Seal and had to do all sorts of nasty missions for the CIA" had never served in Vietnam, the military or any sort of special forces. Very interesting read. [/QUOTE]
