Liono4ka [1.6K]
My grandfather was in the Vietnam War with a special operations unit and always found that the people back in America hated him. It didn't matter to him because he was doing what he thought was right. He lost some of his best buddies in the war and was called such bad names that I could never type or say. The Vietnam War was the first time that the troops didn't have American support and to many it would have hurt them. It hurt that our morale was low and it probably helped other countries with their morale because America didn't like their military anymore.
