Boy, there sure is a big difference between returning Afghan or Iraq vets and the Nam vets when they returned. No parades or free makeovers or even a "thank you for your service". At least the returning vets now are treated fairly. Things are certainly better for them now, thanks to the sacrifices of the draft-era servicemen. God bless them all.
