"The Spitting Image" is a book that tackles the American propaganda myth that Viet Nam veterans were spit on when they arrived at San Francisco airport. How is such propaganda propagated? Sly Stallone's Rambo character claimed he was spit on in a Rambo movie. According to the meticulous research of sociologist Jerry Lembcke, the myth of returning soldiers being spit on is totally false, as all myths are. To understand the thoroughness of sociologist Lembcke's research, please read his book, "The Spitting Image."

  • Your an ASS & LIAR! We were spit on you scum bag!

  • One of the most important books I've ever read. I always thought it odd that you never heard about returning soldiers being spit on until the 80s, after a few movies with Vietnam themes came out. The oddest thing is that many Vietnam vets started claiming that it did happen to them.
