"In the 1960's an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn't take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam.

Conseratvies create bogus myths so they will not have to deal with issues where they are in the wrong... Soldiers returned from Vietnam to US Air bases...like Travis AFB in California...according to RIght Wing mythology...they were greeted by sandal wearing hippies who spat on them. Since when where peace loving hippes allowed on air force bases to greet the troops?
Soldiers were never returned to the base, they were always transported to a local plane to take them to a San Fransisco airport. Spitting has happened to many soldiers, here in Canada and the states its an actual fact. Spitting gotten so bad that soldiers would remove their uniform and back into Civilian clothes and which in question hippies found out what they were doing and spat on everyone they could. Everyone needs to go and look at the facts for themselves, too understand the best.
You clearly did not watch the documentary. This is an URBAN LEGEND exposed (with strong evidence) in the film. In fact, soldiers came back to military bases where it was impossible for protesters to get close enough to spit. Every protest I was in included vets and civilians who had the utmost respect for soldiers--our family and friends--and did not want to see their lives "used stupidly or carelessly or for unworthy ends" as Marine Tobias Wolff wrote in his Vietnam memoir "In Pharoah's Army."
