I'll listen if you say that, but while the attention may be embarrassing, consider the alternative. Some ungrateful *illegitimate children* did the alternative as good people came home from Viet Nam to empty airports or worse, to hurled insults. I wasn't old enough to be part of that, thank God, and I'm embarrassed that it was done at all, but I'll be da*ned if I'll let it happen again on my watch.
It wasn't just insults. A dear friend of mine from SW Indiana recalls coming home after his tour in Viet Nam. As he was coming off a bus, some idiot spit in the face and called him a baby killer. That event haunts him to this day.
I strongly agree with Bill...I will not let that happen on my watch, either.
