Treatment of Vietnam Veterans When Mahoney flew into a California airport with other veterans, they had to be escorted by police officers who kept the anti-war protesters away from the soldiers. "We were walking down a line, protected by the cops, but they were still spitting on us, calling us baby-killers," Mahoney said. "We were treated like we had done something wrong. The treatment at home, I think, did more damage than the war did." Veterans who returned home had many stories like the one above. PTSD was common amongst the soldiers. Why do you think the citizens treated veterans this way?

Vietnam Veterans: Then and Now Just a heartwarming video!

Discuss: How are veterans treated? How are veterans from the vietnam war treated? Why were they treated that way? What does the video do to try and make up for the terrible treatment? Should we show gratitude towards our soldiers? Why or why not? If so, what are some ways you could show gratitude?
