My parents who support the President and the war worry that we'll treat the veterans of this war with the same contempt as we did the veterans of the Vietnam War when they see the images in the media or the voices of the most entrenched anti-war folks. They don't run in circles with many who don't support the war, so their fear is somewhat understandable. I don't support the war, but like you, I don't appreciate the ferocity of some of the anti-war folks and I know several others who think similarly. I don't have the same worries as my parents because I know people who can critique the war and the leadership and still receive new information.
