Being sent away as their countries heroes, That war is 'noble, be given the blame when they return because the real culprit cannot be brought to trial while cowering behind security laws. They didn't start it. Just like Vietnam, but hotter, drier, and longer.Talking about respect for the troops is a political stunt, for which there is absolutely no evidence apart from lip service,while the real support comes from other veterans, or charitable organizations. Business isn't charitable.
Families? The person they sent away, never comes back,
"There we're no V'day heroes in 1973"
A line from the song Khe Sanh by Jimmy Barnes from Cold Chisel an Australian Band. The song says in a line:
If I'm not welcome here, I'll go and live somewhere else, preferably overseas.
There isn't often that option.
