There is a possible lesson in the rude treatment endured by some returning vets from Vietnam. Not every mission our president sends soldiers to perform will be unfailingly moral and glorious just because the red, white, and blue is waved at regular intervals. Wholesale deployment of deadly force, widespread killing, the poisoning of land, etc. are modes of behavior fraught with peril.

There are no guarantees in life. One must be one's own navigator.
As I remember it, the press seemed to enjoy reporting on the spitting incidents. As a result of the coverage, the incidents increased in severity and number.
