No not all of them.......a lot of them when they came back from Vietnam were not welcomed home.....I know about this due to the fact that my husband was a Vietnam Vet...My husband when he came back had malaria on his 6'4" frame and didn't even weigh 100 pounds how did our fellow americans treat him....they spit upon him as he was being taken into the hospital at Fort Ord...just from that I would think it would cause a lot of the Vet's to feel like they had no home to go to....now the soldiers coming back from Iraq are suffering from brain trauma and our government is doing nothing to help them...They fought and should be taken care of...This is a travesty and it is only going to get worse......
