Wizbang: "We alienated and scarred a whole generation of those who served our nation, and in many ways we're still paying the price for that.



It's not talked about much, but it's probably the most significant social change brought out by that war.



I've noticed it a lot lately. It seems that nearly every highway overpass I see has a home-made 'WELCOME HOME' or a 'COME HOME SAFE' or 'WE'RE PROUD OF' or -- most sad of all -- 'IN MEMORY OF' banner for at least one service member, by name. Radio stations hold drives to get supplies and care packages for troops, and the biggest fashion accessory on cars these days are gold, red/white/blue, or camouflage ribbons.



Not everyone, it seems, has learned that lesson."
