What was the reaction the Vietnam veterans received upon returning home different from the reaction received by veterans from other wars?
It was wise NOT to discuss where you've been. It only brought dirty looks, scornful faces, or gleefullness from their faces if you were missing an arm or leg or eye. If a viet vet was an amputee or showing other signs of wounds, someone might be "smiling" at him from a distance (out of fist fight range), with that "serves you right!" Look. In 1974(?) the federal government passed a NON-discrimination law specifically protecting Vietnam Veterans from discrimination. Also because they lost the war, Australian soldiers were seen as low, useless and pathetic to the Asutralian public.
