Read Jerry Lembcke, Spitting Image: Myth, Memory, and the Legacy of
Vietnam. There probably was never even one single instance of an
anti-war person spitting on a vet. It's an urban legend which began in
Germany in the 1920s.
We've taken up this thread two or three times before. The issue was
pretty decisively decided long ago.
