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.
