Hi Marjoriemoon,

I would not be surprised if it happened, all groups have nutters.
I’m surprised by how often it comes up when talking about Vietnam, yet I can not find any stories from the time when it is alleged it happened.

I understand that today, most people knew a person who had a photo of someone who saw Lochy, what I would like is any archival stories from the era of Vets from any credible media of the day.

Hi ozbloke :)

I’m not talking about my mother’s cousin’s brother… Look here. It’s just a blog I found, but there’s others.

The thing is, the war was so incredibly unpopular and everything was anti-war. The music, drug, love, love love, the whole hippie thing, the soldiers were often seen as monsters by the public and I guess the government for as much as they helped them.

The VA Hospital, btw, in Miami is awesome and has some of the finest doctors in the nation.
