Perhaps this is too obvious, but Google suggests the whole PPOR issue with Vietnam vet spitting has come up a bunch of times:

[Link: www.slate.com…]

[Link: www.broowaha.com…]

Don’t necessarily vouch for any of these myself, but it does seem the anti-war left has been trying to defeat the spitting “meme” for a long time now. I also note that, obviously, even if nobody who was actually in Vietnam and spit upon happens to respond to a thread on a particular board, it doesn’t mean nothing happened. If the same question is asked 50 years from now when everyone who personally could have experienced it is dead, the tree could still have fallen in the forest.

One wonders - will holocaust deniers soon insist on living first person accounts?
