[quote="Dr. Deleto":8c432]Why is it that WW2 vets are thought of as heroes and Vietnam vets are not?[/quote:8c432]

I don't think that's entirely true.....But I think it has to do with the fact that the reason the U.S (and all other Allied nations) fought in WW2 is set in stone......Whereas the reason soldiers fought for their country in Vietnam is a bit more clouded and wishy washy.

IMO - WW2 was the only major war fought where the allies were totally innocent in getting involved.....The only war off the top of my head, of course.
