Insult stung a young Vietnam veteran
In 1972, I returned from my tour in Vietnam. I was in Lubbock and stopped in at the local VFW for a beer. They sold me one.
The three men in the bar gathered around for questions. In short order, they informed of the VFW’s opinion of me: “ Your generation is the first to lose a war.”
Forty years later, it still hurts.
