14. Of COURSE they do!
It's a great tool to beat up any war skeptics. My partner, Will, is a veteran of the last Gulf War. During the run-up to the war, we were both very opposed to the whole thing, and people used to routinely say to him, "Well, just don't spit on the returning veterans like you guys did during Vietnam," Will would point out that 1) he was four when Vietnam ended and 2) Having been a returning veteran why would he spit on them? Usually the idiot would be reduced to some stupid non sequitor like "Well, thanks for your service," and in one instance, someone asked him how he could be opposed to THIS war since he fought in the last one. ???
