Although hippies were sometimes accused of verbally attacking soldiers and spitting on veterans returning home from duty in Vietnam, or participating in the torching of ROTC buildings on college campuses, with the exception of a small radical fringe element, hippies did not verbally assault military personnel and did not condone acts of political violence. ***With the release of FBI records under the Freedom of Information Act, it has become clear that many such attacks were actually perpetrated by FBI COINTELPRO agents provocateurs*** operating on J. Edgar Hoover's instructions to discredit those who opposed the Vietnam War. It was the USA Government who spit on returning troops.

Erudite, you are such a complete idiot.
A few days ago, you said that nobody ever spit on returning Vietnam Vets, and that it was all a lie.
Today you post a statement that people DID spit on returning vets.
Take your head out of rectal defilade.

It seems possible by your statement that the FBI was behind some of these protest were perpetuated or supported by the FBI covertly in order to flush out more radical anti government protestors, or as we say in this day and age, domestic terrorists. I am not saying all protesters were domestic terrorists, just the severely radical. What better way to flush them out then to get these attacks going in a location the FBI would know about before hand.

I was in Viet Nam. I returned home. I walked every day infront of the FBI Building on Penn. Ave going to work. Not once did the FBI spit on me.
However, a few of your rock dweller's, dope smoking friends did spit on me. Get a life.

Considering that there is a significant lack of photographic evidence of anyone spitting on returning soldiers, I would say that your sources are mistaken. Please provide the source of your statement, so that we may make a fair and accurate judgement.

Probably just another conspiracy theory. Though it would not surprise me at all. Lyndon may have wanted some of the pressure alleviated from himself. But there is no solid proof of this conspiracy, nor is there proof of others. This is why it is known as a conspiracy theory.

Why does this "news" excite you and give you pleasure? That is the real question.
Maybe you could give us some links to these "records". I am going to guess you have none.

Another blatant lie by the habitual liar named Erudite.
Check his questions history for the track record of his lies, and those of us catching him and giving the proof.
