Urband legend brought to you by your friendly neighborhood republican chickenhawks. Seems Nixon and Agnew were loosing support for their war efforts so they played the "patriotism card". Sound familiar?

Ironically, the first cases of spitting on vets were by pro-war supporters who spat on veterans that had joined the anti-war movement. WWII veterans that joined the movement were even labled as traitors and cowards. GOP ain't changed much, eh?
