I heard something once that something of the sort happened at Travis
AFB--or some airport in California.  An extreme, isolated incident at the
most--but a powerful symbol for those would believe it was so.

I don't believe it was so generally, or even significantly, and have good
grounds for saying so because I was both in the war, and against the war.
If we had been spitting at returned soldiers it would have been very
slippery doings as about half the people I worked with in protesting the
war were active duty military.
