Mr. Clarke adds to the mythology of Vietnam by characterizing those at home as 'spitters' and anti-military. He also goes into detail about how he was called a 'baby killer' when he returned home. As a Vietnam Veteran as well as a professor who teaches the Vietnam War; I must point out that Mr. Clarke's homecoming reception was an exception rather than the rule. I thank him for his service but regret that the mythology created by his book gives the reader a false impression. I suggest Mr. Clarke read Bruce Franklin's "Vietnam and other American Fantasies."
