Hosts from Northwest Vets for Peace speak with Jerry Lembcke, Vietnam vet, college professor, and author
of "The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory, and the Legacy of Vietnam." Lembcke debunks the image of antiwar protesters spitting on returning Vietnam veterans. He says the image was created by the Nixon-Agnew administration and an unwitting press to attribute America's loss in Vietnam to internal dissension.
