Books like Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of Its Heroes and Its History

This book is well worth the long time it takes to read. The research details how media hype created the false stereotype of Vietnam veterans as troubled, drug addicted lost souls, while statistics actually show that the vast majority of Vietnam veterans honorably served our country and continue to be productive members of society. The authors shine the spotlight on and call out those who either tarnish the reputation of Vietnam veterans or try to profit by falsely claiming to have served.The book cites the beginnings of the realization of PTSD and could use an updated follow-up on that topic.Everyone should read this book. We bought a second copy to loan out.
