It was always perfectly plain to me, for one, that RC was a Vietnam vet
who came back to society in one way and that Blood and Vato were vet's
who rejoined society in another. If one questions that RC is a Vietnam
vet why not question Blood and Vato's claim to that status? Don't some
men claim to have been in Vietnam, even occasionally some who never
served in the armed forces at all? Not that I think this is the case,
but it might look like a possibility if one wanted to stretch for it.
