The Lines - The Lies! Longer & Longer

By VVAW

Recent figures show that Vietnam vets are among the most heavily affected by recent recession (which Reagan & Co have now declared war over).

In the age group between 25 and 29, in January of 1982, 13% of the Vietnam vet population were among those laid off; the percent in the non-vet population was 11%. In January of 1983, 13.7% of non vets were laid off; for Vietnam vets, the figure was a remarkable 21.8%.

We can only thank Reagan for having solved the problems of the economy once again--and once again giving Vietnam vets the chance to be in the front lines!
