I was returning to VN, and ill-advisedly went downtown in uniform (Oakland, Ca), I was subsequently jumped by three very nasty individuals. I figured I could handle all their insults, and did, right up til one of them spat on my uniform; that uniform represented every person who has ever served this great nation! I looked down at the spittle running down my TW's, and that was all it took...I put him down, then put the next one down, the third one, who happened to be female jumped on my back attempting to scratch my eyes out, so I flipped her off my back, and she too landed on the sidewalk. At that point I realized I needed to put some distance between me and the three bleeding pieces of crap, who lay there squealing on the sidewalk!

Guess I am rambling, and I did not answer your question, but that scenario was not all that uncommon for that era!
