It is not quite as bad as Vietnam, different time and mindset. Everyone thought the Vietnam Vets were all baby killers. Anyway, it is not as bad but there is not enough in my view. Any that are returning home should be top news, not what the NFL is doing. There is no fanfare at all. As far as treatment for our troops. The US Gov't still does not pay them enough. The military families at Fort Meade MD are below the standard for lower income families. They are in their own group of lower income families. It is triffling.
