An excerpt:
"Stolen Valor makes clear why, intentionally or not, events like "The
Sixties" (the 1999 TV "mini-series") slander all those who
served in Vietnam. The fact is that Vietnam veterans have fared as well
or better than any other generation of warriors, and it's about time that
the myths that have tainted America's view of Vietnam veterans are put
to rest. By unmasking the despicable phonies who have stolen the honor
of the legitimate Vietnam veterans and exposing the complicity of the press
in this theft, Mr. Burkett has done an immense service to his fellow veterans,
and by extension to his country."
