Research by Jerry Lembcke, associate professor of sociology at the College of the Holy Cross, was referenced in a Bloomberg.com article about the treatment of U.S. soldiers and how civilian reaction has shifted over time. In his book, The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory, and the Legacy of Vietnam, Lembcke disputes the much-debated claim that anti-war protesters spat on American soldiers returning home from Vietnam.
