Your headline “Vietnam Veteran Gives Up in 4 Slayings†(Dec. 11) entices me to write that I see no reason to state that a crime was committed by a Vietnam veteran. Often, when a headline as this is shown in the news, I as a Vietnam veteran, have been asked, “So Jim, when will you flip out and shoot up my enemies for me?â€

When will this type of headline that tends to stereotype Vietnam veterans as unstable and violent cease to exist?
