Abstract
Mistrust is a frequent attitude noted in Vietnam veterans. Three major factors that contribute to this attitude are described. They are: the realities of the war, the many negative responses of society to these men, and the vulnerability of soldiers in their late adolescence to disappointment in idealized and trusted figures.Keywords
