I've read interesting comparisons between veteran experiences after WWII and the Vietnam War. In the case of the former, the nation was relatively united, and the draft was quite universal. The cohort effect was very strong, and integration back into society was relatively automatic. Also consider that the US forces did not get the worst of the war in global terms. Plus, the relationship between the occupying forces and civilians was totally different for WWII / Vietnam.
