It strikes me that being a patriot is an ongoing process. You can do many heroic deeds in the service of your country and still be a traitor in the end. Benedict Arnold was a very brave soldier and a gifted general. If he had been killed before he betrayed us he would have gone down in history as a great hero.

It appears that John Kerry also was a brave soldier, but I can't help thinking that his actions after leaving the service were disgraceful and they make me doubt his commitment to America.

Would Kerry had been against the war if a Rat was still in the White House instead of Nixon?

Well said.

In 1971 Kerry gave aid and comfort to the Communists by spreading their propaganda.

We were still at war with them--and when they won, they slaughtered more than died during the entire course of the war.

The allegations he helped disseminate were totally fabricated and slandered America.

To so betray one's own country calls into question where one's basic loyalties lie.

With Kerry, it would appear first with his own fame and fortune, and the country be damned.
