After the 1970's WATERGATE, Sen. TED KENNEDY then pushed Congress to cut off ALL U.S. funding for the South Vietnam Military's fight for Freedom it was waging against invading Communist terrorists from the North. And then for ALL the Medical Aid the South needed to treat its resultant war casualties with.

Bringing for us all to sadly see in the End:

Kennedy over rode the Generals and our military with his cut off leaving one group, I don't remember the number, but one group consisting of an American officer, soldiers and Vietnamese fighting for their lives as they were surrounded by the enemy and could not get more ammo or help for American wounded - our men were simply 'written' off by Kennedy as I doubt he ever knew or cared about the havoc that followed his cruel, cowardly, and utterly senseless bill. The American leader, a Capt, of that little fighting group had his legs shot off and was bleeding to death while help was desperately being sought. The Capt. was awarded the Medal of Honor. Senator Kennedy is the face of the despicable ineptness and cowardliness now being shown again by Cut ‘in Runner John Edwards, the brilliant military expert (not) now running for POTUS.

Democrats will NOT defend the United States from terrorists OR keep our word to our allies.

Senators McGovern and Hatfield belonged to an IPS-linked lobby called Members of Congress for Peace Through Law (MCPL) which supported the antiwar protestors during Dewey Canyon III and the subsequent NPAC and PCPJ demonstrations. During the April 24 March Against the War, the VVAW was addressed by MCPL Senators McGovern, Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale, and Philip Hart, along with two MCPL Congressmen. Meanwhile eight MCPL Congressmen addressed a PCPJ group.195
Political support also came from other antiwar Congressmen and Senators.196 Most notably, Senator Hart and Senator Claiborne Pell, a critic of US policy towards Cuba as well as Vietnam,197 hosted a VVAW fundraiser which was attended by Senator J. William Fulbright. Fulbright, who sat with Pell on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and shared Pell’s views on Cuba and Vietnam, had led Senate opposition to the Vietnam War since 1966,198 and during the fundraiser he invited Kerry to speak to his committee about war crimes.
Other members of Fulbright’s committee who listened to Kerry sympathetically during his testimony were Stuart Symington, who had been Dean Acheson’s favored choice for Democratic Presidential candidate in 1960,199 and Frank Church, who would soon lead a Congressional attack on the US intelligence community which was supported by the VVAW, the National Lawyers Guild, the Institute for Policy Studies, and Cuban and Soviet agents.200 ...197On Pell, see “Pell, Claiborne”, Current Biography, Bronx, New York: The H.
