Now I think I know the reason - by having kerry's past brought out and smeared in his face, it is going to help all of you Vietnam Vets bring some closure to your years spent there, and the pathetic treatment once you got home.
At least I hope it helps you all.....
Personally I don't see this as a closure at all.
THE "win" will be President Bush being elected again.
I believe on Nov 3 (assuming no recounts etc) that America as a whole will once again forget Viet Nam Vets.
People will "move on" and the smear done by Kerry and Fonda will stay.
Viet Nam Vets will be attacked and blamed
for Kerry's defeat by the Left.
Other than the small minority, who have always supported Vets, we will be left to "deal with it" ourselves.
Me, my motto is BRING IT ON!
