Is it really possible that Kerry's speech escaped the tape recorder??

Kerry's nomination for the presidency could be a godsend if its functions as an occasion for younger generations who didn't live through Vietnam--and I was stunned when I realized, many years ago, that youngsters thought of Vietnam like I thought of WWI, as ancient history--to learn what the Democratic Party actually did back then.

The huge commitment of men, the heavy casualties, all with no plan for victory. And the turning against their own creation, and blaming the Republicans for being unwilling to dishonor the memory of the fallen by cutting and running.

I am sure that parts of it were televised. It was such a big deal, the Democrats used it to demonize Nixon, the returning military for the next ten years.
