Kerry Discussion: Thoughts of a Vietnam POW

Kerry flushed his honor when he trounced his medals. IT angers me to think that what so many men gave up so much to earn he would just denegrate without a thought. God bless the TRUE and often forgotten heroes of Vietnam -- the ones with AND WITHOUT medals.

I agree with Crecca. Semper Fi, Kelly

Sounds just like the Code Pinko ladies and the CANSWER crowd.

There is a BIG difference between being 'anti war' and being 'anti veteran'

The left, Hollywood, academia and Kerry not only cross that line ...over and over again....but have run many joint psy ops operations with America's enemies... Kerry has never admited his mistakes confessed his behavior and or values as being wrong ...or repented of his many anti Veteran deeds...

He is not an American anymore imo....and shouldnt be allowed to have access to sensitive info let alone serve in govt in any capacity where he isnt watched 24/7

If political machines had sediment bowls...Kerry is what they would call the stuff collected in them
imo

Today's media and left would have us believe Kerry took the "correct" course with Vietnam.

When that war was the central issue of politics, Nixon creamed McGovern.

IOW Kerry reflected a minority view. Actually he is usually on both sides of issues.

Go fight the war; come back and criticize the war.

I am in full agreement with Joe Crecca. To think that Kerry is now trying to capitalize on a period in his life that he has been silent on or even rejected, is repulsive. I think about what he said (to paraphrase) about throwing medals over the White House fence in '71: "they were someone else's medals." Why throw someone else's medals? He was against the war so much that he didn't even have the character to throw his OWN medals - he was awarded the Silver Star, something sounds amiss!

To think that Kerry is now trying to capitalize on a period in his life that he has been silent on or even rejected, is repulsive.

Agreed, but within the current scope of national politics which other part of his life can he capitalize on:

A) His anti-military voting record?

B) His American-soldiers-are-baby-killers-and-rapists protest leadership?

C) His lack of any serious legislative accomplishments after 17 years as a senior Senator?

D) His highly successful thirty year career as a gigolo?

Could be his service in the Vietnam war was the only decent thing he ever did...but then again by his more recent standards that makes him a baby killer.

PIC OF KERRY BEING ARRESTED

Doesn't it strike you that there are *two* things wrong with the individuals face who is being identified as Kerry in that that picture:

• the nose (NOT nearly big enough)
• the hair (COMBED straight down into bangs - Kerry's is always combed OVER, EVEN back then. If it were to go straight down, it would cover half his face).

In closing, I think that is a poor Photoshop job or a misidentification of Kerry ...

[usmc1950]

you're right, that's probably the only decent thing he has done. The more that I see these "veterans" support him, I question how many of them really are vets. There has been a cottage industry of "vets" speaking out and making curious statements that there supposed to be "expert" in.
I still don't understand how this guy that he "saved" popped up all of a sudden after >30 yrs - where was he in the interim? He's running for President and now he finds him! No character!
