Nice article. Thanks for posting.

Ho Chi Minh said that he won the Vietnam war not in the jungles of Vietnam but on the streets of America where protesters fought the war for him. Vietnam veterans outraged at Kerry's antiwar hijinks would agree with Ho. Kerry's wild testimony before Congress in 1971 comparing American soldiers to barbaric Mongols under Genghis Khan endangered them.

Good. Vets should be outraged! They need to speak up! Loudly!

"If the Republicans formed a group called Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry"

There is already a group like that:

Tour of Duty: John Kerry in Vietnam (very long)
The Atlantic Monthly ^ | December 2003 | Douglas Brinkley


Senator John F. Kerry often cites his service in Vietnam as a formative element of his character. A new account of his time there—based on interviews with those who knew him well, and on his never-before-published letters home and his voluminous "war notes"—offers the first intimate look at a traumatic and life-altering experience.


"He had been considering Germany's occupation of France during World War II, he added, when "a thought came to me that I didn't like—I felt more like the German than the doughboy who came over to make the world safe for democracy and who rightfully had a star in his eye."

""The Globe reporter saw significance in Kerry's cryptic comment to the New Yorker, "I just won't talk about all of it. I don't and can't. The things that really turned me I've never told anybody. Nobody would understand…These things are very personal. It was our youth." ""

Yea, and if we had real investigative journalists they would be asking Hanoi Jane F'ing Kerry what happened and wouldn't let go til they had an answer.

"Investigating journalists" only investigate conservatives.

Blessings, bobo

Kommie Kerry cannot be trusted with America's security.

Freepers: Do everything you can to destroy his candidacy.

And stop f*cking around with your support of Bush.

You are being reckless with the lives of you, your loved ones, and your fellow Americans.

I thought of a good campaign commercial for Hanoi Kerry.
One could take the old teasers for Apocalypse Now --and
mix in a few scenes of the anti-war protests in America--
but the part where the American war hero is given his mission to "go after" the rogue Special Forces guy--
Kerrys campaign face would appear as the cantidate who
wants to lead us to Apocalypse Now.Kerry's mug backed by
exploding Napalm--and horrific scenes that war hero must
appreciate.
