Vietnam vets fume when Kerry is topic Mike Thomas

I have come to the National Vietnam War Museum in search of John Kerry's brothers in arms.
Located in east Orange County on North Tanner Road, a torn-up dirt strip awaiting pavement, the museum doesn't quite live up to the title.
It is a squat building, formerly a small water-treatment facility, surrounded by a barbed-wire-topped fence. There is a Huey helicopter on the grounds, as well as an A-4 Skyhawk jet and a patrol boat similar to the one John Kerry commanded.
The star exhibit is the remnant of a Vietnam memorial fountain containing the names of 167 dead soldiers from Orange County. It once stood at the Orange County Convention Center but was tossed to make room for a food-court expansion.

During the Gulf war, we overheard two reporters at lunch, their conversation went like this: So and so in Riyadh said that he heard from so and so in Jeddah that we might attack on this date or maybe that date. What do you hear from Bahrain........, well Riyadh said that a member of the Generals staff told so and so....! I am not joking, we were laughing because we knew everything they said was wrong! That night it was no-longer funny, CNN reported that very conversation as sources close to the General said. Even less funny was when I had to call home to tell my poor mother glued to the TV, to ignore a CNN report, we were not attacked. Thank God we had phones, imagine Korea and Viet Nam, when you had to wait for telegrams. Reporters are lower than ambulance chasers.

As our wonderful president said..."Bring it on" I will gladly debate any scummy liberal about the vietnam era.FIrst I would so gladly point out that we won every major combat operation during the war and the only reason it was a loosing venture for us was the protesters and the communist funded college professors. Bring it on you liberal scum.. And lets mention the 3000000+ vietnamese laotians and cambodians that the liberals left to die after the collapse of South Vietnam! Good job Liberals OH but it was in conjunction with their lovely utopian ideology.. All i can say is there is a special place in hell for the liberals...
