During his war protest days in the early 1970s, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry once denounced the United States of America as "the real criminal" in the Vietnam War.
In comments first reported by the New York Times 33 years ago, Kerry condemned the entire country as "criminal" during a 1971 demonstration on Wall Street, a few weeks after the trial of Lt. William Calley.
"Guilty as Lieutenant Calley may have been of the actual act of murder, the verdict does not single out the real criminal ... the United States of America," railed the future Democratic presidential hopeful. We need to make sure that this gets in front of every VFW, DAV, AUSA, USAA, USAMA, American Legion, NCOA, Navy League, AFA, AOC, etc. meeting and to every member.
Then I think Kerry will be lucky to get his own vote come November.
