For the Freeper record on this thread, Fox has been showing viewer e-mails this afternoon, signed by veterans, and very hostile to Kerry's candidacy.

What a surprise. For the record, I went to a Quaker college. I think I'm the only Viet Vet graduate. Or pretty nearly. I had lots of friends in this era who were genuine religion-based pacifists. Kerry isn't one of them. I was in the very heart of the anti-war movement and never got excited about it. Except for the people who had been raised as pacifists from childhood, they all seemed phony to me.

I might add thatQuaker pacifism does not allow you to sit around and yell at people you disagree with. You are obliged to help reconcile warring sides. There's nothing about this real work that resembles what Kerry and Fonda did.
