FREE REPUBLIC NETWORK LAUNCHES WEB SITE ON "WINTER SOLDIER INVESTIGATION" AND KERRY SLANDER OF U.S. TROOPS IN VIETNAM

(Washington, DC) The Free Republic Network today announced the unveiling of www.WinterSoldier.com, a new web site to provide news, analysis and research material regarding the false claim by John Kerry and others during the Vietnam era that atrocities were routinely committed by America's military.

In 1971 former Navy Lt. John Kerry testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations about American "war crimes" in Southeast Asia, which he described as "not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command". Free Republic Network Director Scott Swett released the following statement:

"John Kerry played a key role in the leftist disinformation campaign that undermined support for the war by slandering a generation of American soldiers as mass murderers of civilians. Kerry testified before the Senate that the United States committed war crimes in Vietnam as a matter of military policy, citing claims of atrocities made at the discredited 'Winter Soldier Investigation' -- an event primarily funded by Jane Fonda."

"The truth is that atrocities were the exception in Vietnam, not the rule."

"Since Senator Kerry has made the strength of his military record a key issue in his pursuit of the Presidency, it is important for voters to have access to a more complete picture of his actions than is available from the Kerry campaign or the media. WinterSoldier.com will document and analyze the activities in which Kerry and others participated during the Vietnam era."

The site features a section on Kerry's hard-to-find 1971 book "The New Soldier" and covers the activities of the group Vietnam Veterans Against the War and its sponsors. New information will be added as it becomes available. Readers are invited to provide feedback, submit editorial pieces, and provide relevant material. The site will go live on Monday, February 23, 2004.

The Free Republic Network www.FreeRepublic.net is a 501(c)(4) public service corporation whose mission is to organize, train and support conservative activists nationwide. It provides information and organizational services to more than 50 regional and issue-based chapters around the country, and serves as the activism arm of the Free Republic Forum www.FreeRepublic.com.

Great idea!

One is reminded, reference John Effing Kerry, that those who live in glass houses should not throw rocks.

Hope this web site contributes to Kerry's downfall in a huge way.

Expose a traitor PING

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Bookmarked, I will use this to counter a disturbing trend at work of resurging dims. I live in a county in GA where the dims meet in phone booths.(Our courthouse is on Ronald Regan Way) But I have friends from work, that I have known for 20 yrs, that are planning to vote dim this year.

I think when President Bush starts campaigning full speed he will be able to turn this trend around

"during the Vietnam era that atrocities were routinely committed by America's military."

Am I missing something? Are the stories I heard 25 to 30 years ago from neighbors, co workers and other Veterans who where there bogus?

I think the word "routinely" is the crux of your investigation. "infrequent" or "occasional" would be more descriptive from what I've been told.

And who in the hell is going to admit doing something of that sort 30 years later? These guys are just trying to get on with their lives and forget what happened.

This will be rubbing salt into unhealed wounds from long ago in the name of politics.

"Am I missing something? Are the stories I heard 25 to 30 years ago from neighbors, co workers and other Veterans who where there bogus?"

Someone posted an interesting observation yesterday--there are hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese who have migrated to the U.S. since the '70's... why are there no stories of atrocities from them?

Indeed, according to that Freeper, the Vietnamese newspapers are apparently calling Kerry a traitor! Unfortunately, I don't have a source for that, but if it's true, it's very telling.
