BTW, Bangert claims to have some disability from Vietnam which has kept him from working.

Oddly enough, it has never kept him from protesting against the Vietnam war, camping out on the Mall, occupying Betsy Ross's house and wanting to demolish it.)

This disability never kept Bangert from working for Kerry's campaigns or jetting back and forth to Vietnam--where he spends much of his time.

It never stopped him from performing onstage, such as with Pete Seeger last year--where he once again sang the Viet Cong National Anthem and the hymn to Ho Chi Minh.

But one of Bangert's favorite axes to grind is that the Veterans don't get enough benefits. I think he is really talking about himself.

He went to Vietnam and now the world owes him a living for the rest of his life, apparently.

Thank you for this post. I wondered about that "Band of Brothers" and Kerry has let people think they are the crewmen from his boat. Other than the man whose life he saved who showed up so opportunely in Iowa, I wonder where the rest of them are.
