Outstanding letter! Thank you Don Bendell, Captain, USA, retired

I think we should print this out and hand it out on the street corners. I wish we could get more coverage telling the world about the real Kerry!

[NotchJohnson]

Yes, 100% true. Kerry has been gunning and positioning himself for the presidency since at least high school. The issue is not, never was about the truth but it was political, even then. Of course he stepped on some toes, namely members of the military who he called murderers.

...[Y]ou also were the primary reason that the American public grabbed sturdy unbending brooms of judgment and swept us into the closet of silence and shame for so many years.

John Kerry dumped all over his "band of brothers" 30 years ago and now the SOB is running for President. This man's message needs to get out. Don't count on Tim Russert, Dan Rather, Petah Jennings, or any of that bunch!

kerry Says He Will Repair Damage If He Wins Election

WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

We are convinced that John kerry is the candidate best qualified to meet this challenge. Senator kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in field of international affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and central to this campaign kerry has the experience and the understanding necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread, extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man and woman on the street as well.

We believe John kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also remain convinced that John kerry has the best chance of beating the incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to a safer, more secure, and more stable world.

All these foreign leaders [Kim Jong Il, Al Qaeda, Chirac] are telling Monsieur LeKerry, "You gotta get that guy outta there!" The energy is fantastic!

Catch this ad by a Freeper that shows how anti-US-soldier Kerry was in 1971:

The John Kerry Ad Republicans wish they could run

Type in DON BENDELL and that will take you to his website. Go to his "Guestbook" and read the comments he gets from veterans and citizens alike. Great reading.

Good Lord! I just sent this around. Thanks!

If Kerry bacame Pres., you would see terrorism blossom all over.

Oh, I agree with you and so many other VN vets, I remember bringing home fellows and having the ilk of kerry and his followers shout obseneties and spit on them. I'm a "war" ahead of you, and I remember bringing my cousin home with half of his shin bones gone, I was 19. I remember the hurt of those fellows I had on my airplane. When I watched kerry during his days of active participation with the Viet Cong, I detested the fellow then. After watching him in the years following and reading more than I knew, I detest him even more. I just hope the Republican Party and the "elected Republicans" can put the American people right with the kind of fellow the democrats have put out there to represent their party. He is a shameful piece of American society, I just hope and pray he is completely discredited for his playing the roll of being a VietName Hero. My brother was a helicoptor crew chief, and has told me some of the stuff that went on in their field and it is nothing like the tales kerry told. I would also like to see the military records and medical records of herr kerry.
