Kerry made the speech on 10 Jan 72. The North Vietnamese attacked in force during Easter of 72. The South Vietnamese were never given all the supplies they were promised. In fact we never even replentish all the ammunition they fired up in the 1972 Easter Offensive. I talked to one Vietnamese Captain I knew who was trying to hold a bridge just north of Saigon in 1975. He only had about 30 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition for his entire company, not per man but for the entire company. We totally sold the Vietnamese out. We had promised them air support if they were attacked again. It never came.

Alright. Then you explain to me what possible reason Kerry could have had for not wanting our POWS returned? The only explanation I can come up with is the one I posted, which, by the way, jibes with Kerry's strident opposition to the support America was giving to South Vietnam.
