The point of course, is not to imply a connection between Senator Kerry and Joseph Remiro or the SLA. The point is that the VVAW was demonstrably capable, in the leftist, anti-war environment of the early 1970s, of attracting Vietnam Veterans and radicalizing them to such a degree that they would be willing to carry out political assassinations on American soil.

Thanks for the post - but - as a key leader in VVAW, Effing IS connected to these radical killers. He also failed to display his epic heroism by reporting the sedition he was privy to.

The VVAW were bad news. The socialists on the faculty of my high school thought it would be a good idea to have one of them come in to talk us out of registering for selective service back in '80.
I'll never forget that guy, he was the total caricature of the strung out Viet Vet. Fortunately, I knew several other veterans so I knew they weren't all like that...

Great digging! At the very least it shows the kind of people who were attracted to this organization.
And after all, we're talking about a very small group. At the most they had around 1,000 members. But most of the time it was more like just three or four hundred or so.

Good information!!!
I was living in the Bay Area at the time of Foster's assasination, and I remember it quite clearly. It's remarkable to see it again in such a context. But all these things seem to be tied together, sooner or later, and the knot that unites them is the radical left. Of which Kerry was clearly a member.

Clockwise from top: Nancy Ling Perry, Joseph Remiro,
Thero Wheeler, William Wolfe, Camilla Hall, William Harris,
Emily Harris, Patricia Soltysik, Angela Atwood,
Russell Little, and Donald DeFreeze
The Symbionese Liberation Army is Born
Through Venceremos, the VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War), and prisoner support programs, this diverse group of people slowly came together to form the Symbionese Liberation Army. In August of 1973 Donald DeFreeze and Patricia Soltysik began to draft documents and plans for the formal structure of the organization. They were joined and trained by Joseph Remiro, a Vietnam Veteran very active in the VVAW, but unhappy with its pacifist policies. The SLA began planning its first action: the assassination of Oakland School Superintendent Marcus Foster. Not liking the direction the SLA was taking, Thero Wheeler pulled out, as did Mary Alice Siem.
