Green Beret Veteran Don Bendell on FOX today (veterans won't let Kerry get away with...)
FOX News Live | 30-Mar-2004 | easonc52

Don Bendell, a Green Beret Vet, was on FOX today. He basically stated that he doesn't have a problem with the service or the medals, but he feels betrayed by Kerry's activies after returning from Vietnam.

Hurley (sp?) came on later and supprted Kerry (go figure), but wasn't very convincing regarding the FOX guy saying that several of the people that were supposedly Vets, were proven to be fakes (regarding Kerry's testimony in Congress in front of national TV).

On March 9, 2004, big bad easter bunny posted Don's open letter to Kerry, and it only got 18 responses.

Since this guy appeared on FOX today, I was hoping we could somehow give him more support (maybe that's happening and I'm unaware of it).

He seemed very strong on the idea that Veterans are not going to let Kerry get away with his pretentions.

big bad easter bunny's post was (which contains the open letter to Kerry)

I distributed his letter to most of my email contacts and I know it got wide distribution as I received copies from three other sources. There are several vet groups that oppose Kerry.

Don Bendell, a Green Beret....

A Green Beret is a headgear. It is issued to Special Forces-qualified soldiers.

Mr. Bendell is a Special Forces-qualified soldier, also known as a Special Forces soldier, a Special Forces operator, or a Special Operations soldier/operator.

He is many things.

He is not a hat.

That is all.

:~)

Sir, my hubby is a vet (tour in Korea and 2 in Nam) and shares your opinion of Kerry. The website you linked is one of his favorites. His Jeep also has a bumper sticker, so they are out there! I'm not sure where he got it though.

I don't really qualify as a Viet Nam vet since I was discharged in Oct '62 but I sure relate to the anti-Kerry/Fonda traitors. I would be proud to put a bumper sticker on my car.
God Bless GWB.

For our RANGER buddies ....

We will put them in a 3-way tie for Third Place.

Main reason - all three have different missions and it's hard to compare.

...but we always kicked the 7th Spec Forces Grp Airborne butt in the annual "Operation Cabecca Fling" in Arizona (back in the 70's)
