Gen. Giap, in a series of postbellum interviews, confessed that the North Vietnamese were ready to cease aggression under the weight of the 1972 and 1973 bombing campaigns. He then directly associated the reprieve with the welcome efforts of the radical antiwar movement. Indeed he told French television that his most important guerrilla ally during the war was the American press. The Vietnam News Agency as early as 1966 wrote "We praise the American peace champions. The movement of the American people to protest the war of aggression has really become the second front against the U.S. imperialists." Another communist official, Bui Tinh, claimed that Fonda's Hanoi visits, press releases and much publicized photo-ops in enemy batteries had helped the communists "to hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
Now of course Kerry isn't mentioned by name, but he for sure was part of the "radical antiwar movement" and could be counted among those our enemies in Vietnam saw as the "American peace champions".......
Former American POWs have stated that Kerry's 1971 Senate Foreign Relations Committee testimony got used by their captors to break the Americans' will.
No need to hand the VVAW a victory by reposting an urban legend, with live ammunition at hand.
