Semper fi!
I wish he would take his Broads advice and "shove it!"
This is Kerry's unforgivable sin to all of us Vietnam Veterans. May he rot in Hell for this.
BTTT
Thank you for your service to your country.
As my husband and I watched Kerry speak at the convention (with lots of grit), Kerry lauded his 'welcome home.' Then my husband had to leave the room and parted with "Yeah, and you and the buddies you hung out with gave me MY welcome home." It breaks my heart to realize the unforgivable treatment US soldiers suffered not only then, but now. I am a firm believer that a soldier's action to fight for his/her country -- whether in Iraq, Vietnam, or any other 'conflict' -- is no less heroic than those great soldiers in WW2. The day-to-day in Vietnam did not have a great plan, but the bigger picture of you fighting for others to know liberty and justice are most noble.
Former POW Senator McCain complained in 1973 that Kerrys testimony was the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us. Senator McCain, a nice guy, has lately forgiven Kerry.
It is beyond me how McCain can forgive him for that.
Please also accept my admiration and thanks for your service to the nation. God bless you!
I salute those who served. My class was the last one drafted and I missed service by a matter of months. I am glad to see more Viet Nam vets speaking up before it is too late. The guy is the biggest fraud I have ever seen. He wouldn't know how to defend this country if he really needed too. I keep asking..."What has he done in the Senate to warrant a promtion?" How could this man get three purple hearts in 4 months when it sounds as if they were scratches or "self promoted" wounds.
Welcome to FR. Thank you for your service to our country!
Vietnam Vets v. Hanoi John ping...
John Kerry speaks for Ho Chi Minh.
Great article. The several months you refer is actually 4 months an 12 days. I was serving in Nam while Kerry was committing his treasonous acts and spewing his stories about atrocities. When returning to my hometown in upstate NY, I was labeled a baby killer by many. I didn't know JF'n by name, but knew of his close friend and associate Hanoi Jane. That was a very perplexing time for the Viet vets, but after learning the true role that Kerry and Hanoi Jane played, it's hard to "forgive and forget" with these folks. I find it difficult to understand how McCain was able to do it.
I was trying to think of an expletive for John SKerry and couldn't come up with one vile enough. Traitor, murderer, commie, gigolo, leech...?
" One of the callers was a Vietnam veteran who had been a river boat commander at about the same time as John Kerry, John ONeill, who was to soon leave the Navy and who had been denied an opportunity by Senator Fulbright to rebut Kerry."
Fulbright must have had a lot of power to hold a Senate committee hearing so that we could listen to a wet-behind-the-ears O-3 with four months in-country tell lies about the conduct of the war. Watching Kerry in his unkept utility uniform, improperly displaying ribbons, with non-regulation haircut testify in front of the senior legislative body of the United States made the Senators in attendence look like clowns. That was a sad day in our history and brought discredit on the thousands of military personnel that served their country honorably. I will not forget.
