Rick Perlstein
I was there the same time Hanoi Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 as a GMG 3
I served on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which supplied PCF's and PBR's
and gave gunfire support in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied Hanoi Kerry's boat.
I VOW to the 58,229 + names on The Wall who never came home
"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected."
Bump. What I would like to know from Mr. Perlstein, is at what point do the actions of Americans - regardless of political stature or media credentials - rise to the level of treason? Are the statements by Hollywood leftists, Michael Moore (and dims in general) of support for Sadaam and bin Laden and against our troops and the current war treasonous? How would folding tents and caving to terrorists prevent future attacks?
As an aside, I found it ludicrous that Hollyweird rescheduled it's award show immediately after 9/11 due to fears that they would be attacked. Yet Hollyweird is the one true friend of the Taliban and Sadaam Hussein - they have nothing to fear.
