"I would li,ke to know about the group of Vietnam Vets who are supporting Kerry ...How many really knew him ? what is their motivation?"
Clearly, you have never been in the Military. Everyone does bitch while in, but everyone also values the fact that they did serve and the friends they served with. Kerry has brought a shameful amount of scorn and potential dishonor on his unit and his fellow squids - I served in VN and am also offended by this lout's words!

Exactly my thoughts. In the passage below Kerry denigrates the two enlisted men with him on his first "mission".
---It seemed stupid. My gunner didn’t know where the people were when he first started firing. The M-16 bullets had kicked up the sand way to the right of them as he sprayed the beach, slowly walking the line of fire over to where the men had been leaping for cover. I had been shouting directions and trying to unjam my gun. The third crewman was locked in a personal struggle with the engine, trying to start it. I just shook my head and said, ‘Jesus Christ.’ It made me wonder if a year of training was worth anything.”---
