It seems American troops have given and given and given. Kerry is sure that they can give a little more, for his own personal cause.

Thanks for the ping!

Reflecting back to 1973, USMC, Camp Lejeune, 2nd MarDiv and Force Troops, FMFLant stationed on base, had issued a base directive which recommended wearing civilian clothes while off duty or on leave outside of any non-military related town. IOW, wear your civies while on leave or face extreme harassement by the anti-s. Jacksonville & Fayettevill, N.C. as an example were OK for uniform wear 24/7. NYC, Baltimore, etc., were not. I'm sure a copy of that directive would be pretty explosive right about now if available.
Semper Fi
Over my dead body!
Back when the earth was still cool and I was 12, I read a book by Dr Tom Dooley, it was about Vietnam back in the days when France was involved there.
I thought then that the war against Communism was right and I still think it. During my teen years , I was strongly pro US and was an outcast in my high school.
The Vietnam Vets were screwed royally. Their contribution was honorable and valiant. The politicians screwed the war and the unwashed , smelly cowardly liberals screwed them again.
It is time for the Vietnam vets to pay back the left and throw one of their icons , and a political charlitan on the trash heap of history.
Well put!
It makes sense to me. I got out one day before the cease fire in '73. It took many months to get a job. At the time I didn't realize or didn't admit that it seemed like most of the employers had some problem with me. I now realize that if some of them had dared, they would have had a question that said "Did you kill anybody? If yes, what were their ages?" (I didn't see combat, not that I would've minded killing that commie filth).
I want that sonofabitch Hanoi John to be disgraced by all of us he placed such a curse on by his selling us out. I want the younger generations to know what we went through because of him.
But most of all, I want out GI's now fighting in Iraq to be welcomed home by the American public and PRAISED and APPRECIATED for their service by a Commander-In-Chief and their fellow citizens who will NEVER SELL THEM OUT!
Thanks again my FRiend for responding!
Can anyone tell me if Kerry said, "I am releasing all my military records." ??????
