Talk to some of the returning Vets. Ask them how they were made to feel on their return from Vietnam. Ask what it felt like to be spit on, called baby killers.

My first Chief was a Swift Boat vet before he converted from Gunner to an ET. I remember him telling us one day at quarters that he went home after serving 2 tours in Viet Nam and his sister's first words out of her mouth to him were "baby killer". He spent the rest of his career overseas in Japan and after 30 years retired. He never went back to the states.

Many lives and families were destroyed by the anti-war, anti-American protestors. That's what Kerry should be judged by.

May God have mercy on his soul, because I don't.
