Of Medals and Men: Understanding the Veterans' Ire

Friday, August 13, 2004

"We will not quickly join those who march on Veteran's Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the 'greater glory of the United States.' We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars--in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold the traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim…We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds of fear."

-John F. Kerry, The New Soldier, 1971

This was in today's commie appeal in Memphis, TN

'Rambo' Kerry earned three purple ouchies, a gold star and a smiley face during his four months in Vietnam. When ''Unfit for Command," which chronicles the exploits that warranted such commendation, becomes the No. 1 best-seller, it may finally elicit a mention (probably in a book review). Please attach a lead weight to my morning fish wrap that day, as I fear it will be "spinning" like a Category 5. Thanks in advance.
