Thank you, thank you FreeRepublic.com !
In the BOTTOM JPG, check out the TOP RIGHT paragraph regarding Cambodia .....
"On more than one occasion, I, like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now, took my patrol boat into Cambodia. In fact, I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."
There is the lie. He NEVER WAS in Cambodia. The Swiftboat book Unfit for Command addresses that issue. And Nixon, who had WON election in November 1968, did not take office until January, 1969.
John Kerry is a LIAR! I think mostly Bush haters would vote for Kerry. I say George Bush in a landslide win November 2nd !

I too often confuse where I spend my Christmas Eve with a generic evening in January... /sarcaam
What an amazing clipping. Kerry shows that he realizes the people of Vietnam are not just a bunch of gooks, and that not many were Viet Cong or VC sympathizers. Yet he would abandon them to their fate at the tender mercies of the VC and their Northern puppet masters. In fact his activities once he came home were a very large contribution to that abandonment which did in fact occur.
"Apocalypse Now" - one of the least realistic comedies coming out of the Viet Nam War.
