You may be right about a typo which should have read 1967. That would cover Tet in early 1968.
Come on man, you DO KNOW that John Kerry served in Viet Nam?
I know that may be news but I heard rumors.
:o)
Also the Press loved to use, during TET the phrase:
American Forces DECIMATED.....
It sounds like a nasty little word but it means 10%, American forces had 10% casualties overall, the NV had upwards of 60+% and we know now with KGB files and defectors that if MacNemerra and Johnson would have let the Military do its JOB and go on the offensive we would have been done in 6 months.
"Without soldiers there would be no freedom to criticise those same soldiers."
Kerry was just here in Cincinnati today speaking to the VFW and the media DID NOT air the fact that there was a WALKOUT.
One guy stood up and said, "If no one else will say it I will, Kerry is a LIAR," and out they went. They were Nam Vets. It was reported by 700WLW radio but no where else.
Yet there was NO walkout when Bush was there.
By the way Thanks for YOUR service.
