A friend dropped off Unfit for Command. I've read 1/3 of the book. I am reading a tragedy.
Although I thought I was well informed by reading about O'Neil and the Swift Boat vets charges on FR, it is NOTHING compared to the book.
Nearly every single thing we thought about the war was portrayed incorrectly by the press and by the way in which Kerry was able to characterize our beloved, brave soldiers. I could sob. It is a tragedy.
He'll be on with H&C tonite. It's going to be tough to hear so be ready.
And did you know that O'Neill is recovering from recently donating a kidney to his wife?
These men are serving their country once again, above and beyond the call of duty.
Your reaction is the reason we must go through this.
This affair is not about the Presidential election. It is, in fact, about Viet Nam.
The country has been living with a lie for thirty years. The truth, however, is beginning to dawn and America is in the process of shedding its demons.
The Swift Boat Vets are the agent of this change. John Kerry will be destroyed by it, as a matter of "collateral damage" -- a mere bystander (though hardly an innocent one).
Both the left and the mainstream media are going to take it in the chops, as well. And, with their Viet Nam myth exploded, one wonders exactly what the left will have left.
History will be served.
