The Northwest Veterans Newsletter: Guest Op-Ed by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady

[Jewels1091]

This would be a nice op-ed piece in every major newspaper in the country!

Great post. The General has an excellent point. I had forgotten about all the suicides. How many times did Steve Magarett stop some looney VN vet with a rifle from killing a bunch of people on Hawaii 50?
Kerry owns, along with his VVAW buddies, thousands of lives. Not only in VN, but when they got home.

[ppaul]

What Kerry did or didn't do in Viet Nam is really a moot point. Let's stop debating the RATS about it. What counts is what he did after he returned to the United States.....

:

Honest men can disagree about whether or not Kerry fluffed up his deeds to get a purple heart, but his testimony before Congress was crystal clear: It's part of the Congressional record and tape recorded for posterity. His actions in testifying before Congress and in leading the VVAW gave great aid and comfort to the enemies of freedom. Only God Almighty knows the entire toll Kerry's actions had on the lives of the men he sold out, and on the innocent people of South Viet Nam who perished. My eyes well up with tears when I consider the years so many of our finest and bravest men suffered from injuries that were inflicted upon them by the enemy emboldened by Kerry's rhetoric. The names on the wall. The ones we will never know. Their blood cries out from the ground. Surely, we can in charity forgive John Kerry for his folly, maybe even excuse his actions because he was "swept up with the times." Maybe. But should this man ever be allowed the honor of serving as the President of the United States of America? Never.

Could this op-ed be sent to my local newspaper? It is the Daily Oklahoman and the Edmond Sun. I also would like to thank all veterans for their service to our country. You are all heroes in my eyes.

It isn't John eFing Kerry's military service in Vietnam that counts...

It is what he did when he came home that counts!

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66

Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris on the American Communist Party's nickel.

John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position. But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

Bump.

[potlatch]

Thanks for a very good article.

Vietnam veteran has been an exceptional citizen; but there is one disturbing statistic -- their suicide rate. In the first 5 years after discharge the rate was 1.7 times higher than non-veterans.

Along with this he provided aid and comfort to the enemy, worsened conditions for POWs and advocated a policy that ultimately led to millions dead in Communist purges.

John Kerry has contempt for this country and for liberty and freedom. How can he be fit for command at a time of war, how strong will he stand against our enemy, how resolute will he be in Afghanistan and Iraq. Like his runnig mate said, ask the men who served with him.
