The Wisconsin delegation proposed a plan to contact 2,000 active-duty GIs in South Vietnam and in effect ask them for a mutinous action by refusing to take up arms when ordered to do so. This proposal was favorably accepted by the committee.Boy, am I glad you are on our side! This is excellent stuff.
Hannity....Head's up!
Seems we have the making of Swift Boat video no. 4...
O'Neill, Head's up!
Wasn't Kerry still in the military as a reserve officer during this time? And was he not still under oath to protect and defend the Consitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic? And did he not approve of this effort to solicit mutiny? If so,
FBI...Wake up!

Without question.
And was he not still under oath to protect and defend the Consitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic?
Without question.
And did he not approve of this effort to solicit mutiny?
Implicitly, if not explicitly. There is some ambiguity here, because it was at this meeting that Kerry announced that he was resigning from his position in the Executive Committee of VVAW for "personal reasons". Now, he will probably claim that as such, he was not involved in these decisions, but the FBI documents reveal that he continued to attend meetings and remained a high-profile member of the VVAW group for some time after that meeting in Kansas City, November 1971.
There is also one other damning thing that I found in browsing through these documents. Rather than re-type some things, I will link to a previous thread that I originated concerning using POW's a pawns or tokens in VVAW's attempt to establish themselves as an organization with "real power". It will sicken anyone who has ever felt compassion for a Prisoner Of War.
Kerry's VVAW Group Used POW's as clout tokens!
