"Thanks for post. I'm enjoying this payback to Kerry and his ilk. One of my ambitions is to live long enough to piss on Jane Fonda's grave."

She is #2 on my list of graves to urinate on. Fidel Castro is #1 as he came close to killing millions of us. Even with that data, Fidel barely beats out Fonda.

"On a more positive note and speaking to sterling character of most Vietnam Vets, let me relate a story told to me by my son. He is a grunt with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. He returned to Camp Pendleton from fallujah and al-Kharma, Iraq in July. When the USAF plane landed in Maine at an Air Force base to refuel at 2:00 a.m. in the morning, the Marines were allowed to disembark for a short period, still in their 782 gear. He was amazed and delighted that there, as they deplaned, were veterans waiting to welcome them home with coffee, donuts, and handshakes for a job well done. He found out that Vietnam veterans had been the driving force in arranging these welcome home parties for all troops. They had invited and rounded up vets from all the services, ranks and times of service to greet these young men. He still talks about it. God Bless 'em one and all."

Thanks to your son and his fellow Marines for serving our country and protecting us.

This is great to hear.

Thanks for your service to America and us.

Your response below needs to be repeated and repeated until every vet with a brain and sense of morality is totally outraged at Kerry.

"I was at my combat ptsd group on Friday. I'll tell you how we are doing.

Most of us are really getting torqued up. To hear that man's testimony again, and hear that he 'stands by it' is almost too much to bear. You see many of us came back with some very painful memories. We had to do things to survive that were not pretty. It is normal to be affected by that.

However, the reception we got on our return, convinced most of us to just try and forget about it. That is the WORST thing you can do with war trauma. You have to be able to process it so it will not haunt you as much.

I, and many other Nam Vets, hold Kerry, the VVAW, and Fonda personally responsible for this. What they did was despicable. The damage is irreparable. That is not even counting what they did to the POW's.

I am so sick and tired of seeing guys with that 1000 yd. stare who have had a living hell for the past 35 years. Most of this was preventable. This is Kerry's legacy.

On Friday, one of our guys was finally able to talk about when his chopper (he was a door gunner) went to extract a copter team that had been shot down. When they got there, the crew had been stripped, strung up my their feet, genitals cut off and in their mouthes. They knew all of them. As they returned, they came upon the VC wearing the clothes of the copter team. There were no prisoners taken. A crew member had to pull him off the .50 caliber gun.

He still is dealing with the sting of being called a war criminal. Was that a war crime? Go witness what he did, find the perpetrators and tell my what you would do.

You see, Kerry never presented any information about the VC or how any of these 'war crimes' happened. He never related the horror stories of how the VC treated prisoners, dead, wounded or alive. He doesn't talk about a whole village's children who had their left arms cut off, because the US Medics had gone there to vaccinate them, and the VC found out. He didn't talk to a Vietnamese woman who did some work for us whose 3rd husband had been killed by the VC because she worked on the American base camp.

Anyway, he will not be getting many votes from his 'band of brothers'."

Wow, Bush sure is busy finding all these Viet Nam vets and paying them to be angry at Kerry and make movies. It's a good thing no one has accused hero Michael Moore of being partisan like these vets.

To all I've pinged:

Please go to post #4 right now.

Click on the links (Wolverine so generously) provided.
Watch 'em.

Could very well be the most damning indictment against the treasonous, traitorous, and certainly cowardly John F. Kerry to date, hands-down.

If y'all have viewed these videos, please excuse my ping; BUT, make damned sure the videos & their links are saved to your HD for further distribution to those who may not have seen 'em.

Should a majority of the citizens of this great and fair land this November decide they want this louse as our CIC, so be it.
But then let no man or woman who freely casts their precious vote for the disgraceful fruad, say they didn't know about this video, either.

...many thanks Wolverine for the links.

Great story. G-d bless these vets; they had to learn this the hard way. And they are making sure the next generation of vets doesn't have to go through that again.

I purchased the Movie, "THE HANOI HILTON" at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago because it was on sale for $5.99. I recall seeing the movie on television many years ago. I had a chance to watch the movie yesterday and now it the movie, more than ever is relevant to the anti-war actives of John Kerry during the Vietnam War and how the POW's were tortured many times due to the actions of John Kerry, Jane Fonda and their friends in the media.

If you have an opportunity I recommend highly that you see this movie and let others get to see just a glimpse of what the POW's went through while held prisoner by the Communist North Vietnamese.

The video is available from Amazon and other online video stores.

From website: "Shot in the Dark" http://www.shotinthedark.info/

"In 1987, Lionel Chetwynd's excellent Hanoi Hilton received widely-mixed reviews (many of them politically-motivated). Worse, its distributor essentially sat on the movie, under pressure from Hollywood leftists, for its treatment of Jane Fonda. The movie depicted life at North Vietnam's Hoa Lo prison accurately - but it changed the last names of the prisoners, and of their visitors, including Jane Fonda. An actress who represents Fonda ("Paula") does everything Fonda is said to have done while in the Hilton. That was one of several stories that Hollywood didn't want told (that and, of course, the moral of the story; the men survived because of their military training and warrior ethic). "Hanoi Hilton" was buried, received a tiny theatrical release, and is hard to find on video today. (Do it if you can - it's an excellent movie)."




On the back of the box there is the following endorsement from President Ronald Reagan:

"Every American should see this powerful and moving film as a tribute to our POW's."

President Ronald Reagan

Hanoi Hilton (1987)

Genre(s): POW/MIA, Vietnam War

Cast: Michael Moriarty, Paul LeMat, Jeffrey Jones, Lawrence Pressman, Stephen Davies, David Soul, Rick Fitts, Aki Aleong, Gloria Carlin; DIRECTED BY: Lionel Chetwynd; WRITTEN BY: Lionel Chetwynd. PRODUCER: Cannon Films.

Review: A brutal drama about the sufferings of American POWs in Vietnamese prison camps. Non-stop torture, filth, and degradation.

From Amazon.com website:

Editorial Reviews
Description
A true story about American soldiers interned in North Vietnam during the years 1964 through 1973, and their struggle to survive within the infamous prison complex they dubbed the Hanoi Hilton.

COMMUNISM WAS EVIL, EVIL, EVIL, June 7, 2004
Reviewer: Steven R. Travers (CALIFORNIA) -

One lonely conservative voice has been trying to shout out from the "wilderness" for years. Lionel Chetwynd is a writer/producer who made "The Hanoi Hilton", which actually described the North Vietnamese as the evil torturers they were. The "Hilton" was the moniker given the infamous prison camp where American POW's were kept while Jane Fonda was flirting with our enemies. Liberal film reviewers criticized it. Do not believe them. It is good stuff.

The Hanoi Hilton, January 18, 2004
Reviewer: Thomas A. Silvia (Jackson, TN United States) - See all my reviews

I was in the Air Force during the war and have over 100 combat missions. This is the most accurate presentation of the war that is available. It is a story that needed telling and still needs to be told. It describes the situation of the American prisoners in Vietnam in an accurate and truthful manner. Everyone should see it.

The Hanoi Hilton, April 25, 2001
Reviewer: Marie T. Cei "mcei" (USA) - See all my reviews

This movie shows what terrible hardships these prisoners had to endure. I had the privilege to talk to one of the wives of these heroes and she confirmed a lot of events shown in this movie. Also stated that she was not allowed to even mention that her husband was shot down for six-months. Tell her that this movie was "too long and over emotional"!! Most Americans just did not want to face reality during this sad time in our Country's history. I was there during 1966-1968 and in Saigon 1970. --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition

Summary: The Libs Hate This One

While this doesn't have the action of 'Rambo' or the surrealism of 'Apocalypse Now', or 'Full Metal Jacket', it does hit dead-on as the most realistic of the Vietnam movies yet.

Most especially, it accurately contrasts the quiet heroism of the POWs with the hypocrisy of the Hollywood Left, and their comrades in the news media; so much in fact, that it is really pretty amazing this film ever got made at all.

Hollywood hated this film. You can see a typical Hollywierdo review of this movie, where it is referred to as "Right-wing bullshit." Go to: http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/80saction/hanoihilton.html
