I know, this is a copy and paste from the original word document, I am just lazy it is 3AM here!

It is late here too, but thinks again for the post. It is a great one.

I dont often write, but this one had to be written and explained.

We need to move on from Kerry's actions in Vietnam, we made our point.

The next point is what he did when he came home. That's what this is about.

The third point is a quick one: What he did in the Senate! (The smallest book ever written)

This is a great, thoughtful, and well-researched essay.
I am 50 and I remember those days like it was yesterday.
I ALWAYS thought that it was the Soviet-provocateur-led anti-war culture which killed America's resolve to win the war. Kerry was a very useful chump in those anti-war efforts, and yes, he does have blood on his hands. Fonda at least had the (bare and belated) decency to apologize.

Thanks for the ping - - this one is bookmarked.

Semper fidelis,

Jim Bancroft is a former Marine who served in the United States Marine Corps from 1977 to 1981, and served off the coast of Iran for the Hostage Rescue Attempt of April 24-25, 1980.

First, I remember well the hostage rescue attempt. I was at Lejeune at the time and the place was abuzz that we were going.
Second, what's this "former" Marine stuff, Marine?

Semper fidelis,

It seems like there is some disparity in the numbers. He quoted 36,000 KIA at the end of 1968 and 58,000 at the end of the war this amounts to more than the 9,000 additional deaths that he referred to. Did I miss something here. If somebody has an explanation, could they FReepmail me with it? Thanks

[RaceBannon]

Thank you. If not for the internet, the research would have taken weeks.

If not for FR, the knowlege of those links would have been nil.

But I think these are the new points we need to focus on, we made our point on the Vietnam phoney ribbons and cowarice, this will take a few weeks to ramp up on, but the media will cover it if we press.

[RaceBannon]

add in 1969, you went from the 1968 numbers, and then to the 1970-1975 numbers

:)

Good Job Marine! Thanks and Salute! ...two

[RaceBannon]

Thanks!

If not us, who?

If not now, when?

You are right, we must spread the remainder of the bad things Kerry did over the next couple of weeks so as to get all the word out.

Good post.

Thanks for the post. It lays out everything in one easy to read and remember history lesson.
