BEAUTIFUL article. A must-read for the leftists in this country... Though they won't.

I thought you were the Romanian apparatchik when you stuck that paragraph into the post.

Re your tagline -- I'd like to think more optimistically. We might lose the republic from time to time, but we always get it back. It's still worth fighting for!

John Kerry ruined lives.

Let us not forget the 1000 plus POW/MIA families who have lived for 30 year without resolution.

When Kerry had the chance to help them, he once again sided with the enemy. Scum.

Thousands and thousands of the so-called "Greatest Generation" treated our Vietnam veterans like this and worse.

VFW halls throughout America, filled with WWII veterans who in Patton's memorable phrase had probably spent the war "shoveling sh!t in Lousiana", turned away young battle-scarred men from their gatherings.

The FDR-worshipping scum of the 1940s still have not been called out for their lack of patriotism in the late 60s/early 70s.

A FreeRepublic sceename B4Ranch has been exposed on the illegal immigration post as a DEMOCRAT TROLL trying to cause division posting against Bush. Thought I would give a heads up on this thread....watch out.

A BIG thanks to Brother Steve for standing up and telling us all the truth.

I too was encouraged and tempted by my older Marxist/Commie '60's sister, to get involved with those 'hip' VVAW -- add to it the seductive hippie chicks and drug culture on an early '70's university campus, and this angry Vet was very tempted to join.

Only by the Grace of God, did I dodge a very seductive VVAW bullet.

A couple of my VietNow friends have told me that this is one of the reasons VietNow was formed, but haven't wanted to give me much detail because it's water under the bridge and the VFW now has plenty of Viet vets. Still, if you have or can point me toward any further info, I would appreciate it.

Probably just as well.

It's difficult to imagine that you would now look back on the experience fondly...

Here's your smoking gun. Kerry was not simply 'repeating other's testimony.' He was pressuring them to make it up.

Kerry was ACTING as assistant to the Communists.

Pitkin appears several times in the documentary film "Winter Soldier,"

This film needs to be found, dissected, and cross-referenced for veracity. It may be the document of lies that will destroy the VVAW's (and Kerry's) version of history for all time. How many documented holes, lies, distortions and frauds can some capable investigation bring to light for the world to see?

"Steve Pitkin wants to apologize to Vietnam veterans for what he did and said at the Winter Soldier Investigation."

Scott Camil ping. I'm cautiously raising my head post-Frances now that our power and cable have been restored. You all right?

We have lots of limbs down here in the yard in Orange Park. But no damage to the house or cars and NO INJURIES either.

A tree and large branches missed us, I just heard yet another crash behind us (!!) -- we're thankful to be ok, too.

IT, this is an incredible article -- thanks so much for posting it. Scott Camil, a real 'blast from the past', was a topic of recent thread.

They could created false memories with that type of manipulation. That make me very angry. You don't take advantage of the vulnerable especially if they're experiencing any mental illness...like depression. They were used as politically pawns by the anti-war activitist...did they have psychologist? I know they had rap sessions.

That's not helping out the vet........grrrrr.
