Did you just see that Vet in full dress! Humid & 90 degrees & yet he stands with his brothers in full dress. Stunning.
Wow, her dad rescued Rick Rescorla.
She said that Kerry should apologize to them!
Damning evidence of the absolute moral depravity of the modern-day Democrat party.
How can he possibly have an argument for anything these people are saying?
Yes
Send Laura a hug!
Im telling ya'll, America will NEVER be the same after this!!....I wish my Daddy could be alive to see this awesome salute to the honorable Vets of Nam...
I'm so glad, Im an american this day...
God Bless Our Vets
Laura says she is talking about the facts on Kerry!
We'll let her do that herself, if she likes.
He is dangerous to our military!
talking about cobra gunship pilots - dear freind did 2 tours as one.
Kerry should be spanked and sent to bed without his peanut butter butler to ease his hunger pangs at dinnertime.
called the real vets "the real experts"!
Not hollyweird!
Yeah. Anyway...
Laura Armstrong’s plain-talking, unnuanced speech is slicing Kerry open and exposing him for the complete fraud that he is. These vets are American citizens who did their duty, did it well, and came home to be either ignored or reviled. One veteran, though, came back to cheers. That he carried the mark of “hero” because of questionable wounds only made him a bigger catch for the left—he’d been “turned”. Like Nixon going to China, Kerry was supposedly a warrior truned against the war.
In fact, he was a rich brat who tried to get deferments, and when he didn’t he did serve, admirably, first on a ship and then, in a time when they were not so dangerous (by his own admission) on a Swift boat. He received wounds far less than those suffered by others, and got early release from the more dangerous part of his service. Then he sold out his brothers—NOT because he turned against the war, but because he protested the war in a way that hurt these men and others, helping the enemy win the war.
But there is a very human cost to his maneuvering, and this woman and the other speakers are filling in that picture.
The media want us to know the human costs of the war in Iraq—and that’s fine, we should be aware of that. Too bad when it comes to the thing Kerry did that made him their hero, they don’t have that same urge to show the whole story.
Thanks for speaking today Ms. Armstrong!
I don't know.
Salute him for me
the democrat party is dead this year.
Kerry's just fortunate that the majority of voters in his state don't care if it's senators have killed women or betrayed their nation. In most states both would be shunned for the lack of character they have exhibited.
