And that disgusting, indefensible ad on Moveon.org comes out showing an American soldier surrendering. I sent them a scathing email telling them what I thought of them.

Thank God for the brave men and women who have fought, and are presently fighting for the USA - and the rest of the world.

I think it is so exquisitly just that Kerry gets paid back in full measure, by those very men he smeared and slandered.

And - as Mark Steyn has pointed out -- the truly weird thing is that Kerry was utterly blindsided by the reaction from the Vietnam vets he publicly labeled baby-killers, etc. It just never occurred to him that anyone would hold it against him, and he still doesn't understand why.

Isn't that just right. Kerry spent his entire life cheating, lying, and stepping on people. Now it's his turn and those he injured most are giving him the boot.

It never occurred to Kerry that 'little people' were important.

I believe Mr. McCown is correct. I, personally, was distressed that Kerry undermined my service and reminded me so often.

It got me thinking and I can't help but think that this guy is the Frenchurian candidate. X42 and Kerry's VVAW buds were in England and Eastern Europe at the same time. coincidence?

Kudos to the writer but I have to stand by one of my rules:

1. Any article, essay, or speech that references Yamamoto's quote in the first 2 or 3 sentences loses me immediately.

Another of my rules is "Any article, essay, or speech (particularly a Valedictorian speech) that quotes John Kennedy anywhere deserves to be given up on immediately."

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (L) and President George W. Bush (R), seen here in separate recent photos, are again running neck and neck less than two months ahead of the November 2 election (AFP/File)

Then he's a fool.

He'd never be able to protect and defend anything.

It's his just reward.

Someone posted a column a week or two ago that made the point that Kerry was trying to treat Vietnam vets more or less as stage props supporting whatever psychodrama he was acting out starring himself. The writer said it better, but the point remains and is apparently true not only of how he thinks of vets.

John Kerry continues to try to demoralize our Soldiers who are fighting as we speak. I really loathe that man and all he stands for.

In Vietnam when we signaled the helo pilots where to touch down...there was always someone with a rifle over head ...raising the rifle over head and then lowering it was the signal telling the pilot when to touch down...

The pic was used in a totally distorted manner....as per usual for these liars
