Whoa! You just really NAILED it. I was 22 in 1968--but I didn't have a relative fighting in Vietnam to keep me informed of the TRUTH and all I knew was that a lot of guys my age were fighting and dying in a war that I was constantly being told was unnecessary and wrong! I hated the war--but only because it was killing the men fighting it. When I saw Vietnam vets turn against the war, that did it for me. I figured if they thought it was wrong, it had to be!
Now I know that what I was being told was nothing but lies, and for me it's VERY personal with Kerry--and the media. They lied--to ME--now they're trying to doing it again!
But, THANK GOD there are people like you and others here on FreeRepublic who know the truth and are committed to the VITAL necessity of getting it out! God Bless you!

Unluckily . . . or luckily depending on your perspective . . . I must confess that I still have a vested interest in the current war. My beloved nephew is fighting in Iraq and I know firsthand how what Kerry says makes the lives of our soldiers that much tougher. We must fight just as hard on the homefront as our warriors are fighting on the foreign-front.
Ahem . . . please forgive my one tiny Vanity . . .
I just found out five minutes ago . . .
MY NEPHEW WILL DEFINITELY BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!! 
Okay, I'll shut up now. I wish EVERY FReeper could see the celebrating going on in my house now. I'm surrounded by family and friends who always gather here when we expect an email from my nephew.
Can't write through my tears. Bye y'all.
