Those who dismiss critics of John Kerry's Vietnam service as just a bunch of right-wing Republicans out to advance George W. Bush's cause don't know what they are talking about -- or they are engaged in wishful thinking. Okay, I may have once thought that about the critics, too. But after poring over the large volume of e-mail I received after my Aug. 28 column, "What Matters About Kerry and Vietnam," I don't any longer
.....Bill Clinton appointed Coleman to the Pentagon post, in which he served from 1994 to 1998. Somehow, despite our running into each other over the years at various social occasions, Vietnam was never a serious topic of conversation between us. Until now.
.....I spoke with Coleman this week about citing his e-mail in a column. He agreed, adding that he was still wrestling with his Election Day decision. His final written words are worth remembering, especially by those in the Kerry high command.
"I served my 13 months in combat. Returned in 1972 with the Bronze Star and the Vietnamese Technical Services Honor Medal to a very anti-Vietnam America. [Harry] "Butch" Robinson, Denny [Dennis] Hightower, and many more that you know did the same. We endured the pain of separation from our loved ones, were frightened when the rockets came in to camp and lives were lost. But we were never unfit for command. ..
..."Kerry still hasn't satisfied me and many others. . . . It's September and I'm still conflicted. Speaking for myself, it is NOT enough that he served!" Those aren't the thoughts of a Republican-funded, right-wing, over-the-top Swift boat veteran. Ignore them, Kerry camp, at your peril.

Notice how Hanoi John and the dNC fifth column marches in full goosestep with Islamifascists? democRats now claim Alwari is "a puppet," which parrots the party line of their Ba'ath Socialist bretheran.
They stand together against freedom and justice for all.
This is a good thoughtful piece.
Oh boy. LA Times yet.
That's gotta hurt.
I find it so refreshing when a LIBERAL will admit wrong judgment and make it right.
Colonel Fred Cherry ~ waybackwhen that was my secretary's boyfriend ~ all of us in the office had to read everything about him there was.
I'm so glad that the Swifties were able to be so effective. It's poetic justice.
J skerry is the same today as he was in 71, a sedisous, anti-American, commie activist. He has now taken the responsibility for every death of our young people in Iraq.
MSM, where is the outrage.
Even in a campaign filled with outrageous and despicable remarks, Lockhart's calling Allawi a puppet was stunning. The notion that a presidential candidate's representative, much less one who was a former White House spokesman, would publicly align themselves so directly with our enemies in a time of war would have been inconceivable in years past. This is exactly what Zell Miller is so righteously indignant about.
Bump!
To my mind, the lack of outrage over the puppet remark is the most damning indictment of the MSM and the Left in recent memory. Not one who's quick to anger, but this makes me eye-popping-teeth-gritting mad everytime I think about it.
You are so right. They deserve all the help we can give them. The Swifties are a political weapon of mass destruction. They are so effective, they make everything else look like political spitballs.

I want someone to say to Kerry... "There you go again, first
you ran down the country during the VN war. Now,you are trying to do it again."
How anybody who is of age during VN can vote for this Kerry traitor is beyond me. The Swift Vets are the honorable ones.
When I push the button to vote for Bush, I will be pushing the button in part thinking "Kerry, I remember you during the VN war and this vote is for the friends who didn't come back."
That just gave me chills...well put!

Asquare cell is more appropriate than an oval office for Hanoi Boy.
The quote is from a black Vietnam veteran, a Clinton supporter and appointee. Woof.
The article concludes:
Those aren't the thoughts of a Republican-funded, right-wing, over-the-top Swift boat veteran. Ignore them, Kerry camp, at your peril.
