Many returning combat vets were spit on ...literally as well as figuratively...
We can thank John Kerry for this...almost as much as 'personalities' like Walter Cronkite..
It was this 'most trusted man in television' (an oxymoron if there ever was one) who betrayed the truth in order to sell his Marxist revisionism to main stream America
Cronkite began to turn middle America against the war as well as returning RVN combat vets just as Kerry and Fonda, the SDS, and Free Speech Movement and Rock Music turned the young against Veterans, and our nation..
It was into this back stabbing (or simply back turning) milieu many Vietnam combat vets were immersed....and at the age of 19 or 20 to be accepted by peers is of primary importance.....
Kerry offered young veterans an 'outlaw' kind of group identity that gave vets some recognition by, and approval of, the college crowd and most importantly...the coeds that were along for the ride as they evolved into anti American feminists... ( the girls loved the anti war veterans (or at least what passed for love back then)...they had that outlaw/rebel kinda thing going on...that Hollywood loves to promote)
I don't judge the young vets who joined up with VVAW too harshly..many were my friends and guys I had the privilege to have fought alongside...the guys who were the real vets..in VVAW were brave good soldiers
Many of the real combat vets who joined felt unwelcome in and alienated from the hometowns they left...Kerry and his phony vet crew played these 'younger brothers' like fiddles...and used them to consolidate his own political power...he and the other wannabes are traitors most foul
If nothing else I hope the treatment of Vietnam vets upon returning from that war... taught us that we can never again let the Kerry's of our nation give 'their' meaning to or define our battles or our veterans...we must pledge to support our troops at war and at home.
And when the wounded come home...we must pledge to never abandon them and to always hold our elected official's feet to the fire making sure that OUR VETERANS after care is first rate...in every respect
We must never let the American people be deluded by Kerry and his America and Veteran hating crowd.....without a fight
Kerry wanted America to abandon her veterans that youngsters and their parents be disheartened by it... that they raise up a generation of fearful children who when they became parents they too would be unwilling to encourage their children to fight for America....children who are loathe to wear the uniform of a warrior...and of their nation's military
This is how to destroy a nation from within...take the heart out of its young.... make them ashamed and afraid ....unwilling to fight..unwilling to stand against all enemies foreign and domestic
When you are ashamed and afraid and unwilling to fight....you demonstrate that you have NO LOVE for your own skin let alone your own people or your own country your own family your own wife and your own children
Pride in and a willingness to fight and if necessary die for someone or something you love.....is real love
The kind Hollywood or Madison Ave rarely promotes...the kind the John F Kerry's of this world want to extinguish forever..

I'd take several weeks of fecal rain to insure what I came back to never, no NEVER happens to the brave men and women who serve our Country in Afganistan,Iraq, The Phillipines and all the small places that don't even make page 27 of the local fishwrapper.
I pray that what's left of my hearing doesn't catch wind of a disparaging word.
