[So Cal Rocket]

From the epilogue of The New Soldier, written by John Kerry:

We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim. It is from these things the New Soldier is asking America to turn. We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear, and mostly from the promises which have proven so deceiving these past ten years.

But 30 years from now I will tell Americans I was proud to fight in this war.

The author of those words must never be President of the United States.

Those words must be read to every voting American (assuming copyright restrictions can be satisfied, of course).

I cannot reference for exact quote from Unfit For Command but loosly; Kerry believed there were no heros returning from Vietnam now that he is running for CIC he's touting himself as the only hero.

you know the sooner Kerry is in hell with his communist buddies the better I'll like it.....

The RNC should just read word for word what Kerry said,tell the public where they got it,Simple use it as a commerical.This would hurt Kerry!
