Don't think this passes the smell test.
This article brings it together for me. My father was killed by a land mine in France in September 1944. This was after D day and the march to Germany through France was taking place. I was only 2 years old, so there is no memory, just stories. I read the letter sent to my mom occasionally which came with the posthumously awarded Purple Heart. My father earned his Purple Heart, and died in a country who could care less about his sacrifice.
When Officers in combat put their own interests before their mission, they endanger not only the mission, but their country, their families, those they are fighting for and ultimately their own men.
"Officers" like Kerry evoke a visceral reaction from those of us who have actually had the experience. I, too am a VietVet. My father was one of the original SeaBees in WWII. Both of my older brothers served in the Navy during the Korean War. My service was in the Army, '69 thru 71, MACV in 1970. By some miracle, none of us were ever wounded, but we all had comrades who were - some of whom did not survive.
It is from out of that same deep well of emotion that conjures up love, admiration and respect for those men, that comes the visceral response to pretenders like this prevaricating coward.
If this is not a call to action, we will never hear one!
Write letters, call congressmen, express outrage...but most importantly, GET OUT THE VOTE AND SHOW THIS PHONY THE DOOR. (Then we'll put on the pressure to expose and prosecute him...The MSM loves to kick them when they're down.)
I am not a hero, merely an ex-GI who had the honor the serve with men who were. (And all of us stayed for our full tour.)

This article is somewhat troubling as it leaves out the fact that so many of VVAW members were frauds. Also, as I understand, the atrocities were, by and large, unverified and unverifiable.
Doug Brinkley, who was out defending Kerry and chopping up the Stolen Honor guys on O'Reilly last night, should read this letter.
Bump!
Purple Heart ping
They were betrayed. Robert S. McNamara (SecDef) was the most responsible for no-win policies, but he had plenty of help in the Kennedy-Johnson ranks. Those policies stretched the war and its carnage for at least several years. In the end, the cowardice and mismanagement in the top ranks of government threw out everything that our service people worked and fought and died for.
Wow!
BUMP!

I just got this in my email today and wasn't sure if anyone else posted it:
This is the FREE video clip of Kerry and VVAW.
It's a powerful 3:52 of video....
And Kerry and the DNC cannot stop EVERYONE on the internet from seeing this.!
