Vietnam veteran Joe Bangert, a John Kerry supporter, is angry that parts of a 1971 anti-war film he helped create is being used in an anti-Kerry movie.

I see Joe Bangert is back from visiting his Vietcong friends to help the Kerry campaign. For reference, here are some Bangert links from my last article:

The VVAW’s Philadelphia chapter, co-coordinated by Kerry’s associate Joe Bangert, came under FBI suspicion in June 1971 when a group it shared its office with, the Philadelphia Resistance (PR), distributed classified documents stolen from the FBI’s Media, Pennsylvania office that February.

While in contact with these foreign groups, the VVAW helped antiwar groups gather intelligence on US military installations, operations, and troop movements. Meanwhile to pressure the Nixon administration to halt US bombing against North Vietnam, the VVAW engaged in a series of increasingly militant actions beginning in late 1971. Over the 1971 Christmas holiday, VVAW members—among them Kerry’s associate Joe Bangert—protested US bombing by taking over several national monuments around the country, including the Lincoln Memorial and Statue of Liberty, and defacing them with antiwar messages.

Contacted by phone at his home in Gainesville, Fla., Camil said yesterday he had not seen "Stolen Honor," but was outraged by what he had heard.

Scott Camil the drug dealer, kidnapper, assassin, and traitor is "outraged"? Nice how they gloss over this scum's background.
