On Friday I was on the last day of my vacation in San Diego and I spent some time walking around Balboa Park. A DNC volunteer was walking down the street trying to get people to support John Kerry. As my wife, my two friends (both veterans) and I walked past her she asked if we would like to sign up to support John Kerry. I said, we are Veterans, and she said "OK, nevermind" and walked away from us.

Wow. I didn't know "Behind Enemy Lines" had a basis in reality. There must be a book out there about O'Grady's experience. Was that French-sounding admiral that appeared to be in cahoots with the enemy patriotic spin or did he really act that way? What was his actual nationality (the real guy, not the actor)?

There is an important lesson concerning multi-national forces in Mark Bowden's "Black Hawk Down." read about the rescue force and the delays while international chains of command dithered, foreign forces had no motivation to save American troops, had third-world equipment, left American troops behind forcing them to walk out behind the rescue force. The rescue force was wearing the blue helmet, were they not?

Man oh man. The contrast between these two veterans- Mike Durant and John Kerry. Leaves one speechless...

I was at the rally yesterday. Mr. Perry's "Sign" was a sheet with several paragraphs of writing scrawled on it in magic marker.

The Bucks County Courier Times love to quote Bill Perry. They're my paper, so I have researched Mr. Perry before and posted about him on my page. If you remember the altercation at the cancelled "Stolen Honor" show, he's the guy that wound up with the other guy's hand around his throat in the news coverage (The choker of Mr Perry (Dan Sweeney) was there, too - sitting quite near where Mr. Perry was standing. He's on our side)

Anyway - here's more about Mr Perry.

During one heated exchange, Korean War veteran Dan Sweeney of Philadelphia grabbed Bill Perry, a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, by the neck. Asked why, he said, "because I felt like it, that's why."

"Kerry can't handle the words that he said himself. Otherwise this film would be shown tonight," Sweeney said. "They don't want anybody to see what he said."

Perry, who said he was one of 120 soldiers who testified during the 1971 "Winter Soldier Investigation" of atrocities they witnessed in Vietnam, called the film no good.

At one point, he and Dalbey stood nose-to-nose arguing its merits.

"The movie's a sack of lies," Perry said. "I was in Vietnam. I witnessed these things."

"How can you comment about what you haven't seen," Dalbey shouted, referring to the 42-minute film. "Get him here to debate this. Get Kerry here."

A little look into the background of Mr. Perry reveals that he had the following to say about the United States during the Winter Soldier "investigation":

People say we must stop the war. I feel it's so much more than this. The whole rich man's game has always been fear. They've always been very much into impressing us. Now here's the Empire State Building. Be impressed. Now here is the C-5A or some fantastic jet bomber. Be impressed. You know, be afraid of it. Here is a club. I'll bust your head if you don't stay in line. Be impressed. Be afraid.

Here's what Mr. Perry had to say about Vietnam under communist rule:

The whole life style of the Vietnamese people, their whole cultural and social way of life, is nothing but love. It's a kind of love we really lack in this country and a kind of love that we have to build. A kind of opening of ourselves, an honesty ourselves and a love for each other where you know there will be no reason to hurt anyone except perhaps to protect our love. You know, the kind of love which is called primitive or savage.
