I'm ashamed that I was one of the silent majority who turned my back on them in the 70's . . . not maliciously but out of complete ignorance as to their plight. They're back on the front-lines fighting for us again, despite the slights they received . . . we should whole-heartedly support them this time and I'm afraid we will once again lose our passion in our post-election euphoria.
Traitors must be exposed. The SwiftVets are willing and able to run with the ball . . . we should be running a little interference for them this time.
Don't be ashamed. The anti-American propaganda was and still is very powerful. The media and the leftists are to blame and should be ashamed.
I am a Vietnam Veteran (USMC, 69-70) and was duped by the propaganda too! For many years after I returned, I thought there was something seriously wrong with me because I did NOT have flashbacks, nightmares, urges to plunder the countryside, and other symptoms of PTSD.
The truth about John Kerry and his ilk must be told!
