The Last Battle of Vietnam
It never occurred to me, ever before,
That our Navy would win the Vietnam War.
When they took to their boats in this year of elections,
With the mission of making some major corrections
I shared their belief, John should not be elected,
And their view overdue, truth should be resurrected.
Yet I questioned the course they’d set themselves for,
Knowing how John was loved by the media whore.
Ignored and dismissed by the media queens
Being shrewd, savvy sailors they still found the means
To reach out to the people, to open their eyes
To a phony John Kerry and his war story lies.
With their very first ad, they torpedoed his boat,
A Cambodian Christmas would no longer float.
His heroics unraveled, his stories fell flat,
Especially that one ‘bout his magical hat.
John called on his lawyers and media whores,
And threatened the Swiftees with vile legal wars.
But these warriors kept charging back into the fire,
And made the folks wonder, “Is Kerry a Liar?”
Till the question of whether he’s telling the truth
Was still in their minds in the election day booth.
So the brave Swiftees gave us what we’d not had before,
They gave us our victory in the Vietnam War.
Those brave, stalwart sailors, falsely labeled as liars,
Stood firm and stood tall, kept directing their fires,
Steadfast, unrelenting, they served once again,
And defeated John Kerry, these honorable men.
All Vets can take pride, yes all, not just some,
That we won the last battle of Vietnam.
It took far too long to bring an end to our war
But we did, November Second, Two Thousand Four.
To our Brothers, forever, on that long black Wall,
You’ve been vindicated now, one and all.

What a great poem by a man who served in Nam.
Someone should take Kerry to court to remove him from office, seeing as he aided and conforted the enemy..

What a terrific poem.
My liberal friends amaze me with their perspectives:
1) Kerry is a hero because he was anti-war at a time when they were anti-war.
2) He was honorable because he "didn't want soldiers to die" and "we were losing"
3) He was just a young kid who didn't know any better.
4) The swfitboat vets are just "picking on details and no one can really know what happened"
The liberals are not changing their tune.
The Swiftees have hit the Snake in the head with a shovel...but the Snake is still in the field!
Thank's for those links. I'd been to lzxray.com before but not those particular pages. Tomorrow is the 39th anniversary of LZ Xray day 1. No better time to say thanks for your service.
