I have always said the soldiers won the battles of Vietnam and the media lost the war as Dan Rather was so proud to mention shortly after the Tet Offensive in 1968. The SwiftVets to me were men (strike that) the hero’s who came foreword to set truth free from the oppression of the anti-American MSM who I have know doubt that if it wasn't for the 2004 election and everything that was inspired by it like the SwiftVets would have done everything in their power to portray our soldier today as the same baby killers committing an illegal act against sovereign nations we had know business attacking. Their headlines although still leaning heavily in this direction due to the liberal arrogance of the MSM was left out of kilter because of the attack of September 11 which inspired a popular support of the military to avenge and protect us from a now front page aggressor who had said and shown their will to destroy us. John Kerry is not a war hero but a mere opportunist who had no intention of fighting on the front lines of Vietnam. His only intentions were to build a resume (film footage included) for a run at the office of president of the United States he so much despised. This to me is no different that if it was Osama’s plan himself. The MSM response to the SwiftVets was to spit in their faces after no longer able to deny their existence and possible influence on the 2004 elections. The American public picked up on their heroic efforts to bring the truth to light and embraced them with the love of a mother holding her son after a violent tour of duty in a far away land she was never sure he would return from alive. I have so much respect for these men and the honor they have restored to our veterans of Vietnam or any other war fought in the name of U.S freedom and the liberties we take for granted more often than we should. One day we will see John Kerry’s SF180 and the facts that will tell a story of a man who betrayed his country and found himself confronted with a less than honorable discharge he claims every veteran who didn’t support him deserved. Many innocents died because of the likes of John Kerry and the MSM by the domino effect of their actions and lies. These men in Vietnam had served or died in vain to the euphoria of the MSM until the SwiftVets came like knights on white horses screaming we will not be silent anymore because we speak for all those who had not been heard, for all those who were spit on returning from battle by the faction in this country that hate people like us and what we stand for. The SwiftVets were to kind in writing a book titled "Unfit for Command" it should have been titled “Unfit to be an American”. I also thank Fox News and papers like the N.Y. Post for letting their story be heard and forcing the MSM and John Kerry to respond. I also thank Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity, and all the other conservative broadcasters along with the religious congregations who teach the value of life and its meaning for ushering in a new dawn in America. The fall of the MSM is on the rise and the rise of liberal ideas that have torn into the fabric of this society is in decline. It is okay, speak your mind and don’t let anyone put their foot on your throat and call you a bigot or racist or homophobe to shut you up, we all have the right to speak our minds without being oppressed. I have never been ashamed to fly the American flag in my front yard and I dare any liberal to take it down.

Excellent article!

The Swiftboat vets and POW's deserve the gratitude of this nation. Their actions did more than anyone else's to save our country during this election. Not only did they win this most important of battles, but they drove a stake through the heart of the Serpent they call John F. Kerry! He is dead in the water politically and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The Swiftboat vets and POW's put it all on the line for us not once, but twice and they have paid a heavy price in doing so. God Bless them!

I do not believe for one moment that the old media has a guilt complex over their coverage of the war in Viet Nam.

To this day they despise American military might and have no care at all for those who suffer under brutal dictatorships around the world.

Has JFnK signed the SF-180?

I wonder when he is going to realize that his SF-180 is going to be an insurmountable issue when he runs for reelection as Senator of Taxachusettes?

It was satisfying to know that the Vietnam Vets were a major part of John Kerry's defeat. It my have been delayed, but it was JUSTICE, nonetheless.

The fact that almost 4 million of our former South Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian allies were murdered after the fall of Saigon, is brutal evidence that the anti-war crowd and their media cohorts were conned by the totalitarians in Hanoi.

Add to that, Vietnam and Laos are still communist.

[ The last battle of the Vietnam War was fought on November 2nd, 2004, as John Kerry was defeated in his bid to become President of the United States by John O'Neill and the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. ]

The first battle of the Vietnam War hasnt even started yet.. The battle was not with Vietnam it was with "the Left" in the United States.. and with the "I'm a unite'er not a divider" agitprop hiding them.. Ann Coulter raised the flag and asked several questions, in her book "Treason" which went over like a popcorn fart.. The question, "What are you dividing yourself from".. should be the question.. The MSM and MSP are clearly on the side of the enemies of the United States.. not to speak of most all officials of Americas Colleges.. Americas left is the root of an evil tree that has made Treason vitually LEGAL in this country.. Cut the root(s) and let the hangings begin.. Otherwise, AMERICAN FREEDOM WILL DIE.. at least until the word freedom is re-defined as it is slowly being done NOW..

If the anti Vietnam War crowd admit they're wrong, those four million Cambodian and Vietnamese victims are tied around their necks forever. No wonder they run from the truth.

I think it may be too arly to say that this battle with Kerry and the Socialists is over. I think Kerry will learn and try again.

But the Vets helped in this one, as did many of us.

Lt. Webster, this veteran (who wore the uniform the same time as you) thanks you for your perseverance as well as your perspicacity.

We haven't heard the last from SENATOR Kerry, and it's critically important to contintue to aim the spotlight of truth in his direction.
