Exactly. Well said, Phil. Not enough emphasis is placed upon this irrefutable truth. Jane Fonda, John Kerry and the VVAW group which included the author of this denial piece with the help of Uncle Walter at CBS all set up the climate for the abuse of our veterans when they returned from their nobel, heroic and thankless tours of duty.
Swiftie Kerry ran over there, trained out of harm's way for the first month, so actually only saw 90 days of "real" duty, and from what I've learned, he ran away from trouble whenever he had a chance. The only time he presumably pursued the "enemy" was that one incident when an already severely wounded teenager was fleeing Kerry and our triple Purple Heart winner shot the kid in the back.
I'm sure that nobody spat upon John False Kerry upon his triumphant return to the States.
They didn't spit on Kerry because he supported their cause of trashing the military. He lied before congress about abuses and war crimes.
John Kerry claimed he was a war hero. We ALL know which side of the war he finished on. Same as Benedict Arnold was a hero to both sides. It all matters who you side with at the end.
If the war was wrong, then Kerry was wrong to shoot at Vietnamese.
