Believe that if Vietnam were today, that we might win it. Liberals don't have their stranglehold on all sources of media now.

A side point: who were we fighting? Communists. Same people that killed close to a 100 million of their own people. We were right to fear them! They were an "evil empire."

Now, when the likes of Jane Fonda say or do something stupid, they are very strongly criticized and countered by Conservatives and the Conservative media. Something that they are shocked by since they have had a monopoly on the media. Not anymore!

Still a very tough battle the fight (not referring to the Iraq War itself but the BS campaign that the Left are now waging against the War).

We Conservatives need to keep on top of this. Thank you Freerepublic!

I'd pay good money to see someone put one of these babies on "Hanoi" John or Turayzuh's bumper.

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home
and to those who died at home from injuries and
from broken hearts.

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all.

I will not tire, I will not falter,
and I will not fail.

I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor
until I give my last breath on earth."


I spent 3yrs on a destroyer in the Navy from
'66-'69 as a Gunners Mate, GMG3.
USS CORRY DD 817 '68-'69 Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club Member.
USS CORRY DD 817
Home port was Norfolk Virginia
and sailed with her in the North Atlantic,
Caribbean,(dealt with Cuban gunboats off of Havana in Jan '68)
thru the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Viet Nam and back.

I was there the same time Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which sometime supplied PCF's and PBR's
and provided gunfire and gunfire support
in North AND South Viet Nam.

My ship may have even supplied
Kerry's boat in the Mekong Delta

Although there are many similarities between naval gunfire support
and Operation Sea Dragon (which ended Nov '68), they differ in two important areas:
naval gunfire support is normally fired at the request of troops ashore,
while Sea Dragon's mission is the interdiction of supplies and destruction
of military targets; and naval gunfire support is always conducted in South Vietnam,
while Sea Dragon missions are fired only above the demilitarized zone.

29 US Navy ships received gunfire from Viet Cong shore batteries.
My ship DID NOT get hit by the VC.

In Feb '69 my ship was part of Operation Bold Mariner
which was the largest amphibious assault since Korea.

This is EXACTLY what I used to do as a Gunner's Mate 3rd class.
DoughtyOne found this top pic from another ship.
The bottom pic is the ship I served on.



USS CORRY DD 817

catch-up of Kerry in 1998..... all mispelled words are mine

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) Argued That Saddam "Obviously" Was Working, "Secretly And Otherwise" On Weapons Of Mass Destruction, Kerry: "Mr President, over the years, a consensus has developed within the international community that the production and use of weapons of mass destruction has to be halted. We and others worked hard to develop arms control regimes toward that end, but obviously Saddam Hussein's goal is to do otherwise. Iraq and North Korea and others have made it clear that they are still trying, secretly and otherwise, to develop those weapons." (Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 10/10/98

Kerry Said Saddam Used Weapons Of Mass Destruction In The Past And Wanted "To Try...To Continue To Do So." "Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. ... It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis." (Sen. John Kerry, Press Conference, 2/23/98)

Back then it was the myth of round the clock "atrocities."

Today it's the myth of round the clock "torturing."

If our military was under the command of an international peoples' organization and that organization was committing atrocities and torture (real atrocities and torture as defined by a dictionary) the left would not care one whit.

"Atrocities" and "torture" are not the issues for them. False charges of "atrocities" and "torture" are weapons. The issue is the destruction of our sovereignty and military. IMO.

Oh, I dunno.... say $50? :)

Now if you can procure a high quality video of Old Equestri-face's reaction to it, that'd be worth lots more.

John Kerry, November 16, 2005......thirty four years later.....

"Democrats shot back immediately, with the party’s 2004 presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, saying “it is hard to name a government official with less credibility on Iraq” than Cheney."
