Another Kerry Email: "We Are the Troops" (Barf)

John Kerry Email ^ | 9/12/06 | John Kerry

Dear Friend,

I remember when I was back home from Vietnam and veterans were speaking out against the Vietnam war policy, someone yelled at the vets: "You should support the troops." One of those veterans said simply: "Lady, we are the troops."

With a war in Iraq gone horribly wrong and a Republican attack machine determined to smear those who speak out, there's nothing more important this fall than electing veterans to Congress who can speak out about Iraq with a special moral authority.

And man, do we need them. Recently, John "Randy" Kuhl, a Republican incumbent House member from New York, returned from a visit to Iraq. He reported that things were going well. In fact, he says he almost forgot he was in a war zone.

I can't tell you whether that hard-to-believe comment reflects his disconnect with reality or his refusal to level with the people he represents. But, I can tell you this: No one who knows what it really means to be in a war zone would talk like that.

If you act now to support Eric Massa, the 24-year Navy veteran running against Kuhl, there will be one less Congressman in Washington next year who blindly supports the failed Republican policy in Iraq.

Eric served in Desert Storm, Bosnia and Beirut. And he's telling people the truth about Iraq -- that there is no purely military solution to the problems there. He, three other proud veterans I'll tell you about in a moment, and VoteVets.org, a political action committee founded to support candidates like them, need your help right now.

This guy is such a liar.

I remember when I was back home from Vietnam

This immediately put me to sleep.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Was "support the troops" a common expression back then?
I bet it wasn't. I think that started with the gulf war.

I wouldnt believe Kerry if he said the sky was blue.
He was probably standing on Mars when he said it.

Then why do you constantly and viciously attack, attack, attack every statement the President makes?

JEffin'K, you are a liar and an @$$hole.

[Bommer]

"You should support the troops." One of those veterans said simply: "Lady, we are the troops."

And thanks to these "troops" we lost the war, Saigon fell and 2 million Cambodians were exterminated....oh then we find out 30 years later that some of these "troops" never served!

[Reagan79]

"I notice kerry isn't runnin for an airplane to go over there and see for himself..perhaps afraid of what he'll find??"

I think he can't go because he's an international war criminal, ya know all those villages he "razed" in Vietnam.

[TravisBickle]

Kerry was in Vietnam?

Wow. I never heard that before. He should have told more people. He might have got more votes!

[stylin19a]

I remember when I was back home from Vietnam ...

you forgot the rest...

I tried running for congress as a war hero. Nevermind I didn't live in the district( though I rented an apartment there just so I could run there). Nevermind that people had had enough of Viet Nam...when I lost, it suddenly dawned on me, that I could get more exposure if I was a war hero against the bad war...Nixon's war. I was a hero in the good war.. LBJ's war....HEY WAKE UP !

[rock_lobsta]

Kerry was in Vietnam?

Until he got three paper cuts...

[MikeA]

Yeah, you are the troops...for Al Qaeda.
