I know in my heart that hundreds were abandoned to a lifetime of hell. I'm ashamed of my government.

John Kerry and Jimmy Carter are only out for themselves. Their goal, to destroy this country.

C. Stewart Forbes

According to research and articles during the election time, the two Forbes families were from different clans and were not related.

Some will tell you of CHINESE officer’s corpses discovered AO in South Vietnam and “near the border” with Laos..

Of course since we never operated within Laos — we must assume the Chinese were found “near Laos”...

Far too many NVA and Charley corpses had good foreign watches, decent dental work and personal letters in their possession written in Simplified Chinese kanji - to be a coincidence....or Vietnamese..

Friend - there is still MUCH about that clusterfuc* being withheld from the American people....

The left in this country and the Democrat congress who defunded Vietnam and led to the collapse of South Vietnam should not be able to say “Vietnam” without hanging their heads in shame

Their war, their defeasance, their treason, their shame.

Nixon and Kissinger and Gerry Ford and even the Reagan and Carter and Clinton Administrations, and both Bushes, deserve some lumps for this.

Jimmy Carter had to know better, he was ex-Navy and a micromanager deluxe. How could anyone in the military lie to him, unless he turned a deaf ear?

Bush 41 was the damned DCI for God's sakes! And Gerry Ford had to have been briefed on this -- Henry Kissinger was his Secretary of State, didn't Henry tell him all this stuff?

It just makes me ill.

But in the later innings, it seems to me that McCain and Kerry and Slick Willie all deserve serious lumps for that "rapprochement" and "normalization" garbage. Clinton even wanted to visit Vietnam on a U.S. warship, and the Vietnamese Communists were insisting that he sail into port with the red Communist rag flying from his masthead, above the colors of the United States. I don't know who talked Slick out of that one, but whoever it was had to love his country, and he saved it from one more Clintonoid humiliation.

And could Nixon do anything when they railroaded him out of office with a Watergate scandal that was 99% faked up?

Watergate was pretty much on-the-record and on the level. I watched the hearings, and James McCord and John Dean gave as much info was was needed to make the case. I didn't see Ehrlichman's or Haldeman's testimony, but I saw John Mitchell's. They were a pretty sorry crew -- hey, Haldeman and Ehrlichman were advertising executives, what did you expect? The guys who weren't young and callow (Bob Odle, Jeb Stuart Magruder) were unscrupulous, and John Dean was arguably both. And the guys who weren't one of those, were spooks. What a crew.

The only person who looked halfway decent out of that whole bunch was Maureen Dean.

---------------------------------------------------------

That is so unusual too. Because there was a C. Stewart Forbes from the John Kerry line of ancestry in Shanghai, China back in 1879. I can see having the same last name, or even the same first name; but to both be C. Stewart Forbes, and unrelated, is quite a coincidence.

IMO, his biography needs to be scrutinized.

"Henry Kissinger was his Secretary of State,"

Would you say that Henry's character flaw was his pragmatism?

But the way John McCain betrayed his fellow POWs has always struck me as the ultimate treason.

There have been other reports from fellow prisoners of McCain’s
stating, he betrayed his fellow prisoners while being held captives.

I'm sorry. I should have been more clear.

You asked if C. Stewart Forbes was related to Malcolm Forbes [father of Steve Forbes]. I answered no, that they were from different clans.

C. Stewart Forbes is very much related to John Kerry and the old Shanghai drug running bunch. In the excerpts I posted C. Stewart is identified as Kerry's cousin.
