I haven't been on the site for ages, Biglook - guess I'm inactive as well. It's not the length of Kerry's tour that gives me problems - I had a short tour as well. Of course, I spent more time in hospital under treatment than he served in-country.

He's the pivotal member of the Unholy Trinity - Hanoi Jane, a second generation Hollywood leftist, John Kerry, the quintessential traitor, and Walter Cronkite, the war correspondent with the courage of a rabbit.

Yeah, Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America." One look at the advancing NVA in early 1968 and he promptly defecated in his pants. He managed through his glibness of speech to convince the American public that the stain and smell radiating from his fouled skivvies was the odor of our troops in defeat.

I have to admit, over forty years later, I can't let it go. I long ago came to terms with the War and my service in it, which was faithful and honorable, although not heroic. What has me going now is the screw-job being done on today's troops, despite all the lip-service being given to "support the Troops" by the leftists. Too many successive deployments, unconscionably perilous ROE's, inadequate support for returning troops and their families - the list is endless. Now the Marxist bastard in the WH means to balance the budget by gutting the military and ripping the heart out of their benefits.

It stinks to high Heaven! This great Nation is being undone by these bastards and our children will not live in Freedom!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Funny you should say this...my buddy and I just watched Vietnam War - The Impact of Media (Narrated by Charlton Heston) tonight, though I am sure it is old hat to you, FRiend...:)

Heck, you are probably the one who sent me the link!

You are spot on, and thank you for your service.
