For review and comment. Things like this must be made as public as possible. Especially like the paragraph that says Vietnam poses no threat.

150 spoke for over a million who served honorably and who did their duty without creating atrocities. Mr Kerry should show this to the approximate 500,000+ Vietamese refugees living here. It would appear that some of the statistics were politically motivated.

You're afraid of Vietnam? Should we invade? What about Australia?

The date on this is 1971. That is over two years after Nixon was elected and we actually started making progress toward winning the war. The democRATs could not tolerate having the U.S. actually defeat a communist country! They got in the way at every possible point.

We saw that many people in this country had a one-sided idea of who was kept free by the flag, and blacks provided the highest percentage of casualties.

Myth: The war took the highest toll on minorities.

Reality: About 5 percent of those who died were Hispanic and 12.5 percent were black -- making both minorities slightly under-represented in relation to their proportion of draft-age males in the national population.

Kerry is a total IDIOT.

I honour his service......but his brain is mush.

I certainly can see why veterans are upset by comments made by John Kerry, thirty three years ago, it was a very divisive time, but why isn't anyone concerned that George Bush used his family influence to assure that he would never go to Veitnam?
