Yes, bad things happen in war, which is why we hate war. But, Kerry did not stop with that, then or now. Kerry accused all Americans who served in Vietnam of being war criminals, led by war criminals, and Kerry continues that lie.

This is Kerry's unforgivable sin to all of us Vietnam Veterans. May he rot in Hell for this.

Here is one Viet Nam Vet whom John Kerry does not speak for and I have not found one honest to God Viet Nam Vet yet for whom John Kerry does speak for. There are not a large group of Viet Nam Vets with qwhom I associate but the ones I do know laugh at John Kerry's quest for the presidency based on his war record. We all know what a sham it is and how impossible it is for one who served such a short time in Viet Nam to have accomplished what he is edged to have done. It is all bullshit and we know it. I was just an average working Joe like most GI"s and I certainly did not rate any special medals. Neither do 90 percent of those who serve. Kerry should stop whining about his war record, get a hairlcut and tell his stupid wife to shutup. Maybe then he could gain some ground but I doubt it.

Thank you for your service to your country.
As my husband and I watched Kerry speak at the convention (with lots of grit), Kerry lauded his 'welcome home.' Then my husband had to leave the room and parted with "Yeah, and you and the buddies you hung out with gave me MY welcome home." It breaks my heart to realize the unforgivable treatment US soldiers suffered not only then, but now. I am a firm believer that a soldier's action to fight for his/her country -- whether in Iraq, Vietnam, or any other 'conflict' -- is no less heroic than those great soldiers in WW2. The day-to-day in Vietnam did not have a great plan, but the bigger picture of you fighting for others to know liberty and justice are most noble.

Amen brother!

You are more than welcome.

My older brother served in the AF, he joined in 1969, went to basic training in San Antonio (Lackland AFB), spent a few months in Denver (Laughlin AFB) and finished his tour in Minot, ND.

I guess if there's one good thing about this Kerry fiasco, it's that you and other Vietnam Veterans are finally getting some of the appreciation that you so deserved at the time for being in harms way for our country. I only wish I could do or say more.

My goal is to fight the good fight, and donate all my available time to make sure John Kerry is defeated in November.

[Mr. Rips]

Former POW Senator McCain complained in 1973 that Kerry’s testimony was “the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us.” Senator McCain, a nice guy, has lately forgiven Kerry.

It is beyond me how McCain can forgive him for that.

[Merry]

My husband stands with you. He will NEVER forget the welcome he got when he came home and will never forget John Kerry.

[TheGeezer]

Please also accept my admiration and thanks for your service to the nation. God bless you!

I salute those who served. My class was the last one drafted and I missed service by a matter of months. I am glad to see more Viet Nam vets speaking up before it is too late. The guy is the biggest fraud I have ever seen. He wouldn't know how to defend this country if he really needed too. I keep asking..."What has he done in the Senate to warrant a promtion?" How could this man get three purple hearts in 4 months when it sounds as if they were scratches or "self promoted" wounds.
