There is no other reason for Kerry to bring up VN . . .

Yes, there is.

He had to bring up Vietnam because the 35 years that have passed since then have been an utter waste of time for him. He doesn't have anything else to run on . . . his Senate record is even more boring and dull than his typical campaign speech.

AC, I think we've been lulled in. Swiftboat/VietNam = Red Herring. These ads and books are devastating to Kerry; Kerry's campaign is chock full of Clintonistas who probably directed him in this direction to get everyone fighting Viet Nam over again. Someone on FR said yesterday that Kerry (really Clintons, et al, IMHO) is "spitting" on the Vets now just like they did when they came back the first time. Meanwhile, HRC gets every "t" crossed, etc.
