To be spit on and called child killers.
"Kerry is a piece of S---!"
Now this struck me as interesting because this guy is about as apolitical as it gets. In 15 years he has never uttered a thing about politics or a candidate. Anyway, he went on to say that EVERYONE in the VFW hall was up in arms over Kerry, that they supported the Swift Vets and that Kerry had absolutely NO SUPPORT among the veterans there.
To show you how much Kerry is despised, the VFW hall has 3 TV's running all the time over the bar and pool table, in the evening I have NEVER seen them off and I walk by the place every other day (exercise). I happened to be walking the night Kerry gave his acceptance speech live and went right by the hall at the exact time he was giving his speech. There are windows facing the street and I decided to see if the vets were paying any attention to this guy, seeing as Exeter tends to be a very liberal community. Well, I looked in and EVERY ONE OF THE TV's HAD BEEN TURNED OFF and everyone I could see was otherwise occupied.
The vets I know are up in arms over Kerry because of his actions against them when he returned from Vietnam. They don't "want Vietnam to go away," Kerry besmirched their honor and they want to set the record straight!
I served in the Vietnam theater of war on the USS Prairie (1970 - 1973) a destroyer tender. We were stationed out of San Diego and Long Beach. When we returned to the States, we were advised NOT to wear our uniforms off base because of all of the grief and ill will service men and women in uniform were receiving because of the evil, untrue things Kerry had said about Vietnam Vets. He is a traitor and his record of opposing EVERY major weapons program is a testimony to what he really thinks about defending America and how "strong" he really wants America to be.
This has nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with truth, honor and Kerry's traitorous actions. We lost in Vietnam because of Kerry and his ilk, and now he is making himself out to be a "hero" to generations who were not around in 68 through the early 70's, while the rest of us, according to Kerry, were and are war criminals. The Vietnam vets know he lied in the past, they are not going to allow him to lie now and get away with it. The truth concerning JF'n Kerry is not going to be swept under the carpet this time and THIS IS NOT GONG TO GO AWAY, NEITHER ARE THE VIETNAM VETS GOING TO "MOVE ON" and talk about something else because it is NOT about politics, it is about truth, honor, OUR reputations and setting the record straight for posterity!
Vietnam Vets never received a homecoming, that seems to be what is finally happening! Kerry's wrongs are being exposed and the honor of these fine men and women who bravely fought to deliver Vietnam and the rest of the world from communism is at long last being restored.
The greatest way people can support Vietnam vets at this time is to support Swiftboats for Truth!
