John F'n Kerry and his VVAW comrades poking fun at the heroes of Iwo Jima...

Note John Kerry's name at top right of The New Soldier

John Kerry, from his book, The New Soldier
"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small [American] flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the 'greater glory of the United States.'..."

"The John Kerry quote comes in the epilogue to "The New Soldier," the book put out by Vietnam Veterans Against the War [VVAW]. The book's cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking anti-war protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down [while mocking the historic flag raising event at Iwo Jima]":

(vets, presumably)

Please don't make that presumption. Many claimed to be Vietnam Veterans who were phonies that were part of the anti-war crowd looney lefties. It is happening again now. The book Stolen Valor provides documentation that many that claimed to be Vietnam Veterans supporting the left never served in the military at all or never served in Vietnam. You can also do a search on Winter Soldier for more about the phonies that were used for political purposes. The left did not just recently become devious.
