Liberals Are Vietnaming Us, And I'm Sick Of It!

Remember when John F. Kerry testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations back in 1971? Just in case you forgot, or never knew about it in the first place, here's a taste of what he said. "They [American soldiers] told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam."

It turns out that most of the claims Kerry was reiterating had come from men who never actually fought in Vietnam. In fact, most of them had never even been in the military. Still, that didn't stop him from trying to convince Congress, as well as everyone in America, that our troops serving in Vietnam were generally rapists, torturers, and psychotic murderers.

Thanks to the efforts of Lt. Kerry and his fellow communist sympathizers in the anti-war movement, popular support for our efforts in Southeast Asia steadily declined, and by 1973 the United States had pulled its combat forces out of Vietnam. However, in spite of the fact that we were no longer sending troops to that country, the liberal "peace at all costs" crowd still wasn't satisfied. You see, even though President Nixon had reached an agreement with North Vietnam to withdraw our troops, he had also agreed to continue giving financial assistance to the South Vietnamese military.

That's not quite accurate. Most (though not all) of the "Winter Soldiers" Kerry cited were in the military, and most had been in Vietnam, but relatively few were in combat, and therefore few were in a position to see the atrocities they claimed were rampant. The trick they used was to recount horrible "war crimes" in gruesome detail, while remaining vague about who, what, where and when, thereby making it difficult for investigators to verify or disprove their accounts.

We didn't have much serious investigative reporting back then, with Conservative or at least objective journalists demanding "WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY HOW" of the vulgar antiwar crowd. Fortunately, such journalists are appearing everywhere now, often with different titles of course. And that's why the Libs want to regulate Fox News and throttle the Internet. But we're not going to let that happen.
