So, I read. I asked that my post be removed. They still seem much the same though. Sorry I misunderstood. No need to yell at me though :')

Time to reference the N.Viet. General's memoirs. The one that says without Kerry's activities, the South would have won the war. I gotta have a refeerence for this one!

There is no dispute that Kerry had every right to stand up against the war but it's the way he did it. Either he lied before the Senate or every Vietnam Vet, including Kerry, is a war criminal? It's a catch 22."The words spoken yesterday will always have an effect today". No one forced Kerry to join a radical Socialist Organization. Kerry testified to the Senate and he was under oath! He chose to throw medals (ribbons) back at the government. He opened his campaign with Vietnam a center piece. He chose not to disclose his medical records to the public. No one did it to him, he did it to himself. Kerry is really stretching pretty hard to discredit these Swift Boat Commanders against him. If he's really that confident about his 4 month service in Vietnam, why's he going on the defensive? Why is he not ignoring it the same way Bush has ignored the attacks on him by 527s?

If elected we will have someone who, by his own admission, committed war crimes serving as President of the United States and Commander In Chief of our Armed Forces.
Army Pvt. Lynndie England can get up to 35 years for actions mild in comparison to what Kerry admitted to doing.
We still prosecute Nazi War criminals.
Either he committed war crimes and should be treated and prosecuted. Or he committed perjury.
Yet Kerry is given a pass?
Lose/lose as far as I am concerned.
I am afraid for our country.

I apologize if I yelled. I am so stressed out about all the lying going on from the Kerry camp if I see anything wrong at all, I jump!
I did happen to hear that report and listened to make sure it was NOT the UN.
I figure this gives them a bone; then all those lawyers Kerry has hired will be a waste of money.

``I stood up against the war in the 1970s,'' Kerry said. ``Some people still don't like that, and they're still trying to fight that. That's 35 years old. But I'm proud of what I did to stand up. And I learned a lot.'' OK, hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe more died, but you learned a lot. I guess that's the important thing.

Hi bronxboy! I was on LI, in high school during the war. There was a lot of anxiety about it, and a the kids talked about nothing else. There were a few liberal idealists, but I would say 95% of the talk was generated by young boys and their friends, worried about the draft.
Once the draft died, the antiwar sentiment did too. Even the ideologues screaming about it was none of our business were just really scared they might have to go.
Kerry was different. He was older, and an exploiter for political advantage.

Sounds like GB is one step ahead of them, then. Good:')

Kerry's military records would clean it all up for everyone. That's not too much to ask. Bush released his.
