Although (former Viet Cong soldier) Sinh had never heard of Kerry, he had a strong opinion about the debate surrounding the candidate's Vietnam War record as a U.S. Navy Swift boat commander: Kerry must have had guts to troll the Mekong Delta's spider web of rivers and narrow canals knowing that Viet Cong like himself were waiting to pick him off.
"Kerry served in Vietnam and he was awarded the medal for his bravery," Sinh said. "He deserves the medal." Hung said he was also puzzled by the uproar over Kerry's decision to join the antiwar movement upon returning home.
Although Kerry may be worried about veterans' support in America, Sinh said he would vote any day for his former enemy over President Bush.

Of course they would vote for Kerry... he helped them win.
This is a genuine news article, NOT a spoof.
Although, when I did a search, to see, whether this has already been posted, I did come across a similar post, which WAS a spoof from scrappleface.
Viet Cong Vets for Kerry Refute Swiftboat Book

"The Viet Cong veterans' support comes at a crucial time for the Kerry-Edwards campaign, just days before the release of Unfit for Command : Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry.

Well, it's not a joke anymore, it's real, genuine news. And LA Times published the news -- do they really think that endorsement of Kerry by Viet Cong soldiers will help him? LOL
LoL!
Just the endorsement Kerry has been awaiting...VIET CONG SOLDIERS FOR KERRY!
"He knew the suffering and how much misery it brought to the people of Vietnam — he knew the cruelty of war," Sinh said. "So I don't think he would go to war again if he's elected."
That is exactly the problem. We don't want a wartime President, who would refuse to go to war to defend our country and the American people.
The next thing we will see is a promotion for a NWO from JFK and the liberal branch of the Democratic party...
more communists for Kerry...
Kerry is a war hero, a North Vietnamese hero especially.
Fight Kerrorism vote Bush 04
"This is a genuine news article"
Are you sure? This is from the LATimes.
Ha! Will Kerry post this article on his web site?
Victor Charlie votes for Kerry. Why don't you?
It's from the Associated Press.
Someone should go over to Vietnam, interview some of these Viet Cong on camera and make an ad of it.
Hooray for Kerry. Looks like he has chalked up another endorsement from the Asian Autocrats special interest group. First, it was the Malaysian autocrat and well-known joo-hater Dr. Mahathir who came out in support of him. Then Kerry got another ringing endorsement from those well-known humanitarians who operate above the 38th parallel. Now Kerry has chalked up an endoresement from communist acolytes who are directly responsible for killing American troops 35 years ago. But who I am to bring up things that happended 35 years ago. After all, if you are Republican you aren't allowed to discuss what happened 35 years ago. That privilege is reserved for New England bluebloods who are running for president on the Democratic ticket.
