Baloney. You performed the litmus test.
My brother served in Vietnam from 1969-1970 and 1971-1972. In the more than 30 years hence, he has never once mentioned what went on there. He went on to serve in the Army until he retired after he returned from Desert Storm. He performed his duty and moved on. Is that a bad thing? Should we wallow in that war for the rest of history?
You can hound Kerry all you'd like. I could care less. But it isn't going to change anything and it damn sure isn't good for the country. As a matter of fact, it is a manifestation of what is wrong at the core of this country in decline. Competitive suffering is not what real men crave.
OH Man!
I realize this reply was not addressed to me, but you have really got this issue seriously confused.(backasswards)
John Kerry and his ilk are the manifestation and the disease.
Competitive suffering is not what real men crave.
Yes, certainly vets suffered as a result of Kerry's insidious attempts to stop a war. Many died in Nam and many more commited suicide in the years that followed All caused by J-Fn and his band of America hating, socialist, one worlder scum.
One of those men died in my place.
We want justice. We want to be rid of a traitorous person that worked directly against our strategic security interests during time of war in 1971 and continues to do the same in 2005! Doing essentially the same things he did in 1971 and thereafter.
Those who have nothing to forget during the Nam era must now listen to those who do and understand that John Kerry is still doing it! He is still working contrary to American interests and is still to this day a very dangerous and evil SOB.
You appear to want to give him a pass.
We have done and are doing the only thing that that we can.We are keeping these memories alive so that our children and people like yourself do not make the same mistakes by allowing a scoundrel to attain a position of power and prestige.
It almost happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it were not for vets and their memories, Kerry, a traitor, would be president of these United States.
You ask us to forget.
If we had remained silent, our country would have suffered greatly.
Real men serve God and country by protecting her from those who wish to destroy her. Real men learn from the past and from the memories of their elders and predecessors so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. We can not be selective with these memories. You learn much more from the bad ones. They are the ones that cannot ever be repeated.
Real men do not hide their heads in the sand.
