I found the following excerpt most helpful.

From the thread you referenced:

As it turned out, most of VVAW, with the exception of John Kerry, were NOT war veterans. They were pretenders and wanna-bes, fabricating their military records.

I didn’t mean all vets.

Additionally, while I noted that you acknowledged your error, I also noted that there seemed to be no expression of regret for offense caused by the earlier insult to the veteran community at large.

That approach seems to parallel that of a certain Cabinet Secretary. You may not wish to be thought of as being in the same intellectual communal company.

Use of the word, "Sorry," in front of your sentence: I didn’t mean all vets. would have be appropriate to remedy that condition.

Sorry, didn’t mean all vets. I hold members of that group in very high regard.

The quote you used is in fact wrong, most members of the VVAW were in fact vets, only a couple were not and couple had not served in Nam. Also the number of members was a couple of thousand not tens of thousands.

Do you think if our current problems degrade into a popular revolution against our ruling elite that our vets would defend our constitution or aid the ruling elites?
