Ratcheting up the temerity. Do we have to encourage the SwiftVets to come back out and talk about that once more?

I doubt they will need encouragement. I suspect they are vigilant now that the traitor/loser is SoS.

Kerry’s at it again, waving around his “war hero” status. He never unsealed his military records so it’s impossible to believe anything he says. Some have claimed that he was dishonorably discharged for his conduct during his shortened tour in Vietnam. They say he wouldn’t obey orders and ran away from every potential conflict.

Are all of our so called leaders both traitors AND embarrassments?

Yes.

This is quite bizarre. I presume SOS Kerry is unaware that, in Israel, even the little kids know the sound of "real bullets", rockets too. And in government, well, combat vets aren't as rare as they are here.

Since his presumably informed, though bizarre, criticism is directed at Naftali Bennett, it's worth noting that we don't know if Bennett has been under fire. And probably won't, since his active duty and ongoing reserve service included serving in the Sayeret Matkal and Maglan special ops units. Naftali has served in Lebanon, but I'll bet he's never been to Cambodia for Christmas.

Diplomacy of this nature would embarrass most third world countries.

Old horse face thinks he’s talking to a bunch of American girly-men who are easily impressed by his empty bluster. In reality, he is talking to a nation full of combat veterans who have faced real bullets on many occasions - and this applies most particularly to those in high government office in Israel, since there is a very definite bias in favor of electing those who actually did something for their nation. He’s not only barking up the wrong tree, he’s also challenging God’s Word.

FUJK!

John ‘I served in Viet Nam’ Kerry still doesn’t have a clue.... The rabbis are correct. Not only will Kerry bring the wrath of God down upon himself unfortunately he will bring it down on the US as well

John, the only thing you dodged in Nam was your duty and loyalty to your country and the men/women who served in Nam. You were a liar and a traitor to America then, and you still are.

Freeper Ad: Kerry & Hanoi Jane Fonda/organizer for Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW)
Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry ^

Posted on 02/05/2004 7:45:30 AM PST by Conservative Coulter Fan

Here's Your Kerry AD, Mr. President!





About The Picture

As a key VVAW leader, organizer and spokesman, Kerry marched in demonstrations where there was a clear presence and "abundance of Vietcong flags, clenched fists raised in the air, and placards plainly bearing legends in support of China, Cuba, the USSR, North Korea and the Hanoi government."

Kerry was a vocal supporter of the "People's Peace Treaty," a supposed "people's" declaration to end the war, reportedly drawn up in communist East Germany. It included nine points, all of which were taken from Viet Cong (Vietnamese Communist) peace proposals at the Paris Peace Talks as conditions for a United States retreat from the Vietnam War.

This communist Vietnamese flag fits Kerry well.

The Story

U.S. Veteran Dispatch -- On the campaign trail, Sen. John Forbes Kerry regularly mentions his Vietnam War combat experience, during which he received three Purple Hearts, the Silver Star and Bronze Star. However, the Massachusetts Democrat doesn't like to talk much about how he received the awards or the time after he returned home when he was rubbing shoulders with Hanoi Jane Fonda (view article and pictures) as a much-celebrated organizer for Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), one of America's most radical pro-communist groups.

Hanoi Jane Fonda/Kerry/VVAW Connection

Fonda was the major financial support to one of the most damaging pro-Hanoi groups called Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), which was led for a time by Robert Muller, a Vietnam veteran who had been shot in the spine. VVAW, at its peak membership, mustered about 7,000, some of whom had been indoctrinated in the "Coffee Houses." That organization was later led by Vietnam vet John Kerry, now a U.S. senator and former co-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. (Source: "Hanoi Jane: Yesterday's Fiery Communist Revolutionary: She's today's very rich capitalist, U.S. Veteran Dispatch.)

There's More

Sen. Kerry, the "noble statesman" and "highly decorated Vietnam vet" of today, is a far cry from Kerry, the radical, hippie-like leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) in the early 1970s.

Soon after Kerry, as a Navy Lieutenant (junior grade) commanding a Swift boat in Vietnam, was awarded the Silver Star, he used an obscure Navy regulation to leave Vietnam and his crew before completing his tour of duty. After returing home, he quit the Navy early and changed the color of his politics to become a leader of VVAW. Kerry wasted no time organizing opposition in the United States against the efforts of his former buddies still ducking communist bullets back in Vietnam.

Kerry participated in the so-called Winter Soldier Investigation where his fellow protesters accused his fellow GIs of war crimes.

Kerry's betrayal of American prisoners of war, his blatant disrespect for the families of our missing in action, Vietnam veterans, the military, his support for communist Vietnam and his waffling over the issue of use of force in Iraq proves he is a self promoting Chameleon Senator who cannot be relied on to protect the best interests of the United States.

Although Kerry voted to support military intervention in Iraq he is now claiming that he only approved the threat of force by the United States.

The Constitution for the United States of America declares: "The President shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment."

Read the following and decide for yourself if you trust this man to be our Commander-in-Chief.



"We came here to undertake one last mission, to search out and destroy the last vestige of this barbaric war," Kerry told the cheering mass.



Kerry was a supporter of the "People's Peace Treaty," a supposed "people's" declaration to end the war, reportedly drawn up in communist East Germany.

It included nine points, all of which were taken from Viet Cong peace proposals at the Paris peace talks as conditions for ending the war.

One of the provisions stated: "The Vietnamese pledge that as soon as the U.S. government publicly sets a date for total withdrawal [from Vietnam], they will enter discussion to secure the release of all American prisoners, including pilots captured while bombing North Vietnam."

In other words, Kerry and his VVAW advocated the communist line to withdraw all U.S. troops from Vietnam first and then negotiate with Hanoi over the release of prisoners. Had the nine points of the "People's Peace Treaty" favored by Kerry been accepted by American negotiators, the United States would have totally lost all leverage to get the communists to release any POWs captured during the war years.

VVAW supported demonstration, Washington Spring Offensive, April - May 1971



In the Senate debate itself, Kerry, rather than embarass Vietnam by demanding the truth, launched a highly publicized diversionary investigation of the POW/MIA families and activists, who were demanding an honest accounting.

Kerry labeled them "professional malcontents, conspiracy mongers, con artists, and dime-store Rambos" who were only involved in the POW/MIA issue for money. Pictured right, Sen. John Kerry in Hanoi seated under a bust of Communist Vietnam's deceased leader, Ho Chi Minh.
