We are all sorry for what your father, you and your family.
The pictures do indeed have something to do with John Kerry and the Democrats. Kerry's actions caused torture. Just ask veterans of the Hanoi Hilton what they did to them after JK and Jane Fonda spouted off.
Most people, unless they are young, know what the VC did and to whom. They took a page from China's playbook.
As for your father not killing anyone. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be so sure. Would you be unhappy if he killed a VC?
And those of us who jump on "Bush's wagon" as you called it, do so because we hate the evil like that that went on in Vietnam. It is because of our compassion for those that live without the freedoms we enjoy that we support such a strong and clear-minded President. True, we can't fully understand the grit and horror of war, but it is the appreciation for the gifts that come from it. If we had been able to finish the job as we were so poised to do, then Vietnam would be a much better place, and your family would have, perhaps, had a better life. Your anger is misplaced, my friend. Be angry at the VC for what they did, and be grateful that there are those that didn't have to suffer.
