[Once a Marine, Always a Marine?]

The anti-Vietnam War documentary Winter Soldier is having its first major theatrical release -- 34 years after it was made. It focuses on a three-day gathering in 1971 when Vietnam veterans, including former Marine pilot Rusty Sachs, told of the atrocities they had participated in or witnessed during the war.

[MarineBrat]

I wonder if Traitorous-Maximus will be at the premier?

[wvobiwan]

I wonder why anyone expects a completely discredited lie-umentary to be broadcast-worthy now?

Or are liberals trying to cement their place in the basement in preparation for the 2008 elections?

[mbynack]

Many of the people interviewed were later determined to be frauds. Many never served in Vietnam and some had never been in the military. This is the type of "documentary" that Michael Moore creates. No facts, no proof, just propaganda.

[Wolverine]

Every Vet should get this to his email list. Don't let the liberals lie to the public. The lies of John Kerry, endorsed by The NYT and Hollywood are being re-released again (34-year-old antiwar documentary "Winter Soldier" ).

 

First Jane Fonda comes out of retirement with her bus tour and now this.

The VVAW used fake vets to give accounts of atrocities.

Steve Pitkin was a real VN vet.

By the way, the only VVAW member ever to sign an affidavit about his testimony at the Winter Soldier Investigation is Steve Pitkin. He refuted his former lies:  In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who has now filed an affidavit stating that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam.

The NBC Nightly News reveals that Al Hubbard had not been an Air Force Captain, as he claimed, but a staff sergeant E-5. A later investigation of Hubbard's military records shows that he was never assigned to Vietnam.

John Kerry's photograph hangs in the War Protestors Hall of the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City -- an indication of the value the Vietnamese communists place on Kerry's support of their efforts during the Vietnam War. http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=20040531140357545

November 12 - 15, 1971 -- the VVAW leadership meets in Kansas City. Fearing surveillance by authorities, the group relocates the meeting to another building. They debate, then vote down a plan to assassinate several pro-war U.S. Senators. Despite John Kerry's claim to have left the VVAW before this event, several witnesses, meeting minutes and FBI records eventually place Kerry at the Kansas City meeting. http://daily.nysun.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:ArticleToMail&Type=text/html&Path=NYS/2004/03/12&ID=Ar00100

Or, could it actually be a ploy by NPR's new conservative-leaning management to further damage the junior liberal scumbag from MA, and all those preaching anti-Americanism on the left?

[Freemyland]

Rusty Sachs? Is he related to the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.

[johnny7]

Is this where they talked about killing Republican Senators?

[conservativeharleyguy]

No, that would be Rusty Sack.

[erinjohn]

"Rusty Sachs? Is he related to the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz."

That is classic. Thank goodness I wasnt drinking soda when I read that.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Another one of the Corps' ten percenters. I'd like to know what degree Sachs earned before he was commissioned in the Marine Corps.

A 1972 graduate of Harvard College, Rusty earned his Juris Doctor in 1978 from Vermont Law School and was a practicing attorney from 1979-2001. He also studied overseas at the Universite de Grenoble, France.
