VFW

I feel really sorry for these VFW guys. They feel so absolutely betrayed by John Kerry. Forget the Purple Hearts; Kerry came home and denounced his brothers in arms. I can't even imagine how it must feel to be a Vietnam vet who sees Kerry cash in on the war hero image.

I feel for them too, and I certainly hope that the his after-vietnam actions are brought more into focus. This more than anything will damage him. I know alot of vets that feel we would not have 'lost' vietname if it wasn't for the likes of the anti-war movement.

Why the hell would we want to elect one of the principle anti-war players from that era to lead this country during a time of war? Do we want to 'lose' another one?

"I certainly hope that the his after-vietnam actions are brought more into focus."

They are more certain than whatever he did in Vietnam.

"Why the hell would we want to elect one of the principle anti-war players from that era to lead this country during a time of war?"

Because he's not Dumbya.

"Do we want to 'lose' another one?"

Wouldn't it be worth it if only Dumbya were gone? The whole world would love us. Iran would never bother us again after we give them the nuclear fuel they need. /LLL :)

For once, I agree with Bill O'Reilly.

IMHO his actions after his return is where the focus needs to be. The medals are awarded, can't change that (I don't think) but his actions afterwards speak volumes. He betrayed his brothers in arms. He turned against everything they stood for. How do we know he won't betray us in the same way?

My thoughts, once burned twice shy. I have no faith in him at all.

But then again, that's just MHO
