The more I research John Kerry, the more I realize what a turning point that period was in the character of our nation. Kerry fostered and participated in the idea of being suspicious of the gov’t, the military. He held up false charges against our soldiers and our gov’t. for the whole world to see and cast suspicion on the United States around the world. We live with that to this day. [The adacity, the treachery of meeting with the enemy while we were at war!]

When the SwiftVets stepped forward it was like they rose up out of history to remind us that honor counts, truth counts, and love of country matters and some things are worth dying for. That actions have consequences and people should be held to account. Something has happened to us in that we give a pass to things we know are wrong. A small band of soldiers has come forward to protect the nation from a dangerous man, and in exposing him, may also expose and debunk the radical movement that so damaged the souls of the populace and of the nation. Taking Kerry out can begin a much-needed healing for America and can only make us stronger.

I cannot understand nor penetrate the arrogance of those that cannot see the broadness of this mission -- that cannot grasp the importance of supporting the SBV -- I cannot see into the reasoning of those that feel threatened by honest, courageous men -- especially our own soldiers -- except that somehow it upsets their lives and that their vision is so narrow that that is all they can see.

I'm just wondering if talking about it on the net will be enough.

I would love to see everyone right of center come out of the woodwork in support of this site, but also in support of the "conservative" or "pro-american" movement that has been brewing for so long.

Wouldn't it be nice to take the reflecting pool back in Washington? It seems like the left has claimed that site for their own purposes. The last time I can remember it being used for something good was when MLK made his I have a dream speech.

At the bottom of the page loated at: www.swiftvets.com/index.php it says:

"For more than thirty years, most Vietnam veterans kept silent as we were maligned as misfits, addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of that poisonous image is seeking the Presidency we have resolved to end our silence. The time has come to set the record straight."

I am also noticing a familiar mantra by the mainstream media - ie, an agnostic conclusion - we cant know a conclusion. Why doesn't the mainstream media want it to come to a conclusion - because they were the main thrust behind Kerry and the anti-war protestors, using media tactics to making a small crowd look like thousands and making a relatively small movement appear to be a pandemic outcry of the majority - and characterized any opposers of the peace mvmt as "Archie Bunkers" - ie, narrow minded bigoted patriots! They are equally accountable for what happened to our veterans, our POW's and the widespread torture and slaughter of S. Vietnamese men, women and children. To bring this issue to a conclusion would not only indict Kerry, it would indict the mainstream media.

Today, we have the fair and balanced networks and talk shows that serves as the "New Eyes of America" - which MSMs and liberal left continuously attack - because they don't like to be accountable to anyone.

I'm not going to settle for anything less than a conclusion!

Reading Aaron's post and others brought tears to my eyes. I was six years when my cousin came home with a PH from Vietnam. I remember seeing him lying on his couch with his chest wrapped up, and he didn't want to talk much. He was the son of a proud WWII vet, and our whole family was so proud of him doing what was RIGHT. At least he had his family to welcome him home, unlike many vets out there.

I'm 41 now, and I realize once again why I homeschool our daughters, we're careful what we watch on TV & movies, and we teach our children to respect authority and love their God & country. It's good to know, at least in our little part of the world, we're doing the right thing.

These are historic times. I am sure that Kerry is living in the past and
is committed to repeating it. If elected he will create another Vietnam like
exit. Then apologize to the French and his state of the union message will
mirror the 1971 Fulbright speech.

This way he can feel nostalgic about his life.

Actually, I am beginning to see that had it not been for the war protestors, Jane Fonda and John Kerry, our valiant troops may have actually won the war. The war was lost on Main Street U.S.A. because the liberals sucked the blood out of our will to win. Exactly what John Kerry will do if elected.
