If the VC had quit after the Tet Offensive 1968-early 1969
how many of our Comrades would be alive today?
thanks to the aid and comfort furnished by Kerry,Fonda,etc
they need to be called to the carpet and tried for Treason-Espionage-
Take your pick

We'll never know how many would still be alive. Unfortuantely, whenever I mention that Giap was prepared to negotiate a surrender after Tet of 68, I get hit with inane statements like, "well, that's just one man's opinion."

The radical left can't face the fact that they prolonged the war, not stopped it. To admit it would automatically be admitting to treasonous acts.

Redd, there's plenty of blame to go around on who got us into Vietnam. Neither party is without fault. Turning it into the political quagmire that they are now trying to turn Iraq into, though, is unconscionable to me.

We have several Democrat supporters and with our help, they may be able to rescue their party from the far left.

The millions exterminated after we left!

Kerry had no clue then and has no clue now. In some ways, I pity the man. He will answer for the people that have died due to his misconduct.

Losing a political race is the least of his problems.

I hope you are correct...Unfortunately there are examples where RHIP is alive and well in political circles. Sad

Sorry Lew, but that's spin. I stated a straight fact.
I used to be a Democrat, grew up one and stayed one well into my adult life...until they left me in the dust. I was a Democrat...Not a Liberal, never a Liberal. Now there's no difference between a Democrat and a liberal. We use to refer to ourselves as Truman Democrats. Now...I'm a Independent. Facts are facts; they have to be faced, not put on a Political Spin.

As far as Iraq being turned into another Viet Nam...The Democrats have been doing this for the last year or more. The only Democrat I have any respect for is a man named Zell.

Part of being a Liberal is being Politically Correct... which means you don't have to be responsible for your actions. Just like Kerry with the North Vietnamese...just like Kerry in the 71' Senate Hearings...Just Like Hanoi Jane, who has never admitted what she did was Wrong , let alone admitting that she provided aid and comfort to the enemy.

LBJ micro-managed the war.

If he had let the generals do it, I think we would have saved American lives.

I guess that was LBJ'S version of a sensitive war.

My daughter thinking she was doing the right thing for Christmas

last year got me a copy of this book , I think the name is

"THE MISTY MOUNTINS" OR "THE GREEN MIST" I can not rembmber it

right now as it cause a brain problem as I read it, and I hid it from

myself as its makes me cry.

It is this lady's work of trying to help those left behind by the

"kerry work" , how the "humong and bru" tried to fight for their

lives aginst "whore -s33t- men etal" 25 years of total horror caused

by Kerry to people who were in the ambush's out on the "trails"

showing us "igloo white" techs where to put the aucabouys

HE MAKES ME SICK

i will find it tonite if i can and post the book ect. "do not read it"

let others as it is not good for a VN vet to read,
