I'm sure that the administrator and moderator(s) will use common sense when policing the threads. For those of us who are military veterans, a certain amoung of language is to be expected. It's the content of that language that is the problem. It's the hate, anger and attacks on other members here that is the problem.

It's okay to be pissed, to get mad, but it's not okay to attack others by using language that you wouldn't want your daughter or son to hear or use. Of course for some of us, that would be your grandchildren!

AZ made a good point, in that we are in a fish bowl here, and alot of people are looking at us and this site. If we as concerned members want to seriously stop John F. Kerry from being elected in November, we all have to pull together, and police each other and our actions here. To keep acting and reacting as we have been will only convince others that visit here or come here to post that we are a totally pro-Bush and totally anti/we hate Kerry website, which we aren't.

Let's let the Administrator and Moderator(s) clean up the boards, and do their jobs, but let's make it easier on them by cleaning up our acts. Let the trolls and pro Kerry people visit here and make a$$es out of themselves, while we remain calm, and use common sense in our postings, and deal strictly with the issues and topics that will keep John F. Kerry out of office.

If it isn't true, and you can't prove it, don't post it. If you post it, provide links to prove what you say. If you copy something from another site, provide links and copyright information such as date, name of site/media/newspaper/etc., and name of author(s). Sites have been sued for it's members violating copyright laws.

Of course, personal opinion is always accepted, but stick with the issues and topics that benefit us, and our mission. Don't get sidetracked, don't be sucked in by the trolls. Let the Administrator and moderator(s) deal with them.

Sound okay to ya'll?

Woof!

"Due to the inordinate number of people trolling the comments, and the whirlwind that we know will be coming as F911 gets closer to release, we’re now going with a membership requirement to post comments.

You will have to provide a valid email address and confirm it in order to post. That should weed out the trolls and drive-by commenters."

Everyone visiting this Forum should visit www.wintersoldier and www.swiftvets.com to acquire some background information on our purpose for being here. An example from Wintersolder:

May 28, 2004 -- An interesting quote has turned up in the VVAW FBI Files. Some Kerry defenders have been claiming that his atrocity claims were just taken from the reports of others -- most notoriously, the Winter Soldier 'witnesses' -- and that he never accused his fellow Swift vets of committing war crimes. However, here's what Kerry told the Washington Star on June 6, 1971:

"We established an American presence in most cases by showing the flag and firing at sampans and villages along the banks. Those were our instructions, but they seemed so out of line that we finally began to go ashore, against our orders, and investigate the villages that were supposed to be our targets. We discovered we were butchering a lot of innocent people, and morale became so low among the officers on those 'swift boats' that we were called back to Saigon for special instructions from Gen. Abrams. He told us we were doing the right thing. He said our efforts would help win the war in the long run. That's when I realized I could never remain silent about the realities of the war in Vietnam." -- 100-HQ-448092, Sub A Section 01: page 79.

More than 250 Swift boat veterans are now on the record denying that their operations targeted civilians...

And....I can tell you from a full year of personal experience as a River Patrol OINC that the above statement is....."if" this was true of Kerry he is definitely a war criminal and should have been prosecuted...."or", which is more likely...A frigging Liar! Either way, the man has no character and no honor.

Swift Boats Veterans is telling the truth - they've got that Kerry Kampf into a real dither, too - as you can tell by the ferocity and zeal displayed by their folks over here.

Still slamming vets, just like their hero always has.

I do care what the Swift Boat Vets have to say. If Kerry is going to try and win the White House by promoting his "service" and Bush's service, and if veterans by an overwhelming majority don't like Kerry, then any open-minded person has to take their views seriously.
