It would be nice to see how Vietnam Veterans remember who helped them get benefits for agent orange and post traumatic stress symptoms. Yes John Kerry was one of the cofounders of the V V A.

He was also a founder of the VVAW. And he's not known for voting for veterans' benefit increases in the Senate.

Yep, it would be good.

Spending on VA concerns has gone up 41% since Bush took office, more than twice as much as it did under Clinton's eight years.

Kerry scores a 0 with the legion on his votes.

This veteran would not vote for a traitor if he increased V.A. or disability 100 fold.

A real veteran cannot be bought!

So, let me get this straight:

He was for the Vietnam veterans before he was against them, and cofounded a pro-Vietnam vet organization before he cofounded an anti-Vietnam vet organization?

Does that sum it up? Or does it get more complicated?

Good links there too... NavyBrat...

It is truly amazing how Kerry duped some of our fellow WV'ian's yesterday.

But, you guys aren't playing along!

Kerry is supposed to come along and claim that he's fought for Veteran's issues all his life and we're supposed to just nod and clap.
