How did he feel about those who came home?

I would like to talk to you a little bit about what the result is of the feelings these men carry with them after coming back from Vietnam. The country doesn’t know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history; men who have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one has yet grasped. - John Kerry

How did he feel about those who had been made prisoners of war?

Kerry publicly supported Hanoi’s position to use our POWs as a bargaining chip in negotiations for a peace agreement. - Terry Garlock

How did he feel about those who were left behind in the prison camps?

The Kerry committee’s final report, issued in January 1993, delivered the ultimate insult to history. The 1,223-page document said there was “no compelling evidence that proves” there is anyone still in captivity. As for the primary investigative question —what happened to the men left behind in 1973—the report conceded only that there is “evidence … that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number” of prisoners 31 years ago, after Hanoi released the 591 P.O.W.’s it had admitted to. With these word games, the committee report buried the issue—and the men. - Sydney H. Schanberg

Why was he the leading figure in restoring diplomatic ties with Vietnam?

Shortly after Kerry declared to the world, “President Bush should reward Vietnam within a month for its increased cooperation in accounting for American MIAs,” Vietnam announced it had granted Colliers International, based in Boston, a contract worth millions. Designating Colliers International as the exclusive real estate agent representing Vietnam, the communist regime positioned the company to rake in tens of millions of dollars in future contracts to upgrade Vietnam’s ports, railroads and other infrastructure. C. Stewart Forbes, chief executive officer of Colliers International, is John Forbes Kerry’s cousin. - Dave Eberhart

Dems want to keep talking about Halliburton I would think someone should ask Kerry about Colliers International
