From "New Soldier" by John Kerry:

"And so a New Soldier has returned to America, to a nation torn apart by the killing we were asked to do. But, unlike veterans of other wars and some of this one, the New Soldier does not accept the old myths. We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States. We will not accept the rhetoric.

We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars—in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. "

Hey - I want to thank those VFW folks who were shouting during JK's speech -- and those that stood with their backs to him! You might not have been many - but it was moving nonetheless -- and I am not a vet, but please, I'd like to salute you. Thanks for not giving him a free pass.

There are apparently 15,000 VFW members and their family members at this convention, but only 8,000 showed up to hear Kerry's speech, if I've got the numbers right?

Oklahoma's delegation - was it the only one who boycotted the speech?

I wonder how many more vets turned their backs and DIDN'T get photographed?

Do you think Kerry's upcoming speech at the American Legion will go better or worse?

It's worth actually duplicating here since I don't see it much in the MSM:

Considering that the VFW is populated mostly by Viet Nam era vets, and considering his treasonous anti-war activities, and that his testimony before congress accused these vets of atrocities such as baby killing in Nam, it is astonishing that they would allow Kerry to speak before them.

What it says to me is that the leadership of the VFW are suckups and media hounds, flattered by the propisition that they would be arrayed behind Kerry as he spoke on national TV. Bunch of f@#$ing a$$holes!
