I was not in Vietnam. I was stationed at Walter Reed from 1972 until the end of the war. Being in the service during this time, I still resent that I could not wear my uniform in public without getting scorned and on occasion spit at.

In looking over the news articles and some of the information in Kerry's earlier book, it appears that much of the hatred that was experienced by returning Vietnam vets is a direct result of Kerry's actions and testimony to congress. It could be surmised that a significant amount of what is now the rememberd atitude of the anti-war public is from Kerry's actions

I am currently on Active duty with the U.S. Army. (Guard unit that was called up). I am pleased to see that we are working hard to defeat a person who was responsible for such a negative stigma for our countries defenders.

It appears that Kerry suffered from a guilt complex in his post Vietnam actions. Could it be that they things he attributes to others were actually his actions and he is trying to atone for his actions?

It took me a minute to understand what you ment, but I fianlly got it.
Could be, but I see him as having grandeous tendencies.

I remember when he was on Hardball once, and Chris asked him what he will do if he looses. He gave Chris this HARD stare, and said

I am going to win this thing.

Chris said well what if you don't?. Kerry said.

I am going to win this thing.

I truely felt Chris was a little stunned by his brittleness.
This guy is NEVER going to admit defeat.
Not without a straight jacket.

Unfortunatly we don't have time to convince him hes suffering from
a guilt complex, some how I doubt he would agree.
I am more inclined to feel he is in total denial, and believes
half the crap he has said. No one around him is going to cross him
I don't believe.

If someone could get him into treatment though, I am all for it.

If he would just come out with a public appology and about fifty retractions along with a 180, we could all move on.
