notice how many in the media say we should just let the whole subject of VN die because it's too painful to reopen and might tear the country apart?

maybe a good old fashioned fight is just what the country needs. the anti-war group hints that they might be sorry for some of the things that were said, but for the majority of veterans, that does nothing to restore the honor and dignity they were robbed of and have been living with the pain and shame ever since. maybe it's time to clear the air.

Bring it on.

Oh, America needs the fight, and has needed it for a long time. I say we keep fighting till the vets are satisfied the record has been set straight. Don't know how long that will take, I don't care.

Its about a lot more than this election. Get over it MSM, your'e irrelevant.

I doubt he had one, if so, please advise if they observed a back bone?

Oh, Botox John would just luuuv for the Swift Vets and their supporters to go away but he and he alone brought the Vietnam War back into our consciousness, and he will have to answer for his shady past.

And the media wants us to just let it fade into history?? Screw the MSM...they never took this issue seriously and now that their fair haired boy is catching Hell, they want it all to just quietly fade away. Sorry, suckers, even if President Bush and John McCain ride sidesaddle together to fight the 527 battle, the veterans will continue to expose Kerry until Hell freezes over if need be.

I agree, lets clear the air. It is about time. Reopen old wounds. Sure there are wounds that are there from any war but we all know about the wounds we are referring to here. SHAME is a wound I think should be open, bled and discarded. there should have been no shame in the first place as i have found that there was no shame from these brave men.

I believe these wounds never closed and they need to be. I'm usually in favor of "live and let live" and "let a sleeping dog lie," etc. However, in this case, the country's honor was tarnished by Flipper John and his cheesy punk friends. It needs to be polished up a bit and perhaps, the VVAW might be useful. However, in so doing, stay focused on the enemy which is not the VVAW this time. It's Flipper John.

I've been noticing that too. How odd (not), since Kerry and the media were the ones who started it. Would they all want to drop it if Kerry was gaining in the polls? Don't think so.

These wounds need to be opened to clean the pus out!

I agree marinebrat. A good airing always helps a wound.
