Our claim of a cover-up was strongly supported when Swift Boat Veterans for Truth announced that 220 out of 229 Swift Boat Vietnam veterans had signed an open letter to Kerry challenging his fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief. NBC, ABC, and the Associated Press all covered this up, not realizing that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Dan Rather mentioned it briefly, showing that it was a national story, but dismissed it as "allied with the Bush campaign."
A new poll by Rasmusssen Reports shows that Bush holds a 23% lead among all veterans, but that those with no military service favor Kerry by 10%. This is alarming because it means that those with experience about war would prefer Bush as Commander-in-Chief, while those with no experience, unfortunately a much larger number, believe Kerry would be best. Because the media is covering up this issue, this larger group could make Kerry, the less able of the two men , Commander-in-Chief, placing the country in much greater danger than it would be under Bush. This underlines the importance of the media reporting on our findings, which are just as valid as the better known polls, or, looking into this matter for themselves and reporting on it.

What is the reason vets reject Kerry ?

As to why Vietnam vets are against Kerry, we don't have to guess, we have it straight from Vietnam Veterans for the Truth, who sponsored a protest in Washington D.C. on Sept. 12 with the slogan "Kerry Lied...While Good men Died."
"Contrary to most media reports, Vietnam veterans are overwhelmingly opposed to Kerry. He lied to the American people and the U.S. Senate when he told our mothers and fathers, our wives and our children that we had raped, tortured, murdered, and ravaged the countryside in Vietnam. Kerry is not the centrist, moderate, strong-on-defense candidate he represents himself to be and voters need to know these facts. The fine young men and women who fought in Vietnam came home to insults instead of parades, because the nation listened to Kerrys lies, when they should have welcomed them home with gratitude."
Vets seem to sense that Kerry has no understanding of a new type of enemy, nor any idea of how to handle such an enemy. His lifelong history of preference for negotiation, dialogue, compromise, even appeasement, the typical tools of a liberal 20th century diplomat dealing with reasonably civilized nations would prove utterly useless in light of 9/11 and an enemy that has repeatedly said: (Osama bin Laden)

"We will offer no chance for America to come to an agreement with the righteous warriors, no possibility for compromise, no hope for a treaty, no attempt for solutions. The war will be waged until the United States remains a memory."

The psychology by which the media cannot allow the public to find out that the majority of Vietnam veterans oppose one of their own is elementalry. Most Vietnam veterans agree they fought in a just war to stop Communist aggression from North Vietnam. But the media, the university ,and John Kerry tried to tell the nation that Communism was nothing to fear, and that what we were doing was an "immoral" war against "freedom fighters" (Viet Cong) trying to reunify their country. These elements are apparently willing to risk the nation rather than finally admit that they were wrong. Once again, as happened in the case of the Tet Offensive, the media is robbing the American people of the ability to make critical judgements about their most vital security interests in a time of war.

The defeat of Kerry in the polls will be, not only a vote of no confidence in him as Commander-in-Chief, but because he chose to revive the whole issue of the Vietnam War, a final repudiation by the American people of the leftist version of the Vietnam War which Kerry espoused and which became institutionalized in our universities, in our history books and courses, in the media - the lies of the campus protestors, like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Jane Fonda, Dave Dellinger, added to by John Kerry that were the reason for the disgraceful attack on the veterans of that war when they returned home. Attacks whose real purpose was to cover up the fact that in the end, the war protestors were on the side of tyranny and genocide, having betrayed a fight for freedom.
Here is the chance for veterans to get rid of a big one and straighten out the record. One who lied about their service to their country. Not to mention the fact that Kerry has no record on national defense, doesn't seem to understand the enemy, and has no plan for dealing with the terrorists. Like the Swift Boat Vets say, "Unfit for Command."
