I thought the author hit the cord with this:
The Communist world understood clearly then what John Kerry even today tries to deny. The anti-war movement typified by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War was not simply a protest movement making a statement that the war in Vietnam was being wrongly waged in the sense that another military strategy might be more successful. No, the VVAW at its core was avowedly anti-American, willing to propagate lies about “war crimes” allegedly committed by American soldiers on a daily basis. The goal of the VVAW's highly publicized demonstrations in Washington, D.C. during April 1971 was to convey one simple message – the United States had lost its moral way in opposing North Vietnam and the Vietcong. As spokesman for the VVAW, John Kerry was happy to trumpet the exact theme the Communist world wanted broadcast. |

Only Communists and Kerry supporters could be proud of what he did. Thankfully, I was overseas in Germany for most of his antics back then and missed the reports. Morale was bad enough without having a daily dose of John "F"in Kerry dragging us down even more.
And again, I'll ask, how does a person declare himself a "hero" of something he himself said was wrong, criminal, immoral and illegal?
Must have been great to put yourself in for medals to later throw away and today, hang on your walls to show with "pride." I'd have to say he not only abandoned his crew in Vietnam, he also abandoned those he aligned himself with during his anti-war criticisms. Loyalty is a concept totally foreign to him. |
