I know that it's "preaching to the choir", but it's a good, strong piece.

Quote: | He wants all the respect and honor that Vietnam Veterans have earned, but wants to suffer no accountability for his role in personally denying that same respect to his brothers in arms. There is nothing more insulting or duplicitous. |
Quote: | While Kerry has already started his hysterical attempts to silence these Vets as well, with complaints to the FEC and attacks on Sinclair Broadcast Group’s advertisers, there is no telling what lengths he will go to take away these veterans Freedom of Speech. One thing is certain, however. John Kerry is yet once again lying about and demonizing his fellow veterans for no reason other than they are getting in the way of his political ambition. |
Quote: | What do you think our Iraqi Veterans will return home to if Kerry is elected? Only the Vietnam Veterans can prevent another Vietnam. Whether you call it irony, fate, or justice, John Kerry’s political future lies in the hands of those he betrayed. |
With all due respect to you folks and your sacrifices in the past and present, the last quoted portion above is my greatest fear. I honestly believe, and history will prove it out, that this Election will be decided by Vietnam Veterans. Your service in the past protected our Nation and her beliefs. Your service today is protecting our Nation and the integrity of future Veterans that are doing the job now that you folks so valiantly did in the past.

If Kerry is elected and has his way, Iraqi veterans will return home to a country that has abandoned its role as a force for good in the world. They will have been denied the role of ending terrorism once and for all, and they will have to serve out their time in uniform watching Kerry kowtow to the corrupt UN and sweet-talk the prissy self-serving French.

And I, for one, shall be counting the numbers of innocent Iraqis who then die under the boot of Kerry's political ambitions and the crazed terrorists a Kerry win would encourage.
