- It seems like Kerry wants to talk of nothing but Vietnam - it bolsters his anti-terrorism credentials.
- Bush's biggest weakness regarding the war on terror is his dubious lack of Vietnam experience.
- After reviewing the SBVfT's arguments, it looks like Kerry might be guilty of exagerating his injuries, but overall, his record looks fairly impressive to me (sorry - maybe I'm just a dumb civi, but so is 99% of the American electorate).

It seems to me that the best strategy is to not make Vietnam an issue. Or if it is to be made into an issue, attack Kerry's post Vietnam lefty protest shinanigans.

Better still, why not attack Kerry's liberal Senate record?

Nice try Yank... but your argument doesn't float. Fact is the Kerry campaign is falling apart at the seams over this. His own homies are after him i.e. Washington Post, Boston Globe.

Sorry Charlie... you lose. Laughing

My reaction:

We are not here to elect George Bush. We are not here to elect a republican. We are not here to form a strategy to do any of these things.

We are here to correct the record distorted by Kerry about his own history, and more importantly, the veterans that he served with.

We are here to spread the truth to as many people as we can.

What happens after that is not up to us. After that, let the chips fall where they may. America will get the president it votes for.

The Kerry campaign will figure this out eventually.

Admin note:

Mind if I steal this?

Well said.

Actually this is a duplicate thread. YankeeMark, assuming you're sincere, and even if you're not, check out the discussion here:

The problem that Kerry has does not stop with his dubious Vietnam service. It extends to his dis-service to his country after the war. He will get hammered more on this.

Arm in arm with Hanoi Jane aint gonna fly! Being in the Communist Hall of Fame in Siagon City isnt exactly something he wants out on the street.

Consorting with the enemy in time of war is a serious charge. Especially someone who was still in the Naval reserve!

His 'impressive' military record IS impressive at first glance. Looking into the FULL record is what is needed. But, because there seems to be alot of rather damaging information in his fulll and unsanitized record, he wont sign Standard Form 180 and let the American people decide for themselves.

I for one am sick and tired of all the 'he said he said' about his war record. Would YOU write to all you can and demand that Kerry sign SF-180 so we can get on with the problems that face this country?

This is your country Yankee, isnt it time YOU got the full, unedited story so YOU can make an informed decision?

If the Swiftvets are lying the record will reflect that. If Kerry is lying, likewise.

Its up to Senator Kerry.

My suspections are Kerry is hiding from something really really nasty.

Who would you choose to lead the country in a all out war which was forced upon us by our adversary? 1. A LT Junior Grade with four months experience 35 years ago "fighting" in Vietnam; or 2. A Comander-in-Chief with four years of experience as Commander-in-Chief fighting the current war.

The Navy may have been different, but when I was flying combat in Vietnam 34 years age, the only thing we let the LT do for the first three months in country as a FNG was wipe their own ***.

I don't think YankeeMark is a Troll. Like he said "(sorry - maybe I'm just a dumb civi, but so is 99% of the American electorate). " I told my sister, she lives in Connecticut, about this site and she sent me back an email about how much she hates Bush. I spent an hour typing up a response on how much I hate Kerry and told her I'm not asking for her to vote for Bush, just not for Kerry. I think it worked. We need to educate the masses.
With so few of the people in this country not having to serve, it doesn't suprise me that some people just don't understand what Kerry did.
