I'm only 26 so it'll be rather obvious why I can't. This may be my only post in this forum, I haven't decided yet.

To the honorable Veterans:

I just want to thank you all for serving. Thank you all for putting your lives on the line for freedom. Even though others may call you names and call you liers for what you know to be true, there are many more of us who respect you and know that you all are better people than we could ever be.

May God Bless you all.

Jeremy

Jeremy, thank you.

I find it odd that we receive more respect from your generation than we ever did from our own who now wish to shove John Kerry down our throats as a "war hero."

I hope this won't be your only post. I would like to hear from more your age as to how you view Kerry and Bush. What is your take on his "hero" status after he spent more time protesting and denigrating the same war he called immoral and illegal?

Sheesh! Can't just take a compliment without milking a political opportunity?

JDMCG, you are more than welcome, we thank you as well. Your generation needs to keep our current soldiers on a pedestal so they may not endure the horror that many Veterans have for the past 30 years. Pass the word that us Veterans who served will not let the likes of Kerry destroy our newest veterans who now serve. Your head is screwed on right and your parents should be proud, it is refreshing to have patriots on this board. Keep posting we need people like you. As you have seen there are some on here that would post just to waste bandwidth. The negative posters have not served this country and are not Veterans. So just ignore them and post to us that are, we need it. This is an anti Kerry for Commander and Chief site but there are some that appear to have been sent here by the DNC to discredit the Veterans and disrupt this board. Semper Fi.

Well, I guess I could post a few more times. Laughing

Anywho, I don't have many friends that are much into politics. But my 2 other roommates seem somewhat towards conservative, but not totally. One of my roommates got back from Iraq this last February. He wasn't mad or anything about it, he seemed kinda blase about it. My other roommate and I wouldn't be able to handle being in the military, even though we support those that are.

My brother-in-law is over there now and my family is pretty supportive of him, as am I, even though I haven't sent any kind of care package yet. I'm planning on it though.

But the real reason I am supportive of the military is that my dad was in the Navy for about 25 years or so. So yeah, I was a Navy brat. Was born in Japan, lived in S. Carolina, Virginia, Iceland, & Scotland before we moved back stateside.
--------------
So now with that aside. I personally don't like Kerry at all with all these facts that I've seen of him & his TRAITOROUS acts. I would definitely be a day to hang the flag at half staff if Kerry ever get into the highest office. I'm sure I've seen it around somewhere that he used the system to get his band-aid purple hearts.

I do personally like President Bush. He is someone you can trust. He may have his faults, but he's able to laugh at himself. The Pres. able to get the best people to do the job, even though he may not totally agree with them.

I'd rather have a know 'em all instead of an elitist know-it-all. I'd rather have someone who actually cares for people. And President Bush actually respects the military. Not something you could ever find in cold heart Kerry.

Sorry about making this into a slight rant, but I think some things had to be said.

Here's another site with some political cartoons on Skerry as well: http://www.iowapresidentialwatch.com/

Have a good day now all.

Well, JD, that was a moving post. The link to the article with the photo of Bush hugging the little girl made my day. Bush is a real person and a brave man. I can't even begin to imagine what four years would be like if Kerry gets elected. It'll set our country back to the Clinton years.

If every voter could see that photo of Bush and the little girl, then his election would be a landslide to victory.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of the veterans who have served to protect our freedom. I respect you for all you haven given to your country. It was YOUR actions that ensured that the cowards and whining-appeasers at DU could have freedom. Thank you very much for your sacrifice!

The discussions at this website have spurred me to do some more investigating of my own. As I look into many of the issues, the more I find myself becoming disgusted with Kerry's actions with VVAW, following his "service", and later during his political career. This site motivated me to read "Stolen Valor" by Burkett & Whitley to learn more about Viet Nam veterans, including the Winter Soldier sham. Now I understand how Viet Nam veterans were betrayed by Kerry and his ilk. Everything that I have discovered shows that Kerry does only by what will benefit himself and cares not for what it does to others. By his own actions, I consider Kerry to be nothing but a self-centered, egotistical, pompous, traitor; who is not fit to be C-I-C.

My support for the coming election is firmly behind George W. Bush. He has proven time and again, by his convictions and actions, that he is fit to be C-I-C and president of the United States.

I considered it have been an honor to have served my country and I'd do it again in a second. It wasn't easy being a GI in the 60s and early 70s. Some of the kids I grew up with all of a sudden didn't want to know me after I enlisted (4 days after turning 17). Back then, the only kids to not have long sideburns and long hair were the GIs -- so even back home on leave you received some strange stares.

I became a man the minute I got off the bus at Basic Training. The lessons learn have helped me in the 30 years since I left the military. I feel Vets of my generation can peg another Vet of our generation pretty easily. There is something that makes us different from those our age that were not GIs.
