The idea that Kerry was on a medal gathering tour for his future benefit and that he publicly ridiculed and charged his brothers in arms with war crimes (that he claims he took part in) is what scorches my butt. He has, in my eyes, admitted that he has performed illegal atrocities against an enemy in combat and now he wants to be our military’s Commander-in-Chief and the chief enforcer of our nation’s laws. Am I the only one that sees the hypocrisy of this?
Of course you're not. I could be wrong, but I think a lot of people who seem to send the message - "it's no big deal", are possibly too young to remember that era.
I was in the military all through that timeframe, and while I did not get sent to VietNam, I met a lot of guys who did. They were changed forever by the experience, and most all of them served honorably.
That was a raw time in America then. Even if you never went over there, your being in uniform brought dirty looks from some people and/or verbal scorn
from others. In a Tennessee airport, somebody spit on the floor after I had just walked by, going to board my flight.
These folks hadn't any idea where I was going, or what I was going to do; yet they somehow "knew" it wasn't good. Right!
To think that a man(?) like J.F Kerry had the foresight(again,??) to go into a Base Exchange at Cam Rahn Bay and purchase an 8mm camcorder, just to film his military exploits for future political use makes me want to
In four short months, he managed to get himself 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze and Silver Star commodations?
Sorry people, it seems just a little contrived; too neatly done, and then he comes home and reverses course??
He turns antiwar and denounces his brothers?
I don't buy it for a minute. He's a sham. A
That has always been their main complaint. Maybe you need to listen to what they say a little closer.
