Sorry, themax, Kerry is not a traitor, he fought, he got rewarded, and rightfully so. What SL is saying about the prezzz NOT getting any medals and the reasons why is true.
Do I like Kerry? NO... Do I think he said some of the wrong things? YES. Do I understand WHAT he was saying and WHY??? Yes, as a matter of fact I do, and I think most all of Americans understood what he was saying.
I think Kerry loves the Troops as much as any of us do, but he was making the points that NO WHERE in our Congressionall Halls, or Senate, or any Big Wheel can we find THEIR kids fighting in Iraq...
Kerry said it wrong, but for goodness sake...Let us get the Bushism's Book out and compare the hundreds/thousands he has said since 2000.... LOL!!! No comparisons!!!
Kerry is a traitor, plan and simple. Many of the men that he "fought" with came out against him during the election exposing him for the fraud that he is. He met with America's enemy in France in '72. He does not love the troops, he has no respect for them at all.
In 1971 Kerry testified before the Senate about supposed incidents that happened in Vietnam, none of which were proven. These are the same kind of things he told the North Vietnamese. See for yourself how Kerry really feels about the troops and our country.
"I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...."
"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."
"We are also here to ask, and we are here to ask vehemently, where are the leaders of our country? Where is the leadership? We are here to ask where are McNamara, Rostow, Bundy, Gilpatric, and so many others. Where are they now that we, the men whom they sent off to war, have returned? These are commanders who have deserted their troops, and there is no more serious crime in the law of war. The Army says they never leave their wounded. The Marines say they never leave even their dead. These men have left all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude. They have left the real stuff of their reputations bleaching begin them in the sun in this country...."
He is a traitor who not only deserves no respect, he deserves to be tried as such.
