I thought about replying to this post, but after reading the first one, I realized it is for the exclusive use of those under 21 and with a limited ability to read, observe, discuss, apply deductive reasoning, and have limited life experiences.
What an ill-informed post - Kerry went to Vietnam and was treated like shit - my ass, kid. The whole mistreatment thing was so freaking overblown it might as well be a fairy tale.
Here's the short story and the truth: Soldiers often used San Francisco Airport as their entry point upon returning from Nam, and a very small group of hippie homeless used it to stand in groups and make smart remarks about being baby killers to these young soldiers - most of them YOUR age - who had just come back from a war they had been DRAFTED for. You would not know what a draft was, since there is now a volunteer army.
Anyway, this was covered by the press and other hippie losers did the same thing, but the effort was weak and disorganized. These scum were usually tripped out or stoned and didn't know whether to scratch their watches or wind their asses.
This was MY era, and I know what I'm talking about.
John Kerry came from wealth and privelege, and upon his return, he joined the V.V.A.W. and used that group in a cynical fashion to launch a political career. He made outrageous accusations against his own fellow vets because he knew that would put him in the public eye. Never mind that none of his accusations were proved.
This is a man who has never worked a day in his life outside elective office. He married his first wife and used her huge fortune to get himself elected, and he jumped on a dead Republican's wife after dumping his first one so that he could get hooked up with some SERIOUS money - Mrs. Kerry's first husband John Heinz was a Republican!
This election is not about who served in Vietnam. John Kerry himself in 1992 said that all discussions about who served and who did not were NO LONGER RELEVANT - this in defense of Bill Clinton. I agreed with him back then and I still take that position, but apparently it is just one more Kerry flip-flop.
So, if one is required to have served in Vietnam in order to be President, can I be a fly on the wall when Hillary Clinton is informed of this? That oughta be fun. Of course, I'm sure you will be voting for HER opponent if they happened to serve in Vietnam, right? Ladies and gentlemen, I will send a letter to John McCain right now. Talk about someone who was treated like "shit". I guess if that is the criteria, he'll win in a landslide.
