To swiftboat liars: View these names and hide your face in shame!
These are the names of men who died on this day in Vietnam. If you click on each of the men's buttons you can see what date they started their tour, and when they were killed. Many were there for a matter of days.

Please, remember these folks. It won't take too much of your time. If you can navigate this page with one hand, make sure to have the middle finger of your other hand fully extended to one of these bullshit swiftboat liars.

2. I can't do that. Some of those guys might have served less than 4 month
before they were killed. Besides that, it is more honorable to have evaded the draft by joining the National Guard and to have spent some of the time simply AWOL. It is a disgrace that some people just didn't have the guts to have requested not to be sent overseas and to stay at home instead of getting themselves killed. People like Bush are my real heroes: He was fighting to stay here at home instead of risking getting killed for some other poor American fool who volunteered to go to Vietnam or some stupid Government who just wanted to go to war.

The SwiftVets against Kerry say that those soldiers received medals for no reason, simply by lying. We have to fix the system and investigate all files of soldiers who received medals. They and their surviving family members must give them back if they didn't really deserve them. This is a disgrace to every honest American draft evader.

3. pretty ironic
that the swiftvets think it's important that THEIR medals are listed below their names in the commercial.

"Our medals are real, your's are bullshit!"

4. I agree. Those SwiftVets are dishonoring all veterans who gave the
ultimate sacrifice.

I guess their hate for Kerry and his anti-war stance after having fought this horrible war is greater than their respect for their fellow veterans.

Your statement pretty much says it "Our medals are real, your's are bullshit"
