Vets on C-span

[johnnie]

They are speaking out about John Kerry. Do the Vietnam vets really think that Kerry did them a disservice?
The American Govt. has officially stated that that "police action" was a huge mistake, and people still don't get it.
Is there a Vietnam vets for Kerry?

1. There is a Veterans for Kerry

many (probably most) of us are Vietnam Vets. But we haven't divided this way.

[johnnie]

2. First off, thank you for your service

Secondly, do you find that most of you back Kerry? Or does it seem to be the other way?

10. My hubby is a Vietnam vet and he is voting for Kerry.

He doesn't understand all the divisiveness. He said they have a right to their opinion but doesn't understand how another veteran could oppose another veteran. He says everything Kerry said when he returned from the war was true. I've been married 20 years to this man and he's been saying what Kerry said for years. It really has my huisband perplexed and saddened.

3. They "get it"

They're just liars. Oh, and they're all fat too.

4. I'm recruiting for Vets for Kerry

and the enthusiasm is quite real. A couple of wingers just won't face facts. One guy told me that he hated Kerry cause he is making a big thing about his purple heart. Well Duh it wasn't Kerry that made a big thing about his purple heart. But I didn't waste time trying to convince him. I'm amazed though at the number of Vets who aren't registered voters. Really makes me angry.

5. Oh, great

Bailey just introduced Ted Sampley. I should have known that he had his claw in this somehow. Ted Sampley is the 'father' of the McCain, Cleland and numerous other smear campaigns.

7. This series won a pulitzer prize

11. Great article

How come this isn't mainstream? There has been so much talk of Kerry's post Veitnam actions, this should be out there for everyone to see.

[Snotcicles]

12. I don't know it

I sure hope they come forward to help Kerry get to the truth.

8. This crap has been on for hours

now. The usual suspects are behind this new group of disgruntled pukes. Why CSPAN gave them this much time is a good question.

Here's the link to an earlier DU discussion. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=latest_threads&page=4

15. At the very end of their circle jerk they brought out the one and only

Ted Sampley. Some vet stood in front of the cspan camera so he couldnt be seen but he was indeed there and i heard him.

[ThomWV]

16. I Am A Vet '67-'68-'69-'70, And I'm Voting For Kerry

It is unimmaginable to me that any vet could vote for Bush, simply unimmaginable.

[benddem]

18. I agree

but some people are morons

[JimmyHoffa]

17. The argument apparently

is that they don't like the whole Senate hearing thing. Thats what I gather.

19. The guy chairing this conference was on Washington Journal this AM.

He's good! He did a very good battle on WJ.

20. Felix Rodriguez...aka...Frank Sturgis = Cia

I just saw part of this rally against Kerry and one speaker was Felix Rodriguez. Everyone google this name or Frank Sturgis and see just who this guy is.

if anyone can find the rally link on c-span please post.

21. My dad is a Vietnam vet

A career military officer...he's voting for Kerry. My uncle, also a 30 year man, is voting for Kerry. My cousin who was a grunt in Vietnam is voting for Kerry.

I'm amazed by the vets against Kerry. We lost 50,000 men over there. Do they think we should have lost 50,000 more?
