2. If people don't know the history of war
they will never understand your explanations. War is not black or white it is totally gray and blood red. Kerry was in Cambodian waters during Xmas 1968, that was his mission. The Mekong River is the border between SVN and Cambodia. I suggest that everyone on this board read Kerry's VN biography "Tour of Duty." It is a study in riverine warefare in the Mekong Delta. D ; )

4. To me, it speaks volumes...
That John MCCain was one of the first people denouncing their smears from the rooftops--and he's (ostensibly) supporting Dub this time around.

It's typical BFEE tripe--get someone else to do your dirty work (attack ads) for you...proving once again what snakes they are!:mad:

B-)

5. Also tired of it.
I just refuse to defend Kerry's Vietnam service or statements against linguistically-impaired AWOL. Whenever anyone says "Kerry is a liar!" or "Kerry wasn't in Cambodia!" I respond, "Not only was Bush not in Cambodia, he wasn't even in VIETNAM. End of argument."

8. ???
Sorry, I guess I just don't get what you're trying to say. I'm not "throwing up my hands and walking away," I'm telling * people that they don't have a leg to stand on re: Vietnam/Cambodia and they'd better start debating about something else. I say this with a pleasant smile on my face while very firmly standing my ground.
