Swift boat Liars for Bush are so far out of touch with reality…

[Webster Green]

These are the asshole variety of Vietnam veteran who still call the Vietnamese people “gooks”. They think the war could have been won if they just had a little more firepower and agent orange.

Even the hawkish Secretary of Defense (1961-1968) Robert Mcnamara concedes that the war was mistake. The Pentagon Papers proved that the escalation of the war was based on a pack of lies (The Tonkin Gulf Incident).

There were lots of atrocities committed by our troops, just as there are in Iraq today. Kerry’s testimony regarding the atrocities and his repudiation of them are to be commended, not condemned.

These guys are making shit up to discredit Kerry because they are so stupid that they think the war on the Vietnamese People was waged for reasons that were justified. They hate Kerry because he spoke out against the war.

I have a hell of a lot more respect for Vietnam Veterans Against the War than I do for The Swiftboat Assholes for Bush.

1. True, and they want a scapegoat for the anti-military sentiment they faced

when they returned. Rather than blame Nixon and the war itself, and set straight the difference between the war and the warriors, they blame Kerry and VVAW for it.

Kerry never set out to trash his fellow veterans, but rather to stand up for them. He was protesting the government. But they needed an enemy, and decided he was it -- easier than blaming the government and admitting the war was a mistake in the first place.
