3. I would really like to know how telling the truth is betraying veterans.
I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW!

Can you say Mai Li (sp?) It is fucking documented that there were atrocities committed in Vietnam! G-D revisionist historians!

4. If they're denying
that war crimes and atrocities occurred in Vietnam that is incredibly foolish. They make it sound like he hurt them on purpose. They need to get over it.

5. Is that all they got?
For starters they don't even point out how Kerry said this based on the testimony according to Kerry, from 150 honorably discharged vets.

This is the section they leave out.


I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command....


They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

You know the rest.

Being that they were POW's I find it incredible that they do not acknowledge the fact that while their good Repuke friends left them out there to die, Kerry was working tirelessly to find them and get them home.

working with John McCain in the search for the truth about Vietnam veterans declared POW/MIA; and insisting on accountability, investment, and excellence in public education," it states. <1>

How exactly does pointing out the sick behavior of draftees that shouldn't have even been in Vietnam when they cut and raped women and brutalized innocent villagers constitute "helping the enemy?"

Yea those sick individuals that performed those acts did the Viet Cong's job for them.

6. I think it is well documented that US troops were in fact doing
those things. So what's their point?

"Yeah I did it, but He (Kerry) told on me! Whaaaaaaaaaa!"
