Strange, eh Chuck?

Just curious, if Kerry wasn't involved with Vietnam Veterans Against the
War, do you think the 250 would be singing the same tune?


The problem with these anti-Kerry vets is that they think they were
engaged in some sort of useful crusade in Vietnam whereas in fact they
simply were pawns in a game. They gave up years of their lives and, in
some cases, limbs, their health, their futures, and their lives, in a
trumped-up, bull**** war that had nothing to do with American security
and, in fact, did little more than prop up a series of right-wing
dictators in south Vietnam. They were used. The ones who are so
anti-Kerry now have never come to terms with that reality, and they are
sour, bitter, aging men. The problem is, they've never realized they're
still fighting the wrong enemy.
