Kerry indicates that "free fire zones" allowed the intentional killing
of women and children. Bull****.

Perhaps they exaggerated based on an emotionally charged climate. And, I
used the word traitor because I believe it was pivotal earlier in this
thread. But, let's replace that with "despicable", so you can answer the
3
questions I posed for you. Whether someone's running for president is
irrelevant. Unless you subscribe to the deity mentality, they are people
who
are equal to you and I.


Not sure I understand the question. Who exaggerated? I have no label
for Kissinger, none for the thousands of other disgusted (and a few
disgusting-) vets, and none for the parents with radicalized
viewpoints. My mother had three of her sons over their. She absolutely
detested Clinton.

If Kerry were not running for President, he wouldn't be the topic of
this exchange. Therefore, his running is relevant. If Edwards were the
nominee, we sure wouldn't be on this subject!

Subtract "running for office", and you're talking about nothing but
bare-bones ideology. Do you find Kerry despicable because he was seen in the
same city as a N. Vietnamese flag, and perhaps even touched one? Plenty of
returning soldiers and their families protested the war in shocking ways.
According to my information, two things are true:

1) The domino theory was nonsense invented by a small handful of suits, like
McCarthy, and the war we fought based on the theory turned out to be a total
waste of lives and resources.

2) In order to run for president, you only need to meet certain age &
citizenship requirements. You do NOT have to keep your mouth shut when you
see your country behaving irresponsibly.
