... That "met with the enemy" idea is kinda weird, John. The North Vietnamese weren't our enemy until a bunch of suits (who you'd probably have very little respect for, and who quietly vanished from public life) came up with the domino theory. If I move next store to you, and stop by & say "Hi. You're my enemy, although I know you've done absolutely nothing to me", you'd think I was out of my mind. But, that's exactly what we did in VN. I've said nothing about agreeing or disagreeing with the VN war. John H Well, you said you consider Kerry & Fonda to be in the same category. The standard reason we hear is that Fonda met with the enemy. Is that correct? Perhaps 'pretended to shoot down American aircraft' would be more appropriate than 'met'. John H I hadn't heard THAT one. Where'd that come from? |

Well, if his presence in the crowd means he's guilty of the same things as Jane, then by your logic, you are as guilty as William Calley and his men, since you were in the same country. You may have even supplied them, which, in the eyes of the law HERE would mean conspiracy. |

Well, what is the "Guilty Just Like Jane" minimum distance? Is it 2 rows away? Or, 20 feet, or WHAT? What if, instead of Kerry being right behind her, it was just some walkin' around slob like the rest of us, who never became famous? Would that person be as guilty as Jane? Supplied who with what? For some reason, I had the idea you were connected with supplies in VN. Handing out stuff. |
