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?

OK. Now, how does that put Kerry in the same category?

If there were 5 people sitting between Kerry and Fonda, would you feel the
same way? Would the picture have the same meaning?

That picture was just an example. My opinions of Kerry are just that - my
opinions. I wish the Democrats had nominated someone else. They could have
gotten my vote. But they didn't. So, they didn't.

Now go make a donation and put me in the poor house. I'll match it, as per
my previous post. (in other words, I'll only match up to $3676!)

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.

As a matter of fact, I've been accused of like things right here on the

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.

Nope, Combat Engineer. The only time I handed out stuff was on a MEDCAP
(medical civic action patrol) or DENTCAP. Then it was either medical or
dental supplies.
