\_ The man's a hero and former POW. Many heroes and POWs thought
the antiwar movement was a betrayal of the troops. Many heroes
and former POWs also joined the antiwar movement. The real
villains in all of this were the ones who stood silent.
\_ Yeah many heroes threw their medals back and testified
before Congress about fake atrocities, and met with the enemy
while under service. Yeah, many former heroes also have their
picture of the meeting with the enemy hanging in the enemy's
museum dedicated to the defeat of America.
\_ See, now you're just lying. He was testifying about the
problems in Vietnam, of which war crimes were certainly a
a part. Do you feel that any enemy contact-- say, to
end the war diplomatically-- is also treason? The Vietnam
war was a disaster, and while the treatment of vets was
atrocious, it doesn't make Kerry's contribution to its halt
any less honorable.
\_ I guess you never served. I guess you are not clear about
the military obeys orders and does NOT dictate policy.
Esp. diplomacy.
\_ Kerry wasn't "the military" in that context, and wasn't
"dictating" policy. I guess you're stupid.
\_ He was in the military and talking to the enemy
that in itself is a violation of the UCMJ.
\_ What, and you did? Look, if you're a soldier who
feels betrayed by what Kerry did after he got back
from the war, say so. Stop all this proxy baiting.
\_ Yay! A Partisan tool!
\_ No, a son of a Vietnam Vet.
\_ Yay! Also a partisan tool! |
