Revisionist history and inaccurate generalizations. There was not one kind of war protester, there were many. They ranged from Yippies all the way to conservatives. From priests to vets. Kerry was somewhere in the middle leading the vets, and you have no right as an American to disparage those vets. They paid the price for the mistake called Vietnam.

Kerry was not a radical. He worked inside the system. He never advocated revolution, violence, appeasing the enemy or anything like that. On the contrary. That's why it's ridiculous to link him to Jane Fonda.

Kerry killed enemy and saved lives. Some say his vets against the war were the deciding factor in ending that war. The ending of the war was messy but saved thousands of ives. And what choice was there? To continue?

Go back and study your history. Also read The Pentagon Papers. Defending that war is just plain wrong. It was based on the grossest lies starting with the Gulf Of Tonki incident (which never happened). It was all a big mistake. McNamara himself admits it now.
