SLANDER! Kerry's actions in 1971 helped us save thousands of US lives by forcing Nixon off his hardline position to continue fighting that hopeless meatgrinder of a war. By 1971 it was hopeless. It was a total quagmire. Brave men who told the truth like Kerry did got Nixon to promise in 1972 that he would indeed end the war, though he took his sweet time about it, letting thousands more die before he got out "with dignity". The Vietnam War was one of the worst mistakes we've ever made as a nation. Don't blame Kerry. He was a hero on the battlefield and a hero back home. You should also see "the Fog Of War" if you want the real skinny on what Nixon and McNamara were thinking. It was all a big lie to the American people plus tons of overkill against a third world enemy we usually couldn't even find.
