Twfowler, repeating the dogma that "Kerry lied about the war," doesn't make it true.

Sure repeating it doesn't make it true, but it is.

As for Vietnam not being a hell hole, maybe it isn't now but in many ways it was after the war, and I'm not talking about the fact that it needed to recover from a lot of damage the war had caused but the continuing damage inflected by the communist government, not to mention the damage done by the communists in Laos and esp. Cambodia.

As for the damage of the war itself yes it was extensive but if the Communists didn't want it to happen perhaps they shouldn't have engaged in a war of agression against the South.
