Kerry was trying to save lives of troops stuck in Nam after the war was essentially lost and a deadend. Every man who died after 1972 (more than 10,000?) could have been saved if Kerry and his fellow Vets Against the War had gotten through to Nixon. Nixon promised a "secret plan" to end the war to win in 1972 but it was all a big lie to swipe the election. The war kept going until 1976 and thousands of extra Americans died as a result, and for no cause, strategy or reason. Sicne Kerry lost some of his best frinds in the war, including his best friend and was almost killed himself (wounded three times) he knew first-hand not only the dangers but after The Pentagon papers came out, the fact that the White House (Nixon's and Johnson's) were lying through their teeth to the country in order to promote a war with no rational reason behind it, no real plan and no end in sight. The real creeps are the right-wing vets who attack Kerry as if staying in Vietnam forever and losing tens of thousands more lives was a good idea. Now Vietnam is communist and they haven't done one thing to damage our national interests. Communism is not good but the governments in neighboring countries aren't that great either. So the whole war was a big waste based on faulty hard-liner logic. SImilar perhaps to Bushie Iraq.
