The war ended for America in 1973 as has already been proven to you. But true to form you don't let facts get in the way of your arguments. By the way your statement was of American troops continuing to be killed until 1976 which of course is bullshit as was proven. 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. The bullshit alarm is ringing off the wall at this point on this issue so you may want to hop onto something else.

Hey, genius, did you read what you posted? the era of direct U.S. involvement (1961–72) The US was not involved in warfare in Vietnam after January 27, 1973, when we signed a truce with North Vietnam. As for your claim that "Many-many Americans died after 1972 when Kerry and thousands of other vets were trying to bring their brothers home"... 1) you are a liar for knowingly repeating a proven falsehood, and 2) "their brothers" were already home.

I must say that that post proves your IQ is not as touted or that, if you are really college educated, you nevertheless have some latent reading disability. I only say that because I do not appreciate mindless spinmeisters telling me that I do not know what I'm talking about, when if fact, they (in this case you) are the one in error. btw, I tend to be moderate in my overall political outlook, but it is people of your ilk that cause me to run shrieking from those on the far left. The irrational types on the far right affect me similarly. If you have a legitimate argument to make, make it based on reality. I've yet to see you do that.
