Kerry's Krazy Klaims About Vietnam Vets Bruce A. Seibert March 2, 2004 To my fellow Americans: February 24th, was the thirty-fifth anniversary of my arrival, at the age of 19, in what was the free Republic of Vietnam. I was stationed at Can Tho Army Airfield in the Mekong Delta from February '69 to February '70. The first two months I was there overlapped with Monsieur Kerry's last two months "in country". During those two months he had to have motored his Swiftboat right past our base many times. In the year I was there, I learned how to be an unofficial "ambassador" soldier in my off duty time. Contrary to the horrendous and utterly false picture eminating from the imagination of Swiftboat Commander Kerry about we soldiers who lived among the people, we were not feared by that country's citizens with whom I became acquainted. On the contrary, I made many close Vietnamese friends who welcomed me into their homes and businesses as a friend. I had a girlfriend, Lan Nuyen, in the village of Bien Xe Moi, whose sister had married a GI and was living in Watertown, Massachusetts -- ten miles from where I grew up in Wakefield. I visited her when I returned home before losing track of them both in 1971. Ask any Vietnam refugee, "Who was the aggressor in that war?" Ask why they chose to come here to America. Was it because we were so brutal and cruel to them, or because they knew us Americans to be kind, generous, and willing to fight for THEIR freedom. It was the Kerry hearings which gave the American soldier in Vietnam a false and disgraced reputation. His word is not to be believed. He can not deny that his public professions hurt our efforts to end the war with a positive result, otherwise known as victory. Neither can he deny the smearing of my reputation as a patriotic American, along with my brothers, who sacrificed blood, sweat and tears in an effort to hold back the tide of totalitarianism and its slaughter of innocents for the Communist ideal. I am proud to be a Vietnam Veteran. I am ashamed that the actions of one of our own did so much damage to our cause, which was to secure the liberty of a people in a small far away land, which we abandoned to the enemy in part because of John Kerry's political ambitions and lies. Yours in truth, Specialist E5 Bruce A. Seibert U.S. Army, 244th Airplane Surveillance Company 1st Aviation Brigade / IV Corps RVN '69-'70

I dont recall Rummy saying anything other then a democracy. Everyone has always known any Muslim country HAS to have a govt based upon Islamic LAW, thats part of their religion. You seem to feel because the terrorists are Muslim that Islamic law cannot be Democratic just as Judeo/Christian can have Democracy. We SHOULD be very proud of what has been accomplished their, why do you wish to tear it down, are you POLITICIZING the freeing of 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shame on you. jdn
