When I asked Kerry how it was in Nam for him he told me "Like Apocalypse Now" without Marlon Brando." He was dead serious. He wasn't bragging. He didn't even want to talk about it. The rightwing lies about Kerry so much, trying to portray him as some phony hero or boaster. I've been told Kerry hardly spoke of his war experiences for 20 some years, and hardly ever mentioned them to his family. That is typical. Killing people in a nightmarish jungle is not something you brag about, especially if you don't even know if half the people you killed were enemy combatants. A 50 mm machine-gun rips a person apart. It's not a pretty soight. No one celebrates. No one brags unless they're an A-hole. And yet, no matter what, we must hoinor our heros, especially those who volunteer and could have avoided it, like the cowardly hypocrites in the White House. Not a single rightwing leader has ever served in combat yet they have the nerve to attack our war heros over and over again with malicious slander. Not just Kerry but others too.

Good to see you have a realistic view: >> don't have alot of patience with people who question war atrocities because I have heard so many outrageous stories myself and flatly do not support war because of it.<< Problem is that we can't afford the luxury of opposing war because someone might lose their temper during the process. What are your plans to deal with the terrorists? Should we put them on notice that we've decided to abandon all military action against them on principle? That should work. 9/11 was not a Hollywood production....there are Islamic radicals who plan to kill Americans. They are ruthless....we need to be even more determined to protect our country & it's citizens. Otherwise, we might as well go shopping for one of those lovely head to toe outfits (burqa?).
