I think that Kerry negotiating with the North in Paris while still an officer in the reserves is huge if anyone ever really gets going with it. It's obvious that these medals have some real issues with them and yet the mainstream press does nothing. Who was that General that shot himself after Newsweek went to town on him and decided he was wearing some combat ribbon he didn't deserve? As it turns out later he did actually have the right to wear it if my memory is correct but they went after him with half of their staff. This V is so obvious that it shouldn't take but one reporter a minimum amount of time to prove or disprove it yet they won't even look at it. How much time did they spend on the Bush AWOL thing and not one minute on this. No bias. None at all.

SLANDER! Kerry's actions in 1971 helped us save thousands of US lives by forcing Nixon off his hardline position to continue fighting that hopeless meatgrinder of a war. By 1971 it was hopeless. It was a total quagmire. Brave men who told the truth like Kerry did got Nixon to promise in 1972 that he would indeed end the war, though he took his sweet time about it, letting thousands more die before he got out "with dignity". The Vietnam War was one of the worst mistakes we've ever made as a nation. Don't blame Kerry. He was a hero on the battlefield and a hero back home. You should also see "the Fog Of War" if you want the real skinny on what Nixon and McNamara were thinking. It was all a big lie to the American people plus tons of overkill against a third world enemy we usually couldn't even find.
