Sprite, your hero John Kerry betrayed his shipmates in Vietnam POW camps. I'm watching them at this moment testifying to the effects of his betrayal on them when they were tied up in the Hanoi Hilton. They have no reason to lie. They endured, and they survived. They deserve peace in our time, but they have to tell the truth about what happened to them and why. John Kerry's false accusations were used by their captors to justify unspeakable torture. Because of what John Kerry said, the North Vietnamese were encouraged to tie those men behind their backs so that their elbows crossed. Some of them had their arms tied back and their legs tied up to their necks behind their backs. They endured the most severe torture that you could imagine. Their captors used the words of John Kerry to justify their torture and mentally abuse the POWs. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden came to that camp declaring that our men there were war criminals and deserved the torture that they got. Your friend Kerry consorted with these two traitors and participated with them in their treasonous activities. Nothing that you can say will justify John Kerry's behavior after the war, and nothing that he did while in Vietnam is enough to forgive him for this betrayal of his comrades. Sprite, you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this man. He does not deserve to aspire to the Presidency. If you believe he has done admirable things, consider that he has done despicable things, horrible things against his comrades for which there is no excuse. Kerry's shameful behavior is unforgivable because it caused the prolonged torture of helpless POWs. They knew who he was because their captors rubbed their faces in his words. Even the Nazis, whom you fraudulently compare to organizations that I know for a fact to be honorable and dedicated, did not torture their prisoners in the fashion encouraged by John Kerry's behavior after he left Vietnam. My father-in-law was a POW in Stalag Luft 3 for two years. He didn't eat well, but none of the prisoners there were tortured. Of course if somebody had come on the radio then like your friend John Kerry did, telling the world that those men in Stalag 3 were war criminals, maybe the Nazis would not have been so kind. I can assure you that John Kerry would have suffered dire consequences for such testimony if he had been talking to Congress in 1942 instead of 1972. He'd have been put in the slammer so fast your head would spin. If that's all that happened to him, he could have considered himself lucky. You really should reconsider your support of John Kerry. He does not deserve it. Yes, I am pissed. I can hardly believe that I have to stand up against people like John Kerry in my own little way here on the internet. I just hope that most people are not as gullible as you.
