It's a measure of your impending dementia that you actually expect reasonable people to take your word over the testimonies of 13 actual POWs who you think may have actually earned the right to speak their minds without being branded as liars by the most effeminate of men and the most masculine of women. LOL! Retired Captain James H. Warner -- a Marine who was held in North Vietnam for five years, five months -- is a recipient of the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, 11 Air Medals and the Navy Commendation Medal.[1] Warner gives some of the most powerful testimony of how John Kerry’s words were used against POWs in “Stolen Honor:” Shortly thereafter he showed me some statements from John Kerry. He said that John Kerry had helped organize the Winter Soldier hearings because he was so motivated because he had been an American officer, served in the U.S. Navy. And then he started reading some of the statements that John Kerry had made. I’m sorry I can’t quote them, but essentially he accused all of us in Vietnam of being criminals, that everything we had done was criminal. The North Vietnamese had told us from the time that we got their hands on us that we were criminals, that we were not covered by the Geneva Convention, so It was okay for them to do whatever they wanted to do to us. And they told us that they were going to put us on trial and some of us would be executed. One of the things I remember being told that Kerry had said was that he demanded an immediate unilateral withdrawl of U.S. troops from Vietnam. Well, the only reason they were keeping us alive at all was to use as a bargaining chip to get U.S. troops out of Vietnam. It looked as though there’s rising pressure in the States for this [and] if the government gave in to that pressure and unilaterally withdrew the troops, what would be the purpose in keeping us alive? They would have executed us. The interrogator went through all of these statements from John Kerry. He starts pounding on the table see, “Here, this naval officer, he admits that you are a criminal, and you deserve punishment”...I dind’t know what was going to come next. And for the rest of the time that we were in that camp I was very ill at ease... [John Kerry] abandoned his comrades. He burned up his “Band of Brothers” membership card when he did that. frontpagemag.com

Sprite, calm down. You're too young to have a heart attack. First, I'm not referring to the Swiftboat Veterans' activities. I'm referring to the "Stolen Honor" video that John Kerry had the gall to sue to prevent its broadcast even though he was the prime beneficiary of Michael Moore's pack of lies in F 9/11, which was allowed on the screen even though it is clearly treasonous and full of lies. I watched the "Stolen Honor" video in its entirety. It was low key and consisted of interviews with POWs. They said their captors used Kerry's Anti-War activities to mentally torture them and to justify prolonging and cranking up the physical torture. They had no reason to lie. They're all as old as I am at least, and are very glad to have survived. Their bitterness did not show through in the interviews. They just told it like it was. You need to think about this hard, Sprite. Your loyalties are misplaced. Your devotion to Kerry is nothing but raw emotion. You need to think about the facts, man. Nixon ended the war, despite the hatred of people like you. He ended it, not John Kerry. John Kerry prolonged it because he was complicit in the lack of resolve this country displayed and his ilk were behind ridiculous rules that prevented our troops from effective prosecution of the war, and gave the enemy loopholes where they could hide safely from our attacks.
