Precisely this is what made so many of us turn Republican...The Left even then was causing the maiming and death of our POW's. Between the Left in Congress voting to de-fund our Military (while they were supposed to be fighting...with no bullets....) and Fonda and others of the Left going over to NVN with their anti-war kumbyah statements, while our POW's were still in those hell-hole prisons, sickened most of us. “Just like the ‘pull-out movement’ today, as I call it, the peace movement would give them something to hang their hats on,” said Richard A. Stratton, another former prisoner incarcerated with Mr. McCain. “You are being tortured and all you have to do to get them to stop is say the same thing that Bobby Kennedy is saying. The same thing that George McGovern is saying. You don’t even have to make anything up.” This article does raise a good question. Why shouldn't our soldiers study our foreign policy? We ask them to put their lives on the line. For what? Foreign policy that changes like the breeze? When did our foreign policy become a political football?
