Reply #444: Right. The ones who REALLY knew still SUPPORT him.

I've read what Kerry said about Vietnam and my dad was in Korea pre Vietnam during the "Korean Conflict" stage.

The things that Kerry said are errily familiar. You could almost substitute Iraq for Vietnam etc... and be talking about this war and the actions of this administration.

Having stood up up against an unjust war when he was younger makes Kerry a target for a rich and powerful president who is waging the same type of war on another country when he's running for office.

There may be veterans who disagree with Kerry on issues, but I'll tell you one thing the Swift Boat was bought and paid for by the repubs, so I trust it as far as I can throw a Cadillac and you sound like a freeper to me.

<<Sorry about the freeper bit if you're really just posting your opinion, but you do sound like one because you're insinuating instead of giving real facts.

The phenenom you are speaking about IS what makes it *plausible* the the Swift Boat had a point. BUT the financial backing makes me smell the rat and just listening to a sane and rational Kerry make his point vs all this hype that came about during the election to taint a man who actually served his country and didn't go awol like Bush did add up to propoganda to me.

On another post I had to question my patronage to WalMart, seems a simple thing, just like your loyalty to people who have served being able to tell the truth about leaders they served under. But you need to be willing to dig deep if you want the truth because the lies are more appealing if you have a stake in believing them.

Since you've been there, go contact some of the guys who stand up for Kerry and see for yourself if their story rings true. Talk to the other guys too. I think it won't take rocket science to get a gut feel for who is really lying. I feel that someone who is bought and paid for has to be lying, but that's just me. I could be wrong.
