The GOP is going to be sending out "vets"to trash Kerry
My VietnamVeteran medal winning brother told me it's a federal offense to impersonate a veteran.These operatives need to be scrutinized and vetted OR arrested.

3. I think DailyKos had a grreat comeback
Something like
"30 years ago, some misguided people mistreated VietNam Veterans when they returned home - funny how it took the GOP 30 years to start doing this".

4. I guess the draft really is back
"We know that you are retired, are being screwed over by your government, and have suffered for years with the effects of Agent Orange, PTSD, scorned at home. We know you need healthcare. We don't care.

Help is on the way, unless you can stop it. Now go out their and demolish the presidential candidate!."

5. So typical. Use the VietNam Vets all over again.
Some of these vets were pissed because Kerry and others from that theater reported the lack of soldier discipline, officer direction and abuses. So what? Soldier morale and illegal activities were everwhere in that war as they often are in any war. My brother, and three brothers-in-law reported the same things Kerry testified to. Nobody's beating on them. What makes these angry guys so special?

These vets think its Kerry they are pissed at but its not. Its the fact that they had to fight the war and it stunk. They wanted to make their own rules and when someone ratted them out they got pissed and they've stayed pissed.

I think the public is entitled to know who among those vet critics volunteered for Nam and who did not, who was drafted and who was not, and in what division they served.

6. i just went went thru the whole site
and can`t figure out why this would be a threat to kerry. the people who run this site wouldn`t attack kerry because he did get those medals and he has the papers to prove it. if the gop thinks they could use this website to attack kerry they just might piss these people off enough to go over bush`s records..

7. No no rshod
this is a site dedicated to outing people who SAY they are Vietnam vets.They will hound them AND their families until they recant.What I'm suggesting is we find out exactly who these ops that will be doing the GOP's dirty work(seminars mentioned by Brian Lamb on C-Span this morning) are,and if they are what they say they are.If they are liying about being vets then we should report them to the govt.It's a federal offense to impersonate a veteran.Kerry has nothing to fear from this site.

8. A conservative relative claims
that Kerry nominated him self for his medals, and that such things just aren't done. How can I contradict that? And find out what is true? Any ideas?
