You guys know Admiral Zumwalt from tour of duty?
I was talking to my dad who grew up in Arlington, Virginia, and he says he knew the admiral, and that he was a great guy, and I read that he ran for senate in one state, I dont know which one but it was as a democrat. Plus he was a big defender of Kerry. He's since passed away. It seems to me with the exception of Latch Hoffman, Kerry had deep respect for his military superiors even if he believed the war in vietnam was wrong.

1. It's too bad Zumwalt wasn't alive
To debunk all that Swift Boat shit. I think he definitely would've stoof by Kerry, and had some strong words for all those bastards.

3. I think his son joined the SVT though
I think. And I think he said he thought his dad would have joined too. But everything I ever read about his dad supported what you say and not what his son was saying.

Or was that Elliot. I do SO suck at names.

5. Elliot
Who had nothing but praise for John Kerry until the magical conception of SBVT in 2004. And vise versa.

That fucking Judas will get his someday. They all will. Money talks, but you can't take it with you, scumbag.

6. Yep I cant believe it either
but yeah I read in Tour of Duty that Zumwalt fought hard for his son who was also in the Navy who got agent orange. Kerry was one of the first if not the first senator to address agent orange troubles among vietnam veterans, Admiral Zumwalt's son died of this. Who was the naval officer Kerry worked for when he got back anyhow.
