I was referring to the words that apparently had the effect of stabbing "roughly 1.3 million veterans in the back". I just think that if he feels so strongly that kerry bore a false witness maybe he should bring up charges against him cause I believe he was under oath at the time.

I wanted to assure Marg that this is not a 2 way posting. I am as shocked as anyone about her callousness and lack of respect. As far as the "guilty (sic) trip" is concerned, Marg needs to learn to distinguish between an emotional manipulation and a genuine reproach.

marg, who are you to judge? were you in vietnam? were you a pow? how do you know anything about what you never went through, felt or can imagine?
It's hard to criticize John Kerry these days. Apparently, every criticism of him is unfair. At least, we're not supposed to criticize his time in Vietnam -- or even what he's said about Vietnam more recently -- because that would be a "smear" (even when the Kerry campaign admits, as it has regarding Kerry's Christmas-in-Cambodia claims, that he hasn't been telling the truth). That he served in Vietnam 35 years ago, we're told, tells us all we need to know about his character.

In fairness to Marg and anyone else who has not actually served (like me), I must agree with her that being a civilian should not deprive one of the right to hold an opinion, as disagreeable as it might be...

I'm curious, are people disputing Kerry's statements regarding the manner in which the Vietnam War was fought?

Additionally, if it is the case that people are disputing his version of events, I'm curious to see what motive someone could attach to this.

Thanks for your honesty; at least you don�t hide behind your name some in these post claims to be vets when they are not more vets than bush claiming to be a pilot.
