Rogue,
I mentioned wrong, i meant to say that it was O'Neils opinion instead of CNN.
I wasn't even alive during the Vietnam War but i still believe that from what i have read that Kerry demoralized the troops even more because at home yes of course the country was against the war, but when someone that has been there comes home and gives evidence ( or lies) of what is happening that, to me strikes at the moral of the troops even more.
And if he had the balls to do it, why didn't he do it where it really counted, in Vietnam, why come home where he knows he'll get full support?
Yes it takes a man to stand up and do what he did, but he wasn't man enough to do it himself.
And i never said anything about Bush or Cheney so i don't know where you're getting that from.

Millions of people were anti-war protesters. Jane Fonda included.
Tens of thousands of veterans spoke out against the war.
He was a regular veteran with an opinion. It seems that he was a little too articulate and people actually listened to him.
And if he had the balls to do it, why didn't he do it where it really counted, in Vietnam, why come home where he knows he'll get full support?
Full support? Learn a little man. I wasn't alive at the time either but sheesh, don't you know anything about it? Go to your library or at least get a free membership to Blockbuster.
Yes it takes a man to stand up and do what he did, but he wasn't man enough to do it himself.
Interesting argument. So he was man enough to voice his opinion, but not man enough to voice his opinion? Okay. In other news, it's snowing outside, but it's not snowing.
And i never said anything about Bush or Cheney so i don't know where you're getting that from.
Fair enough. It is obvious you don't think Kerry is fit to be President and I assumed you feel George Bush is. I was wrong. Why do you like Nader?
