In 1971, John F. Kerry testified on the Hill about what he said were atrocities committed in Vietnam by our Armed Forces. Turns out that every single Winter Soldier was a bold-faced liar. John Kerry was their spokesman and the leader of the Vietnam Veterans against the war. He was the premier Code Pinko of his day.

Before the war was even over John F Kerry traveled to North Vietnam to cavort with our enemies while we were still engaged in combat operations. In any other war, he would have been convicted for aiding and abetting our enemies in time of war, and taken out and shot or hung for high treason.

Instead, the people of MA saw fit to elect Ritchie Rich as one of their Senators.

Since VN, John Kerry has shown himself to be just another leftist empty suit. Bad for America; and an ally of all our enemies.

In her 2004 article, Roberta Leguizamon writes about a documentary called “Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal” which documents

“how a young John Kerry jumpstarted his political career by denouncing American soldiers — and how the Vietnamese used his actions to torture, demoralize and threaten American Prisoners of War. In production before the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth splashed onto the scene, the documentary’s producers say “Stolen Honor” juxtaposes Kerry’s work with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War with the words of veterans who were still in Vietnam when Kerry was leading the antiwar movement. “

Here’s a taste:

“Retired Captain James H. Warner — a Marine who was held in North Vietnam for five years, five months — is a recipient of the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, 11 Air Medals and the Navy Commendation Medal.[1] Warner gives some of the most powerful testimony of how John Kerry’s words were used against POWs in “Stolen Honor:

In the Spring of 1971, I was taken with 35 others to a camp outside of Hanoi. All of us were put in solitary confinement, and we were told this was a camp for punishment guys who were misbehaving. From the moment we were on the ground we were constantly fed propaganda, and the propaganda from home was always about the antiwar movement. After we had talked for quite some time, the interrogator showed me a transcript of testimony that my mother had given at something called the Winter Soldier hearings. I had no idea what these were. I read her testimony and it wasn’t damning, but then I saw some of the other stuff that had gone on at this Winter Soldier hearing, I wondered how did somebody get my mother persuaded to appear at something like this.

Shortly thereafter he showed me some statements from John Kerry. He said that John Kerry had helped organize the Winter Soldier hearings because he was so motivated because he had been an American officer, served in the U.S. Navy. And then he started reading some of the statements that John Kerry had made. I’m sorry I can’t quote them, but essentially he accused all of us in Vietnam of being criminals, that everything we had done was criminal. The North Vietnamese had told us from the time that we got their hands on us that we were criminals, that we were not covered by the Geneva Convention, so It was okay for them to do whatever they wanted to do to us. And they told us that they were going to put us on trial and some of us would be executed”.”

“Retired Colonel Leo K. Thorsness — a Vietnam Air Force veteran and recipient of the Medal of Honor, Silver Star, six Distinguished Flying Crosses, 10 Air Medals, two Purple Hearts and the Good Conduct Medal — spent five years and 19 days as a POW. In “Stolen Honor” he reports:

A measure of patriotism is his loyalty to those still in uniform. That’s totally contrary to what he did. That makes him totally unpatriotic or loyal. He was over there fighting, he came home and there were still people he knew over there fighting, and he starts talking about war crimes and the atrocities we’re committing. He’s putting them in dire jeopardy. Every military combat guy I’ve talked to from Vietnam said their greatest fear was not being killed; it was becoming a POW. As you know, there were people captured in South Vietnam who were literally skinned alive…And Kerry’s giving the captors ammunition to treat people like that if they’re captured. And these are people he knew. Where in the world is his loyalty to the people in the military?”

“Retired Lt. Ralph E. Gaither, U.S. Air Force veteran and author of With God in a POW Camp, spent more than seven years as a POW. He reports in the documentary that Kerry’s antiwar action proved deadly to his colleagues:

We didn’t realize how powerful the movement was until toward the end of the war. I dedicated the book I wrote to John Frederick – he died 6 months before we came home. John would probably have been alive had the antiwar movement not been doing what they were doing. The Vietnamese grew great relish in the movement in support for their cause. I’m convinced that they held on to the war until after Nixon was reelected. They felt Nixon would not be re-elected, that the antiwar movement would be strong enough to get him out of office.”

She goes on to say that “in his 1971 book, The New Soldier, which sports a parody of the famous Iwo Jima flag raising, in which a group of scruffy soldiers are planting a flag upside down on the cover, Kerry said, “We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans’ Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the ‘greater glory of the United States.’ We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.”

Do we really want this traitorous scum as our next Secretary Of State? I say hell no.

Kerry is as are all democrats by default enemies of America, when we hear the word democrat or democracy, these words should tell the complete story of their anti American anti Republic agenda.

John Kerry comports with everything Obama believes in, so no surprise here. After all, the coward did have 3 self-inflicted war wounds. Enough to send him home and join up with the commie buddies of his.

Why Kerry? Because he is a puppet. The man has never had an original thought in his life, and only does or thinks what someone else tells him to. Obama can control him and use him, and if need be abuse him (throw him under the bus). Hillary was too independent and, as the Benghazi incident showed, was not about to be the administration's patsy.

There is good evidence that John Kerry was DISHONORABLY dishcarged for his actions. He was pardoned by Jimma Catta. In a just world he would have slinked away in shame never to be heard from again. But we live in a Zombie world, where disgraced anointed ones rise again, Mark Sanford, John Corzine, etc.

I'm sorry, but I am so angry at the moment, I am nearly crying! I am the widow of a disabled Korean War Veteran! It took the North Koreans and Chinese six years to get him, and I watched him die---not pleasant, and I feel North Korea should be wiped off the face of the earth! All four of my sons served---one in the Marines, two sailors, and one Air Force! I also had four grandsons by marriage who served with the Army in Iraq and Afganistan! As far as Kerry is concerned, I hope he dies a terrible death! He is not only a lyng traitor, but an opportunist and a tax evader! He should never be allowed to set foot in our national capitol, as even a senator, and definitely not in the position of Secretary of State! It was bad enough with Hillary Clinton and her traitorous ways--I hope the story of her plane crashing in Iran was true, and I hope she suffers more and more pain from it! The blood clot, I think, was only the start!

I am sick and tired of the traitors and liars in our country's government, and will do what I can to help correct it!

Can John F'ing Kerry be trusted to have the backs of our men and women in the military? Will he sell our troops and the country out, given the opportunity? Can we rely on Kerry to be straightforward and honest about anything? Is Kerry nothing more than a career politician who has built his career on lie after lie? Why is he held on high by communists and leftist global authoritarians?

John F'ing Kerry is one leopard who has not, nor will ever change his spots.

I would never defend this pile of crap, but I do have a couple of questions for everyone. When is it right to refuse to serve in the military? What actions by such a military would make it right to publicly speak out against it? If a war is unjust, should the American people refuse to support it or speak out against it loudly to as many people as possible? Should we allow the fact that Americans are currently serving to keep us from speaking out?

There are many veterans who have refused to redeploy based on the illegality of the wars, and what is being done in the wars.

tinlizzieowner
tinlizzieowner

I'm not going to go into detail here (though I could), but it's not the scope or duty of the foot soldier to decide what actions are 'good or bad'. We are 'supposed' to have commanders that make those decisions. Gen. Patton is recognized as being one of the greatest generals in American history but if you talk to soldiers who served under him (I know more than a few of them), you'll find he had no issues about sending young Americans to slaughter to accomplish his goals. I'm afraid that's just the war works, my friend. :-(

I served in the military starting at the end of the VN conflict. I joined to fight commies. Especially Russian ones. I had no problem with the war then or now. I eventually became a PSG in the Infantry. My speciality was Fire Support.

When you become a leader you make life and death decisions. Generals are no different. We bombed the snot out of Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan. All of which was necessary to win the war. In the end those two atom bombs saved my dad from having to board a troop ship bound for the invasion of Japan.

I got a real problem with John F'ng Kerry and how his fellow travelers treated us GIs in every airport that I went through in my uniform. I got real tired of being spit on, and having crap thrown on me by those low-lives.

I did have the pleasure of meeting John F'ng Kerry in person in HS, when he came around spreading his lies to my HS class. I called him out. I told him he was a liar and a traitor. Imagine...a HS kid figuring out that Johhnie-boy and his Winter Soldier liars were lying through their teeth LONG before the facts were actually known. It was a gut feeling. But I was dead-on right. Subsequent knowledge of those indivuals backs up my contention.

When I was growing up there were many WWII, Korean War and WWI vets around. I had many an encounter with them. John Kennedy summed them all up for me.So I asked not too.

I understand that some warriors are bitter about their experiences. But the ones that I knew were haunted by nightmares. That bitterness seemed to always come back to why them and not me.

War sucks. But it is a necessary evil. What's missing today is a strategy to beat our adversaries the Islamo-nazis and the will to win.

I will never forgive John F'ng Kerry EVER. And I will remind generation after generation what an evil, lying, traitorous scum that he is.

The 'Hippies' in general, were the useful idiots (like Hanoi Jane). The ones I have the most contempt for are those who were looked up to in the leftist movement as if they knew what they were talking about. Like this Punk Professor and the likes of Hanoi John. Those who never had anything but their own self interests (and an agenda) in mind.

You remember back in the day when the anti-war lefties would chant,

"Hey, Hey, LBJ. How many kids have you killed today?"

Have you noticed now that the far left is 'the establishment', there are no throngs of anti-war protesters on the streets, even though Barry is using the same drones to murder the same 'innocent civilians' that George Bush did? Well, I've got a new chant for these situational hypocrites, how about,

"Hey, hey, BHO. Where'd all the anti-war protesters go?"

;-) ;-)

I had a whole school full of those same useful idiots. Imagine being the only kid in school with the canastas to stand up for VN vets? Talk about peer pressure. Its what the Army used to call "leadership"...being willing to take a correct moral stand when everyone else was against you.

I have nothing but contempt for hippies to this day.

When people speak of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) especially when it comes to Viet Nam Vets, part of that 'Post' Traumatic Stress occurred here, not over there. WW1, especially WW2 and even Korea was to some part, fought by the whole country, since practically all of the Korean war Vets had also served in WW2. Those of us who served in Viet Nam returned to a 'business as usual' America that had little to do (and less care) with what had been going on in our lives.

There is one battle left over from the Viet Nam war for those of us who served there and that is to see to it that our young 'Brothers and Sisters' come home to a damn sight better 'Welcome Home' than we got. When you hear 2 'Nam' Vets greet each other with the words "Welcome Home Brother", there's a lot more behind those 3 little words than those who didn't serve there will ever understand.

Here's another thing to think about. There was a Democrat in the White House at the beginning of 4 out of the 5 wars in the 20th century. ;-)

I didn't know I was a 'Baby Burner' until I put myself through college on the GI Bill. I had a cocky, arrogant, professor that just couldn't get his facts straight when it concerned Viet Nam.

He'd talk about things that were 'supposed' to to have happened in the central highlands that actually happened in the delta, he could never manage to get the names of bases, or even cities straight, because he actually didn't have a clue what he was talking about. After my correcting him several times, he got frustrated and said, "How the hell do you know, you ever been there?" and being as naive as I was about what was going on in the states during the 21 months I spent in Southeast Asia, (a year of which was in Viet Nam), I said, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. I'm a Viet Nam Veteran". From that time forward, when he had anything to say about the Viet Nam war, he would look at me and say, "Well I better check this out WITH THE BABY BURNER first". The 'kids' in the class thought that was cute. I needed that degree and I needed that class to get it, by that time I had a wife and kids to feed, so I just took it. I'll never forget that experience.

If I ever met that SOB today, (and I still remember his name), I'd drop him so hard and fast, he would never know what hit him and this was back in 1969-70. I served in Viet Nam in 66-67. The anti-war movement on the streets and in the colleges was just getting started, back then and he was part of the lying, leftist, 'Useful Idiots' that created it.

John Kerry is a fake through and through. He is an establishment shill who works directly for the globalist regimes of the world. He is the epitome of dis-ingenuousness. He is a member of a crime syndicate that is propagated within the elite institutions of society such as the Ivy League schools and secret societies. He is part of a family of criminals who run the world through the use of force and off of the good nature of the people, and through deceptions of major proportions.

Sorry to go off there. I just can't stand the guy.

NO Vet would fault you for defending a current vet for apposing the wars. NONE of us 'encourage, or are in favor of' wars. It's the manner in which it is done that comes into question.

In the case of 'Hanoi' John Kerry though, his actions had a whole lot less to do with the opposition of war than it did with the furthering of his own self interests.

Jane Fonda on the other hand, was what Lenin used to call a 'Useful Idiot'.

You ask a very thought provoking question. Do you think The Rape of Nanking, Bataan and Pearl Harbor was "genocide?" How about the Son Tay prison atrocities?

I certainly cannot empathize, but I can sympathize, and try to understand. I don't fault anyone for doing what they think is right, only those who know that what they are doing is wrong. The fog of war obviously confuses the two. Many would fault me for defending a current vet for apposing the wars, but I don't really care. I can support all vets, no matter what their personal beliefs as long as their arguments are based on truth, and reality.

My father's generation fought in Vietnam. Since I have been an adult, I have seen no war that I felt was a just one worth fighting and sacrificing so much. No matter the nature of the conflict, I still thank vets for their service, because every one that I have met has done it with service to their country in mind. Though there has been no draft in recent years, I recognize the pressure that your generation were subjected to to go to war. I also realize the deceptions that you were fed, such as the Gulf of Ton kin incident.

tinlizzieowner

I can agree with just about all of that. As I have said in the past, I joined the Air Force in 1964 "To free the world of the red menace, like John Wayne told me to" and I came home with a completely different outlook on life.

War is a dirty, ugly, tragic exercise. It changes you in a way that you will find yourself justifying things that you would never do as a civilian but it's also one of those things that if I tried to explain to someone who hadn't been in combat, I wouldn't be able to. Many times at the museum, I'll be talking to another Viet Nam Vet about what we saw (and did) only to have his spouse say "you never told me about that?". The answer is always the same, "if I tried to explain, you wouldn't understand". :-(

As for the 'carpet bombing', If we hadn't literally beaten Germany and Japan into total submission, there would have been a million more dead GI's, especially if we had been forced to invade Japan and that's just a fact.

As for Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan, I have many mixed opinions about that.

librtifirst
librtifirst

I believe that using war as a response to a direct threat to be reasonable an moral. I also believe that the level of force used should match the threat up to and including nuclear bombs. Though I will say that I do not agree with many of the tactics that have been used in the middle east. Regardless of what the left and right say or report, when I look at the government's own civilian death and casualty numbers, I cannot say that I would be willing to carry them out. If there is a threat in a civilian residential zone, I think that you are limited to taking the risk of weeding it out on foot, rather than carpet bombing.

I have not served in the military, and as things have gone in the last ten years, I would refuse to be drafted and deployed to these wars. If I was called up to defend our homeland, I would. I would not dodge the draft, I would simply say "no". I am currently too old to be drafted under normal draft rules.

Good question. Do you consider bombing Berlin, Tokyo (and Hanoi) into the stone age, 'genocide'? If you do, since I worked directly with the guys who did bomb Hanoi, I guess I'm already am 'guilty' of 'genocide'.

One more thing, have you ever served in the military under combat conditions?

He's John McCain's buddy. He will be confirmed by the Senate. Not a chance that Kerry is not confirmed - just look at McCain for that one. This was a done deal even before the Susan Rice debacle.
