Unique Study, by Vietnam Veterans, Sets the Vietnam Record Straight-Free Online
UNIQUE STUDY, BY VIETNAM VETERANS, SETS THE VIETNAM RECORD STRAIGHT
A recent poll of military personnel shows that those fighting the war in Iraq overwhelmingly support President Bush over John Kerry. The American public is almost evenly divided on the issue of Iraq. What do the soldiers know that the rest of the public doesn't understand?
In the same vein, Vietnam Veterans overwhelmingly oppose Kerry. About two and a half million servicemen and women actually went to Vietnam in the ten years of major American involvement. Why are they at odds with a Presidential candidate who is also a Vietnam Veteran?
An extensive report prepared by a group calling itself "Vietnam Veterans for Correcting the Myths," comprised of Vietnam veterans who are scholars on Vietnam, details the basis for their disagreements with John Kerry. The report is lengthy (200 plus pages), but it is well argued and extensively documented (almost 500 footnotes). You can read the report or just its executive summary at www.ButtonDePress.com/BostonManifesto/index.htm
A quote:
"We are not asking that John Kerry 'bear some censure' for his behavior more than three decades ago. The issue before the American people this November is not whether Kerry should be 'censured' but whether he ought to be rewarded for his behavior by electing him President of the United States.
What precedent would that set for young Americans in the future trying to decide whether it is in their self-interest to serve, or betray, their country during a time of war? And what message would we send to the nearly three million American veterans who served honorably in Vietnam and still carry painful memories of the hostility that greeted them after returning home because of the lies told by people like John Kerry?
Our current military is disproportionately composed of the sons and daughters of proud veterans from Vietnam and other conflicts; and as we face the serious threats of a global war on terrorism, what message will we send to them by honoring a man whose tapestry of lies betrayed their fathers?"
