I don't see the controversy.
====
The first war we lost on purpose and Kerry did his part, thats for sure.  Im not the least bit surprised you dont see the controversy.
What role did you play to help lose that war?

I will say this.

The war ending at the time and in the manner that it did was certainly beneficial to the NORTH Vietnamese. I'm not so sure it was very beneficial to the SOUTH Vietnamese or the United States.

While it is not hard to see the benefits for the North Vietnamese communists, I'm having a difficult time seeing the upside for the United States or the South Vietnamese.

Much ado about nothing.

Below the photograph of John Kerry are explanatory placards in English, French, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The English placard reads:

"Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnamese Communist Party met with Congressman and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 1993)"


The picture has nothing to do with aiding the enemy. I wonder who else's picture is up there? VN was visited by McClain too. I wonder if his pic is on the wall? Any bets?

McClain isn't running for President.

McClain did not aid the enemy.

Liberals are always doing this with every issue.  

Well MT Johnny Jones doesn't live here, now go to your room!!

Perhaps if you had heard that more often during your formative years you would have come out normal!

I think the complaint has to do with the caption(s) under the photo commending Kerry for his involvement in the antiwar movement which the communists feel aided their efforts.

By the way, it's McCain, not McClain. It is also McCain who is among those who reported that Kerry's accusations against U.S. soldiers was played repeatedly to POW's like McCain.

Doing what with issues? Pointing out thier idiocy? OK, guilty.

The caption says NOTHING about helping or aiding the enemy. It is a 1993 visit. I'm pretty sure the war was over by then.... yep it was.

The photo may have been taken in '93.  The aid and comfort occurred during the execution of the Vietnam War.  Surely this couldn't be lost upon even you!!

what these hippies wont admit is the FACT that more people died in the "peace" of veitnam than in the war itself.  Its a sad fact that we left veitnam and mass murder took place.  I suppose they want the same thing to happen in Iraq.  They want to hate bush and call this an unjustified war....fair enough.....but it is a war and when there political hatred gets in the way of their judgment and they would rather short change the troops in Iraq than make it look like the effort is working they are doing a great disservice to themselvs....to America....to the troops....and to the people of Iraq

..... resisting the gutter ... resisting the gutter.

I guess staying on topic is too much for you too. Shirley, you can accept the fact that a picture of a visiting Senator in 1993 has nothing to do with aiding the enemy during the war.

I believe MT, that the members of our generation will still be beating each other over the head with the Vietnam issue when we're all toothless and in wheelchairs.

Sure Freedom of speech....If I walk into a crowded theater and yell FIRE and people get trampled to death I am responsible for their deaths.

See Gunslinger, if you'd just called __________ a traitor to start with, you wouldn't have to take watermelon off GSholtz.
