Larry
He wasn't talkin about "me"..........and not "you" either for that matter. He WAS simply stating what OTHERS had reported or claimed happened. I don't think you'll find anywhere in his statements where he PERSONALLY saw any of these "things" take place with the exception of "free-fire" zones and burning of villages?
You never saw a village "burned"..............I sure as hell did!
And.........I was in a few "free-fire" zones as well!
Anyway, his "comments" didn't hurt me in ANY way. Like the man once said "Opinions are like a$$holes..........everybody has one and most of them usually stink!" Kerry's "opinion" was but one of thousands that reflected the troubles and trials of that time period.
What GEE-Freakin-W HAS done (and hasn't done for vets) in the past 3 and one-half years is distinctly MORE damaging and destructive than ANYTHING John Kerry may have said 33 years ago!
Love ya brother...............but I GOTTA go with Kerry!
