WTF is this supposed to mean, exactly? In what way was it not exactly as bad as everyone predicted? Or worse, even? The ecological consequences alone have been incredible.
Bo says- "They detail 320 alleged incidents that were substantiated by United States Army investigators — not including the 1968 My Lai Massacre. "
So how could they be “alleged” if they were supposedly substatiated?
And were anyone involved in these 320 “incidents” brought up on war crime trials or charged under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice". Or were these things just alleged.
Speaking of Mai Lai, why is you guys talk incessantly about that, but never talk about the Hue Massacre during the Tet Offensive, where NVA forces slaughtered 5000 UNARMED civilians before being driven out of the city. No, no, you’d rather talk about this one incident, where the officer in charge was prosecuted and sent to prison.
““Win at any cost” isn’t compatible with the ideals and values that our country espouses, either in war or in peacetime.”
Whew. Good thing you never served in the military, we’d all be speaking Russian today. Or German. Maybe Japanese. Hey, those Japanese women are hot, that might not be so bad.
“What he stated was that other people testified to committing war crimes and seeing war crimes committed.”
Again, as the lawyers say, this is a distinction without a difference. And frankly, if there WERE supposed first hand witnesses, why weren’t THEY testifying? Oh, because they didn’t have the pretty boy looks and fine Ivy League mouth Kerry had. A lot of them were characters like Al Hubbard (his Co-Chairman of VVAW) , who went around claiming to be a Captain when he was in fact never more than a Sergeant, and never served in country, although he claimed he did, and claimed he was injured in combat when it was a pickup basketball game.
You see, this is where you play the game. You said he’s repeating what others said, and then we don’t know who these others are, and don’t find out about their drug and disciplinary problems. But he has testimony from someone who was there, and that’s the important thing. And he won 3 Purple Owies and has that pretty Yale Mouth…
“In fact, you seem to already have your opinions, and not let any facts get in the way of keeping them.”
Yup, them “facts”… The same facts the traitors who pretend they never heard of Pol Pot or Boat People keep repeating.
But Bo, before you waste any more of my time, why don’t you answer the question I’ve asked SOOOOO many times here.
If John Kerry was so proud of what he did after Vietnam, why didn’t he RUN FOR PRESIDENT ON THAT BASIS? Obviously, if slandering brave men and making apologies for communist butchers was such a noble endevor, why not just say that’s what you did, bring Jane Fonda and Abbie Hoffman’s rotting corpse up onto the podium with you and say, “America deserves to lose wars because we’s big bad imperialists!”
He tried to re-invent himself. Someone called him on it. Boo, hoo, hoo.
I’m a little late here, but you’re out of line. “You are delusional” is a personal insult and doesn’t belong in this forum, and the rest of what I’ve quoted is over the top. Dial it back and don’t do it again.
