Kerry wasn't bashing veterans he was just pointing out that war crimes were committed, not EVERY soldier committed war crimes but many did. They were a bunch of scared kids fighting 4 their lives, but the truth should be told no matter what and Kerry told the truth. If someone on ur street raped someone and was brought 2 trial does that mean that the witnesses were saying every single resident of the street is a rapest, no they are not. He wasn't bashing all veterans, he meerely pointed out that atrocities were commited. At least when POW's are tourtured by Americans they don't say it classifies as tourture they say it's "abuse" so they don't get in trouble. They president can't even apoligise some intern in the White Hose daily breefing does 4 him. And all he can say is that it was "abhorent" as if Bush really know what that means. HA. |
okay, that makes sense. but still, he was with many of these guys he accused of doing horrible things...i mean, hes trying to get out of the blame while doing this, or at least thats the way i see it. and i think a united states soldier has every right to do what he wants to preserve his life. i mean, if hes just killing people for the heck of it, no, thats wrong, but if it is to save his own life - i mean, its justifiable.
and about the article, i mean obviously these guys are going to be dead set against him from the start. i put it here because it gives people an idea of what veterans think about him. but, yes, they are going to hate him, because nobody like being told they did something wrong.
and you cant just assume kerry told the truth.
he probably did about most things, or else the liberals/conservatives would be bashing the crap out of him.
yes, the liberals too, there are a lot of liberals who dont like him.
slate for instance, hardly a conservative magazine, ran an article titled "Don't like the senators plans? Just wait a week" lol, it was funny. may have not been that word for word, but it was very close to that.
