Hey Krelm, let me enlighten you for a sec, and possibly tie up a few ends. First Kerry DID meet secretly in Paris. Was John Kerry part of a US sponsored diplomacy effort or a foreign affairs committee?? NO. Was he expecting to get the Nobel Peace Prize by denigrating the US troops serving their country and POWs barely surviving in torcherous prison camps. I dont know what self serving intentions he had by doing this, but he LIED about acts of atrocities that he may have done himself, but never saw with his own eyes. Krelm, the real issue here, is that for the POW's, the North Vietnamese wanted them to 'admit' that they're wrong for being there, that they were invading the north, not liberating the south. Then when they refused to be coerced, they would be beaten, and beaten, and beaten. Then all of a sudden you have a 'viet nam vet' named John Kerry, going on television calling America the monster, and the troops criminals and barbarians. He had fluid dialogue with the N. Vietnamese, and his groups spokesperson, Jane Fonda, actually visited one of the POW camps, without making ANY contact with the prisoners, touring with the N. Vietnamese. So because now there is an outspoken american vet, who calls the US troops barbarians, it gives the N. Vietnamese torturing the POW's some credence, and when the POW's continue to vow their patriotic efforts, they were beaten even more severly, and sometimes killed. Fact is we were in the middle of a grusome war, and the last thing we need is some traitor denigrating our troops directly to our enemy, and throwing his medals away, and engaging in fluid dialogue with the enemy while our boys are still fighting and dying. Do you not see how this constitutes treason????
