Photo of Kerry with Fonda enrages Vietnam veterans

It's not just the photo that has Vietnam vets enraged but the fact that upon his return to the States from Vietnam, Kerry became the most visible military spokesman against the war, heading up a group called Vietnam Vets against the War and even testi-lying in front of a Congressional Committee in 1971.
In those hearings, he accused his brother American servicemen of committing numerous war atrocities and war crimes, Kerry alleged because it was SOP, against the Vietnamese people without citing a single example or naming a single name.
Kerry and his anti-war group were one of the biggest forces behind destroying morale on the battlefront and at home, influencing Congress to eventually bring the war to a halt by stopping funding, even though America was winning, by VietCong General Giap's own admission.
Then, as now, Kerry used his service record, plus his rich Boston Brahmin connections like those to the Kennedies, to springboard into a Senate career where he continued to betray our servicemen.
Kerry headed up the POW/MIA Committee in 1992, agreeing to the Vietnamese concession that there were no more American POW/MIAs in Vietnam, when many of the military who served in country say that there are (or were).
And in his Senatorial dealings with the Vietnamese government, he's never once demanded that they respect the human rights of their citizens, as they agreed to do when they signed the 1973 Paris Peace Agreement.
The man is scum and should be allowed nowhere near being our CINC.

If Sen. Kerry and the DNC insist on examining the details of President Bush's military service, it's only fair and right that the GOP do the same to John Fonda Kerry's.
And the details of the "real deal" behind Kerry's are pretty ugly and damning.
