[Vision2020] Kerry Lied about Vietnam and Vietnam Veterans

[Donovan Arnold]

No Way! You expect us to believe that a National Politician would lie? I am 
in such shock! Shocked I tell you. Shocked! Next your going to try to tell 
us that cigarettes cause cancer and credit cards charge outrageous interest 
rates.

How many soldiers died because of Kerry's lies about WMD in Vietnam? That 
Kerry was a chickenhawk anyway. Did you know that during the Vietnam War 
Kerry went out and saved just one man's life and got a few ribbons and 
medals. What a freak and coward. He should be more like Bush who served in 
the Texas National Guard defending the United States from a possible attack 
from Mexico.

>Folks,
>Many of us Vietnam Veterans have had to put up with a 30 year myth that
>we were psychotics, murderers of innocents, and much much more. Much of
>this myth was developed and fostered by a group called the Vietnam
>Veterans Against the War. John Kerry was one of the leaders and chief
>spokesman of that movement and on 22 April 1971 he testified to the
>Senate Armed Forces committee that: "...they had personally raped, cut
>off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human
>genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies,
>randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of
>Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and
>generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the
>normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which
>is done by the applied bombing power of this country." This testimony
>was developed at a meeting in Detroit called "Winter Soldier." "Winter
>Soldier" was an event funded by Jane Fonda in which 150 men purporting
>to be Vietnam combat veterans told John Kerry in Detroit about
>atrocities they had committed or witnessed in Vietnam.  That formed the
>basis of much of Kerry's April 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign
>Relations Committee.  The transcript of "Winter Soldier" was put into
>the Congressional Record, and an investigation was ordered and conducted
>by the US Navy and the US Army.  Most of the grisly testimony was found
>to come from fake witnesses using the identity of real Vietnam veterans,
>some came from Vietnam veterans who had in fact never been in combat,
>and other witnesses refused to answer any questions despite commitments
>of immunity. Not a single atrocity was ever uncovered by military
>investigators or by independent efforts of many journalists looking for
>a story. Yet, John Kerry has never seen fit to repudiate this testimony
>or to apologize to the Vietnam Veterans that have had to live with that
>lie. And now, we are going to do something about it. There is to be a
>rally in Washington DC on 12 September 2004 from 1400-1600 on the West
>Capitol Steps. The purposes of that Rally are:
>     1. To repudiate Kerry's testimony with the truth.
>     2. To demonstrate the unselfish and honorable service of the
>Vietnam Veteran.
>     3. Put a public face on the average Vet, who came back from the
>war, proud of his service, worked hard to achieve the American dream and
>is no different from veterans of any other war.
>     4. Demand that Kerry apologize and retract his testimony to the
>Senate. You can get details at the following website: www.kerrylied.com
>In addition, you can get all the sordid details of Kerry's past history
>and lies at: www.wintersoldier.com which is also linked to the first
>website. I invite, and encourage you to visit the sites, and if
>possible, join us at the Rally in Washington, DC. The guys behind this
>are all reputable and honorable Vietnam Vets from all political stripes.
>Several are accomplished authors of books about Vietnam and Vietnam
>Veterans. We are not associated in any way with the Republican Party are
>any other blatantly political organization. This has bubbled up from the
>Vet ranks. Please join me in Washington DC on 12 September. We are
>asking that everyone dress appropriately in business casual - no partial
>uniforms or insignia, except baseball caps.
