According to CNN (and numerous other sources), Kerry has been awarded

both
distinctions:
"It was in 1971 that Kerry, then 27, appeared before the Senate

Foreign
Relations Committee to speak out against U.S. policy in Vietnam.


And that testimony is going to be a part of his downfall when it gets
thoroughly analyzed during the later campaign.


Why might that be?


Gross slander and dereliction of duty for starters.

What a totalitarian sentiment. "Slandering the state" is what the Soviet
Union used to charge dissidents with when they denounced acts of
international aggression committed by their country, as Kerry had the
courage to do with regard to the US invasion and conquest of South Vietnam.

Dereliction of duty? One of an officer's principal duties under domestic
and international law is to prevent his own side from committing war crimes.
If Kerry had remained silent about the massive, systematic atrocities
committed by the US in its brutal attempt to impose a puppet dictatorship
upon the people of South Vietnam (killing literally millions of people in
the process), THAT would have been a dereliction of his legal and moral duty
as a soldier, a citizen, and a human being.

Where did I say he slandered the "state"?

Yes, it is. So why did he "see" so many attrocities and do nothing, as he
would be required to do in his duty as an officer, about them?

Before you decide to spin for the fellow, you might look past your rhetoric
and review his remarks and his actions.

Perhaps I misunderstood. If you were not referring to Kerry's criticism
of the actions of the US government and the US military, then whom,
specifically, do you claim Kerry slandered and what, specifically, are the
false accusations that the alleged slander consisted of?

Kerry and his organization gathered documentation of far more than what
he personally witnessed. And his testimony before Congress *was* doing
something about it.

committed by the US in its brutal attempt to impose a puppet

I'm not spinning for Kerry. I find plenty to criticize him for (such as
voting to let Bush unilaterally go to war in Iraq under false pretenses).
But Kerry's activism in opposition to the US war in Vietnam was
exemplary of how patriots and humanitarians ought to behave.

Perhaps you should read a transcript of his testimony.

They gathered anecdotes.

And his testimony before Congress *was* doing
something about it.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Right...that's how military officers do their duty.

If Kerry had remained silent about the massive, systematic atrocities
committed by the US in its brutal attempt to impose a puppet

dictatorship
upon the people of South Vietnam (killing literally millions of people

in
the process), THAT would have been a dereliction of his legal and

Do have a clue what "unilateral" means? Do you ahve a clue what "false
pretenses" means?

But Kerry's activism in opposition to the US war in Vietnam was
exemplary of how patriots and humanitarians ought to behave.


Do you have a clue about ANYTHING?

He's a dollar...buy a clue!!

I have indeed read a transcript of Kerry's pivotal Winter Soldier
Investigation testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on
April 22, 1971. I repeat my question: what, specifically, do you see as a
false accusation against any person in Kerry's testimony? What is the
accusation in question, and what is your evidence that it was false?

Do you have a clue about ANYTHING?

He's a dollar...buy a clue!!


Do you have a clue about how to have a civil exchange of ideas? Or are you
only able to converse with people who agree with you? If you're going to
deluge this newsgroup with repetitive, off-topic proclamations of your
opinions (and apparently no thought fleets through your mind that you
consider too trite or trivial to warrant everyone's attention here), you
could at least refrain from responding with vacuous insults when others
challenge you to support your assertions.

Invest your money where it's needed. You need a LOT of clues.
