Guess we need to know more
about him! No matter your political preference! Subject:
Retired Green Beret takes on John Kerry Open Letter to John
Kerry: My wife had rotator
cuff surgery earlier this year, and the recovery is terribly painful.
Then, she developed a staph-epi infection, and they had to cut the same scar
open and operate on her again. Just thinking about the pain and anxiety of
facing that painful surgery a second time in the same wound, makes me cringe.
That experience, however pales in comparison to what I am going through right
now, in my heart. The old hurts are
surfacing and the feelings of betrayal by fellow citizens, and their leader
stirring them up, are breaking my heart again. I am being cut in the same
scar. How did we who served in Vietnam suddenly become cold-blooded killers,
torturers, and rapists, of the ilk of the Nazi SS or the Taliban? Most
of us were American soldiers who grew up idolizing John Wayne, Roy Rogers,
and all the other heroes. That was why I volunteered.. But for political
expediency, John Kerry has rewritten history, again. After spending only four
months in the country of Vietnam, John Kerry testified before Congress in
1971 with these exact words about incidents he supposedly witnessed or heard
about from other vets: "They 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, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally
ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam." I was a green beret officer who
volunteered for duty in Vietnam and fought in the thick of it in 1968 and
1969 on a Special Forces A-team on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, just for starters.
We were the elite. We saw the most action. Everybody in the world knows that.
But we did not just kill people, we built a church, a school, treated
illnesses, passed out soap, food, and clothing, and had fun and loving
interaction with the indigenous people of Vietnam, just like our boys did in
Normandy, Baghdad, Saigon, and everywhere American soldiers ever served. We
all gave away our candy bars and rations to kids. Our hearts to
oppressed people all over the globe. My children and grandchildren could
read your words, and think those horrendous things about me, Mr. Kerry. You
are a bold-faced, unprincipled liar, and a disgrace, and you have dishonored
me and all my fellow Vietnam veterans. Sure, there were a couple bad-apples,
but I saw none, and I saw it all, and if I did, as an army officer, it was my
obligation to stop it, or at the very least report it. Why is there
not a single record anywhere of you ever reporting any incidents like
this or having the perpetrators arrested? The answer is simple. You are
a liar. Your medals and mine are not a free pass for lifetime, Senator
Kerry, to bypass character, integrity, and morality. I earn my
green beret over and over daily in all aspects of my life. ######################################################################## Pass this to every one you know, We
do not need this man in Washington |
