You contend that the U.S. sent military forces to South Vietnam simply for
purposes of racist colonialism?

That is why the French were there, and why the US supported the French
instead of the Vietnamese nationalists in the late 1940's and 1950's.
The Vietnamese turned to "Communism" as a means of national liberation,
not from ideology.

"Colonel David Crockett...would *not* have supported Kerry."

So what?


Perhaps because Crockett valued honesty, character, integrity, and moral
courage? All virtues sadly absent in Kerry.

And even more absent in Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, who didn't even
have the decency to fight in a war they supported.

As the sign in Baghdad said, "Saddam Gone, Job Done, Go Home". Good advice.


Well, we had Hanoi Jane, so I take it you're attempting to become "Baghdad
Tom"?

Putting a "g" after such statements does nothing to make them more
