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.


Well, that's one interpretation of the facts. There are others.

The Vietnamese turned to "Communism" as a means of national liberation,
not from ideology.


You are speaking of course of the North Vietnamese, not the South Vietnamese.

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.


That's pretty lame. Bush was an excellent fighter pilot, and his commanders
agreed on that. Flying is fighter aircraft is dangerous, no matter where it's
done. When Bush applied to go to Vietnam, there was already a glut of pilots;
he really wasn't needed as a pilot. He accrued more points than he needed to
earn his Honorable Discharge. He signed off on his Form 180, allowing total
access to his military records (something Kerry still hasn't done; the Navy is
withholding 94 PAGES of documents of Kerry's military records, at Kerry's own
request). Bush didn't travel to Paris to meet Communist agents (as did Kerry),
and Bush didn't lie about "earning" Purple Hearts from minor, self-inflicted
wounds.

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


Of course not. Like most leftists, you sincerely believe that you alone have
the right to belittle others who disagree with you, and you have no sense of
humor whatsoever.

current VP or the previous VP is/was


Non sequiter; many people don't *care* about VPs, one way or the other g.

OTOH the facts about Laotians still losing limbs to ordnance,
overspill from the Vietnam war, come from respected international
charities...


Yes, that appears to be the case. But also remember how many Laotians were
"purged" after the allies left Vietnam...not to mention the Cambodians.

Right you are James. Bush needn't have done anything at all. Instead, he
undertook jet fighter training. That sort of thing is dangerous as hell. I
think Kerry and the Dems are totally insane to have made his military record
an issue.

Kerry's own war record is abysmal. All those purple hearts and not a day in
the hospital! What a laugh that is! And the major media simply could not
get a handle on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth thing either. Well, who do
you believe? Kerry or the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth?

What Kerry did when he came home from Vietnam was treasonous. I put him
right along side of Jane Fonda, another crazy bitch who should have been
taken out and shot, or better yet, condemned to live in the worker's
paradise of North Vietnam.

I do not think the Dems could possibly have come up with a worse candidate.
Even the redoubtable Mr. Sherman is not going to vote for him. Instead he is
going to throw his vote away on another supreme asshole, Ralph Nader.
