In a 2002 conversation, Kerry told me he thought it would be doubly advantageous that "I fought in Vietnam and I also fought against the Vietnam War," apparently not recognizing that some would see far too much political calculation in such a bifurcated record.

Then, he tried to spin it away on "Meet the Press". Here is a video PROVING he said what you claim he never said...
You should really do more research before you put you foot in your mouth like that....

Nanna,
Much like alot of John Jerry, he did what was good for John Kerry. The simple fact is he used the vets for personal gain (Not that he is the only one to have done so) and in fact may have coerced some of the vets into saying those things. A vet by the name of Steven Pitkin has made just such a claim. The thread can be found here:

Then you get things like the little girl who got her Bush sign ripped up by the fanatical libs at a Kerry rally. Boy, did they ever jump on that, saying it was the fathers fault for taking her, like that gives someone the right to assault a child. Disgusting. Then they said it was all a set up, and he own brother ripped the sign up...talk about grasping at straws.

You are probably right, marg6043. I'm not worried,...... the late 60's and earily 70's is my time, I seen how the Veterans were treated,...... it was not good, and I remember John Kerry during that time, I was young,.... but I remember. A lot of things were going on during that time in the USA, ..... young men trying to avoid the draft and Vietnam ( as George W Bush did ), protesters against the war in Vietnam, Streakers in the streets, even John Lennon got involved " Give Peace A Chance", etc. ect, ect. It was a time that my generation will not forget, because of a President that didn't want to be the first President to lose a war, so he kept our men and women over there to fight and die,...... to save face. It was a very sad time for everyone, but moreso for the Vietnam Veterans.
I started this thread so the ones that don't know about that time can learn and for those that are still around but did not know the whole truth of that testimony in 1971, can learn the truth.
Our troops back then died and was maimed for a war that never should have happened and NOW our men and women are being killed and maimed and the Iraqi's citizens are being killed and maimed for a WAR THAT NEVER SHOULD OF HAPPENED , because of a President and Vice-President , that never personally "seen" much less fought in a war ( they avoid Vietnam), are the ones that lied and pushed for this war in Iraq.
WMD's ,........ my foot, these two want to play war-games from the Oval Office, with human lives,...... two men that did everything possible to avoid Vietnam, one's a recovered drunk and cokehead and the other a college degenerate that did his best to stay in college to avoid the draft.
