War Vets and POWs Blast NY Times/Kerry "News Story
June 08, 2006

While 2008 seems a long ways off, there are quite a few politicians in
both political parties gearing up for a presidential run. One of those
politicians is Senator John F. Kerry
(D-MA), who lost in 2004 largely because of his anti-war activity when
he returned from four months service in Vietnam and his exaggeration of
his wartime exploits.

One group that will not allow Americans to forget the real John Kerry
is also gearing up for when he tosses his hat in the ring, much the same
way he tossed phony medals over the
White House fence when he was protesting the war with like-minded
left-wingers.

"It isn't about medals, it's about honor betrayed," retired Air Force
Colonel George E. "Bud" Day said in his response to the New York Times'
report that Sen. John Kerry is
attempting to resurrect his disputed Vietnam service and decorations as
he readies for another Presidential campaign.

"The New York Times would be wise to stop dodging the real issue behind
the veteran animus towards Mr. Kerry. He is anathema for a vast
majority of Vietnam veterans who
believe he betrayed them 35 years ago," Col. Day said.

A former Vietnam POW (1967-73) and Medal of Honor recipient, Col. Day
is the most highly decorated Air Force veteran alive. He is also
Chairman of the Vietnam Veterans
Legacy Foundation, a non-profit organization of several POWs and the
wife of a POW who are the targets of ongoing lawsuits filed by Kerry
campaign aides last year. The VVLF
POWs are accused of libeling and defaming Kerry and his anti-war
followers in a 2004 documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal."

That film examined the impact of Kerry's testimony before the US Senate
Foreign Relations Committee on American POWs being held in the
notorious "Hanoi Hilton" prison camp.
Then Lt. jg Kerry accused Vietnam veterans of being "war criminals" who
raped and plundered the Vietnamese, "murdering over 200,000 innocent
civilians each year."

And Kerry hasn't changed say his critics. They point to his television
appearance when he complained that US soldiers were terrorizing women
and children in the middle of the
night, but presented no evidence to backup his claim.

When the Sinclair Broadcast Group announced plans to air "Stolen Honor"
in October 2004, the Kerry/Edwards Campaign launched an all-out effort
to prevent it from being shown
or distributed. The producer, a thrice-wounded, decorated Marine and a
Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award-winner, was sued immediately by Kerry
campaign aides. In the wake of
Kerry campaign-inspired boycotts, stockholder actions, lawsuits and
Congressional demands for FCC and FEC investigations, Sinclair backed off
its planned airing of "Stolen
Honor."

The recent New York Times article, "Kerry Pressing Swift Boat Case Long
After Loss," revealed Kerry plans to re-ignite the issue of his Vietnam
service and medals, roundly
disputed by virtually all of his former commanding officers and
shipmates who were part of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign.

According to the Times, Kerry has gathered "new evidence" to support
his claims that he is a war hero. One piece of that "new evidence" is a
"hat" the Massachusetts Senator
says was given to him during a highly disputed "secret mission" into
Cambodia on Christmas 1968.

"No matter how many versions of his four months in Vietnam Sen. Kerry
literally pulls out of his 'hat,' or the medals he shunned then
embraced, all of that is nothing but reportorial
smoke and fog designed to obscure the far more important issue - John
Kerry's deliberate betrayal of his countrymen." Col. Day added, "That
alone compelled many POWs and
most Vietnam veterans, Swift Boaters included, to stand firm against
this poser, this strutting would-be hero and turncoat."

One political analyst is far more more cynical than Col. Day. Mike
Baker says he believes that Kerry and his minions have been running around
trying to "find" documents to back
Kerry's claims.

"Kerry knows the mainstream news media will help him when allegations
re-surface during a Kerry nomination for President of the United States.
They attempted to help him the
last time by alleging war heroes were lying about Kerry's war record,"
said Baker.
