I do believe that was during the Vietnam War, not the war in Iraq. It was President Clinton that wrote a letter stating > that he "loathed the military".

(Just in case you missed it, by the way, Hillary Clinton happens to be quite the Iraq war hawk.) I could go on and on and pull up plenty of > quotes that might make you feel uncomfortable.

Why don't you try to find a quote from an antiwar activist claiming the military are doing a lousy job? As Barry would say, we'll wait.

Hmm, I do believe that was the Vietnam War as well. > It was > John Effin Kerry that came back and testified before congress > that his comrades were war criminals. Actually, Kerry was repeating stories that the vets themselves had related *about* themselves. He didn't accuse them of anything they hadn't accused themselves of. And he was always totally supportive of the troops. Again, it was the government he was criticizing, never the troops themselves. > Do I need to go on? No, that's quite enough; don't embarrass yourself any further. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
