Kerry part 2

Because, of course, he should have worn a dress suit in the plane instead of a flight suit.

I just thought it was ironic. But even then, I was wrong- a nice picture to show how much Bush loves the military can't have crossed his mind for a second, it was purely accidental. He also didn't know that the thanksgiving turkey was made out of plastic

That is a controversial stance that does not appear to have any supporting data. As I recall, studies that have gone in for such comparisons found less incidence than in say WWII.

Are you saying that the Vietnam was more "civil" then WWII? (bar the Russian front, wich was a horrorible nightmare)

The comment concerns the U.S. Military and incidence of war crimes or similar atrocities based on the 71 testimony of Kerry before Congress. Kerry referenced Genghis Khan, I mentioned WWII as a easier frame of reference.

There is nothing contraversial about that stance at all , the hearings themselves provide supporting data , but the biggest supporting data would have been the Militaries own inquiries into practices used and events in Vietnam and neighbouring countries , but unfortunately the government re-classified them shortly after they were released under FOI .Apparently because the 9000pages of data contain names they cannot be released .

Tribesy, tribesy, tribesy. You just haven't found the speech yet, have you?

Still playing silly buggers eh rabbit .
Tell you what , you find any speech at all that Kerry made that friday and I will open a full page topic saying you ain't talking bullshit
hey , it don't even have to say the army is full of stupid people , any public comment from that day will do .
Until then .......

While I don't agree with all of the following, I found it interesting as it jibed well with my earlier "3 options" theme:

Yep , there are several similar ones from various media outlets in the US and elsewhere .

This whole thing is ridiculous. Why must my civil life be determined by moronic public intrigue and surreal nightmares like this?
