Are people who spread vicious lies about our brave soldiers who risk (or have risked) their lives traitors?

Oscar Himpflewitz

~Given the way you loaded your question, you don't care what I think. However, one who would have me arrested for speaking my mind would certainly be a traitor to the Constitution which John Kerry was sworn to uphold and protect. Slander is one thing, treason is quite another. There is an appropriate remedy in place for each. Confusing the two is not only stupid, but dangerous. When one surrenders (or rescinds) rights under the guise of patriotism (does the term "Patriot Act" come to mind?), one embraces despotism and enslavement.

You know what bothers me!!!!! PEOPLE HOLDING PROTESTS AT OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS FUNERALS. THAT IS EVIL

Because other brave soldiers who served with Kerry say he shot himself (in order to get enough purple hearts to be sent home). Thatâ€™s brave an honorable service? or are you calling the other soldiers who "served bravely and honoraboy" (honorably) traitors and liars?

Having served doesnâ€™t make you perfect. But our service men (and women) should receive the benefit of the doubt until all the facts are in.

Where was this outrage when Clinton (and outright admitted draft dodger) was running against Bush Sr (who served) and Dole (who served and received life long injuries)

It is outrageous. I mean, there are some bad people out there who slip through the cracks and make it into the military. It seems like a lot of people let those few bad seeds give us the impression for soldiers as a whole. My bf bravely served in Iraq. He chose to join the military to defend and keep our country free. I say to all those people who want to talk crap.. maybe we should draft them over there.

Cassie

i agree with you! I think the ones slandering should go out there and see how it is!

Ha! Invisible!

Darn straight they are!

I also think it is an outrage. Love him or hate him John Kerry or any other American that risked their life should be treated with dignity and respect. Those are the people that chose to do what most of us wouldn't and entered our armed forces, they protect the rights that allow us to sit here and talk **** about them. So be it him or Joe Blow on the street they all deserve the upmost respect.

I don't think anyone is sperading lies about his service. Maybe it's the truth that bothers him.

I think the authority on him being brave or not rests with those who served with him and under him. Getting shot doesn't make you brave, even cowards die in war. If those who served with him say he was a good man then let it be as they say, if not then he wasn't. It's does not matter if you like him or not, the ones who really knew him then were there with him, regardless of what he claims, I'll take their word over his.

Anyone who has been in combat knows that the people around you can mean your life, so you know which ones you can trust.

Soldiers must be glorified because they fight for the country in order that citizens can sleep peacefully at night while they are at war in other countries for preemptive terrorism at home.

John Kerry is no hero by any stretch of the immagination. He is a skate. I will never ever recognize that traitorous pig for his service in Vietnam. I just wish one of his self inflicted wounds would have gotten him between the eyes.

Curt

I don't know if John Kerry is a good example.

Kerry got a shrapnel wound and his commander refused to award him a purple heart because it was believed that it might of been accidentally self inflicted. That is far from being "shot".

He was also an anti-war activist. These are FACTS.

angel g

The fact that he did whatever he did over in Vietnam does NOT counter act all the SH*T he came back and said .... he & the morons like Jane Fonda endangered our military & likely caused more to die.
Kerry IS a traitor & anyone who cannot see that has very selective sight/hearing.

seadog0067

Kerry couldnt come up with proof for how he received certain medals in 'nam. Hero?

black witch

Kerry......is that u?

Lone solider

Not official traitors but certainly certified b@#*&es. In the world of "hate the US" they are heroes. To rational people of world(you and the rest of the monirity) belive it enbolden the enemy(the Islamic Fascist)and will cost us more lives

nay

I don't think that was right. I didn't vote for him. But I do not like when people slam and dig in other peoples military history. What happens over seas should stay over seas.

ihatehippies

I think you are currently spreading lies about his service. Unless you were there with him, you have no idea if he was brave or not. However, people who served with him said he was a puss.

cristanine

Kerry is overrated.

jpgregory2001

I think they are stupid and jealous that they did not serve (chickens)

Reba K

We still have a constitutional right to freedom of speech which must be protected, even if we don't agree. Fight for your own opinion!! Democracy is slow and stupid (well, much slower with Bush in office) but eventually it works

crazy b

not traitors ,but usually the enemy.

Tripwire

Yeah sure! Anyone who spreads vicious lies about others is a piece of garbage.

Duque de Alba

This soldier worship BS has to stop! America hasn't been in an honorable war since WWII, and hasn't won one since.
It's not honorable to be shot or die in an unjust war. Period. Bravery and honor does not go hand in hand. I'm sure there were many instances of Nazi bravery, but that doesn't make them honorable. This macho military worship thing is sickening.

briang731/ bvincent

I think if the shoe fits, wear it! In the case of John Kerry, it is his own peer group that is the first to slander him for his antics in Vietnam. There are those who have suggested that Kerry had an agenda to get himself rotated back to the world by garnering 3 Purple Hearts.
It is suggested, quite convincingly I might add, that Kerry would deliberately place himself in harms way to catch a fragment from a grenade that he himself threw, or would otherwise find a way to receive enough injury to qualify for a purple heart, but not so much that it would cause serious and debilitating injury. John Kerry's wounds were all superficial, and to my recollection none were injuries due to being shot.
If you choose to call me a traitor, go ahead, but say it to my face, so I can in turn, rips yours off. I will also say that John Kerry is a gutless wonder who will never serve this country in any greater capacity than he has already. You see boy, this phony is despised by most veterans.
One more thing genius, I was serving this country as a US Marine when Kerry was still pissin in his pants, so don't preach to me about the virtues of MR. Liberal, the other senator from Massachusetts.

GO ANGEL G I AGREE 1000000 %% DID HE GET SHOT WITH bb gun or paintball he's full of Bs been there in Nam

Victor Bout

This coming from someone who's hobby is to slander the war in Iraq, get a life troll...

Hanoi John Kerry is a commie traitor and lied about me and the other Vietnam veterans who served honorably
in Vietnam as baby killers and all this untrue garbage in 1971 and while still in the US Naval Reserves went to Paris and had a meeting with the North Vietnam delegation to help end the war. He violated his oath of office to the US and to the US Navy. This SOB did not serve honorably or bravely in Vietnam. His so called "wounds" wer nothing , but band-aid cuts.
His medals are a big question also. Hanoi john kerry is unfit for command and the Senate of the USA!!!
As for the rest of your question, it is slanderous and traitorous for "people" who have never served in the US Military to spread vicious lies about them. These people should be rounded up and sent into the military to see what it is like to be on call 24/7 and to risk your life.BTW,
Hanoi John Kerry was never shot.
