The new Swiftboaters

in the late afternoon on Saturday, the 28th of August 2004 by Chad

In the mid 1960’s thousands of young American men left their families, homes and jobs and went to fight for their country in Southeast Asia. These brave men went from their farms, factories and offices to the rice paddies of Vietnam to fight for freedom in what they believed was a patriotic and noble cause. Many of them never returned. Others were shot down and captured behind enemy lines. They were forced to suffer years of brutal treatment at the hands of the Communist captors.
Their horrifying days of darkness, starvation and torture were made worse by the actions of a young American Officer named John Kerry. As these American heroes suffered in inhuman conditions, John Kerry sat comfortably in the warm glow of television lights to tell a Senate Committee that these same men were “Ëœwar criminals’.

Stolen Honor is going to be a documentary about Vietnam POWs and the effect John Kerry had on them.
I feel that this documentary may have even more effect on the debate than the Swift Boat veterans. That may always be a debate on exactly what happened in combat, while this is the what happened after, documented in the public record.
