So I was talking to someone about Kerry from Blogs For Bush. He and his girlfriend were having an argument about how important Kerry really was in the anti-war movement.
I wrote him back and said it probably doesn’t matter to the veterans, that they were upset with the whole movement and Kerry just represents that.
From BlackFive some confirmation. For many veterans, Kerry has become the poster child for the anti-war movement. It may not be fair, but frankly, Kerry’s real problem for me on Vietnam is his obliviousness. He has yet to apologize for any of his anti-war activities. The best he’s said is that “he regets some of the words he used.
They’re two words John: “I’m sorry”.

I’m not so sure that Kerry saying sorry would change the minds of the vets who view him as a turn coat. Now, he’s in that unfortunate sphere of everything he says and does is to win the election and the apology would not be taken seriously.
My problem with Kerry is his parading around with his “war record” on his chest like a metal. A lot more men did a hell of a lot more in Vietnam than he did and a lot of those boys were there a hell of a lot longer than Kerry was. He should have taken a lesson from McCain and said “that was another time … this is now” and dropped the war alltogether.
