Don’t Play the Vietnam Card with ME, John Kerry

WSJ’s OpinionJournal [1] has an excellent commentary from LAURA BARTHOLOMEW ARMSTRONG, who is the daughter of Lt. Col. Roger J. “Black Bart” Bartholomew, who was a First Air Cavalry rocket artillery helicopter pilot killed in Vietnam on Thanksgiving Day 1968,w he the author was eight years old. she is a former journalist with a military newspaper, a U.S. Marine widow.

She has some rather biting comments toward Mr. Kerry.
She points out among other things that for all the lip service given ‘supporting the troups, she remembers the Democrats sending hundreds of lawyers …

“…to Florida in 2000 to make sure military absentee ballots did not get counted (some sources say that two out of three military voices in Florida were never heard). That was after the Clinton administration initiated rules making it more difficult to vote on overseas military bases.”

She goes on:

“Mr. Kerry has tried to distance himself from some anti-war activists and surround himself with veterans, yet his anti-military voting record speaks much louder and resonates with those of us who are affected by the results.”

A worthy read, and the Democrat’s worst nightmare come true.
