Swift Boat Vets Fiasco

I thought I'd chime in on the current event plaguing the news: the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. Now, I am far too young to have much to say about the whole Vietnam thing, and really only know about it from the movies I have seen, which is to say, not very much. War is never an easy thing to deal with. There are always those who believe that it was wholly unnecessary to put so many lives on the line. With Mr. Kerry touting his brave service to his country through his 4 whole months in Vietnam and his subsequent smearing of all the efforts of our troops by testifying to the Senate and protesting the war for the whole world to see, I believe he has brought all this upon himself. To say that the Swift Boat Vets for Truth T.V. ad should be removed from the airwaves is wholly unfair. If it is removed, then "documentaries" like Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 should be removed from theaters, T.V., and DVD. Only then would it be fair. Then you would have the liberals crying that their "free speech" has been trampled on. They should concede that free speech is for EVERYBODY and not just themselves!!
This article from the National Review puts it in the perspective of all those vets who are trying to defend their part in that war and regaining the honor John Kerry took from them.

Oh yes, the swift boat was supposedly one of the worst places to be during the Vietnam war, and anyone who survived it would surely have gone through a lot. i just think the whole thing is more he said/she said type thing that will never be resolved. Of course, it only solidifies my opposition to Kerry.
