oliver norths letter is a joke. kerry is a war hero that volunteered for combat and he had every right to protest the vietnam war afterwards. we lost over 56,000 american lives and spent billions of dollars on a war that our government walked out of. the vietnam war was fought politically and not to win. our men were taken advantage of by our government. and as far as this election is concerned, your lives and security are in your own hands and it will take kerry to preserve your lives. bush will destroy social security and medicare by privitizing it and cut benefits. and bush mislead the American people into a war with Iraq that was totally unecessary. bush will destroy the country. kerry will be an effective leader that will defend the U.S. with honor and bring back our allies to fight terrorism more effectively. we need a change and kerry has fresh ideas. he is no JFK, but he will bring a special inspiration to all of us that will bring America back into the right direction. please vote for kerry and god bless you all.
