Is John Kerry a traitor?
Now, the term traitor is defined as someone who gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Aid and Comfort are physical things. Johnny Taliban was a traitor, because he had a rifle and was firing at our troops. He was aiding the enemy. Just badmouthing American soldiers doesn't make you a traitor.
Kerry didn't cross the lines in Viet Nam. As far as we know, he didn't ship off money, or weapons, or any other kind of material support that could be considered aiding and comforting. So ask yourself, is he a traitor?
Hmmmmmmm.....
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S.
He may not be a traitor in the technical sense, but he's treachery's second cousin.
