flintstone, I don't know where you dug up this crap but I was there during the anti-war movement and we thought for ourselves then and were very suspicous of people trying to tell us what to do.
This crap is some wishfull thinking on this guys part and trying to "bask in some glory" of his so called past.
amazing what you believe.
As for the protest movement, most GI's were in favor of us standing upto the "establishment". You forget that the GI's were DRAFTED! In other words, they had no choice but to be there. They applauded our efforts to stop the war and bring them home.
But you don't understand any of that, you just get involved in some meaningless talk about how wrong Kerry was for stating his views and how it hurt a few prisoners. It helped to stop the war and so if a few prisoners didn't like it, well the thousands of GI's that didn't have to die or be maimed thanked him.
