Actually that's partially true...
I'm sure some of the people he dealt with a in Vietnam were Nam Veterans when he removed the issue of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in order to begin trade and normalization of relations with Vietnam in the early 90's.

Was this during his insignificant time with hanoi jane -or- his very significant time as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs?

werd.... but you gotta love the increasingly popular trend of revisionist history. in case you werent aware, the Viet Cong were actually terrorists, and gosh darn it we were doing everything in our power to protect the world from Commie terrorists.
the good news for Bush and Co is it only takes about 30 years for revisionist history to put new spin on old wars. so by as early as 2035 we will all find out that Iraq did have legit WMDs and that we truly are safer with exponentially more jihadists because of our (unnecessary) pre-emptive attacks against a Muslim country

You guys are the revisionists. The DRVN (communist puppet-state) were fighting a war of aggression against the sovereign RVN. They invaded the RVN repeatedly, in violation of international law. RVN or US never invaded the DRVN. VC terrorists were aiding this illegal agression by murdering civilians, soldiers, and officials of the lawful government of the RVN. I don't think the USA should have gotten involved in it, but to paint the VC or the DRVN as innocent parties defending themselves is insanity.

we didnt wage a 2 decade long war because we wanted to protect the south.
we waged the war because of a flawed political science theory known as the domino effect.
a theory, mind you, earily similar to our current beligerent "war on terror"

There's a very big difference in saying "bring them home" ten thousand times in a row and actually being able to do something about it as the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. I guess lifting trade embargos with Vietnam was the ends that justified the means for Kerry...
