If Kerry, and people like him, had not returned and informed the American people of the reality of Vietnam, then thousands more would have died. He helped save a generation of 16-17 year olds from that horror. There's nothing shameful about being a whistleblower. That takes good strong character. Protecting the good of the people of this nation is more important than protecting a corrupt administration.
Do these anti-Kerry people honestly think it would have been better if everyone just shut up and pretended everything in Vietnam was going great? I doubt it ... but ... that's what they want us to do now about Iraq .. so, I dunno, maybe protecting a fantasy is more imporant to them than facing real problems.
