John Kerry, 1971

Vietnam was a mess and nobody knew it better than the soldiers who went there to defend American foreign policy under the direction of Nixon and LBJ.

I was 5 in 1971 and I have no memory of John Kerry's memorable speech before Congress in which he famously asked, "Because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

Now that I am an adult I can listen to and appreciate a young John Kerry standing up and telling the truth in a loud clear voice:

Wouldn't it be refreshing to have a President stand before the American people and tell the truth?
