veterans group protest Kerrry
Anti-Kerry veterans group protests ad - Jun 1, 2004 apparently the veterans which serve with Kerry, don't like the idea of being associated with him.
A group of Vietnam veterans opposed to John Kerry's presidential campaign demanded Tuesday that he remove a photograph that appears in one of his television advertisements.
In Tuesday's "cease and desist" letter, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth called on Kerry's campaign to stop what it said was the unauthorized use of the images of some of them in a 60-second biographical spot titled "Lifetime." The ad began running nationwide in early May.
...
After his discharge in 1970, Kerry became an outspoken critic of U.S. policy and a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, testifying in April 1971 against the conflict before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Kerry's comments at that time that U.S. soldiers had committed "atrocities" have angered the group.
The letter charges that Kerry "tarred the entire serving military in Vietnam with his black brush." In April, Kerry expressed regret for his choice of words in 1971.
He characterized some of his comments as "over the top" and said he never intended to cast a negative light on the men with whom he served.
So he accuses his buddys of war atrocities, then uses their pictures without their permission in order to paint himself as a war hero.
