May 3: Vietnam Vet Believes McCain Answer As Leader
Sen. Barack Obama says he will bring "change we can believe in" to America, if he becomes president of the United States.

So far, in his campaign, I have yet to hear him really tell the truth about anything. He constantly misquotes Sen. John McCain! i.e., "100 years in Iraq."

In his speeches he has more salad than meat. For a man who has a Harvard law degree, he still is a "rookie lawyer" with "more degrees than temperature" and experience.

Obama does not know a thing about the military and like Sen. Clinton he hates the military. He is not qualified to be commander in chief. He never served in RTC; the National Guard; reserves or any branch of the armed forces of the United States.

I doubt he even knows who was America's first black general.

I am an Army NCO, Vietnam veteran, "Agent Orange" victim, 100 percent disabled, with 16 1/2 years of military services to this great and wonderful country - the only country on God's green earth fit to die for, whether Rev. Jeremiah Wright likes it or not!

Without any reserve, any retreat or any regret, I will support and vote for McCain for president of the United States. He is a "duty - honor country" patriot, a "true blue" American that loves this great nation and her people. He is the kind of man I want in the White House. In wartime, and all the time.

Sen. Obama has the endorsement of Jane Fonda, too! Vietnam vets, we all remember "Hanoi Jane," don't we? Do you want a president like this? I should think not!

Jane Fonda went to North Vietnam curing the Vietnam War and had her picture taken with the North Vietnamese (communists) soldiers as she set behind an anti-aircraft gun! These guns were used to shoot down and kill pilots, and I had two first cousins who were B-52 Air Force pilots during the war!

This is not the "change" I want for America; this is why I cannot support Obama now, or ever. Veterans make sure you vote, for McCain!
