John Kerry was not the problem with Vietnam.
The Vietnamese people proclaimed their own independence 1945 after a combined French and Japanese occupation and before the communist revolution in China. They were led by Ho Chi Minh. Even though they quoted the American Declaration of Independence in their own document of freedom, the United States refused to recognize them. Instead, we decided to support France in its reconquest of her former colony. Our government felt then that the Vietnamese people were not ready for independence, and we again fell victim to the deadly Western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long. With that tragic decision we rejected a revolutionary government seeking self-determination and a government that had been established not by China, for whom the Vietnamese have no great love, but by clearly indigenous forces that included some communists. For the peasants this new government meant real land reform, one of the most important needs in their lives.
For nine years following 1945 we denied the people of Vietnam the right of independence. For nine years we vigorously supported the French in their abortive effort to recolonize Vietnam. Before the end of the war we were meeting eighty percent of the French war costs. Even before the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu, they began to despair of their reckless action, but we did not. We encouraged them with our huge financial and military supplies to continue the war even after they had lost the will. Soon we would be paying almost the full costs of this tragic attempt at recolonization.
Our troops payed the full price for a wrong-minded, hypocritical foreign policy during the Vietnam war. It was painful, and many troops did not know the source of the pain, i.e. flawed political policy. John Kerry was heroic in battle, and heroic in the cause of setting straight the flawed foreign policy of that war. To ridicule John Kerry, in that regard suggests no small amount of ignorance. Then, Republicans possess no small amount of ignorance.
