There were enemies there who were involved in sniper fire against John Kerry, trying to take his life and kill him because he wore the uniform of the United States of America.

The new Vietnam snipers come from the Bush-Cheney campaign: Karen Hughes, sadly the Vice President, and other campaign operatives who are now attacking John Kerry because he served our country. He wore the uniform of the United States of America. He volunteered and put his life on the line in Vietnam. This shameless exercise by the Bush-Cheney campaign must be called for what it is. Many of us did not serve in the military, even those of us in the Vietnam era. We did not volunteer for service as John Kerry did. We didn't wear the uniform of our country proudly as he did.
