Lots of people came back disillusioned with the war. Kerry was against it because he didn't want to see his comrades killed anymore, how is that a traitor? I love how the right defines being against war as being against the troops. It would seem intuitive that those of us who want to keep the troops out of harms way are really for the troops and the right-wingers who want to march them off to die their enemies. hermangwynn2, what side are you on do you want the troops to die or live? Kerry wanted them to live, so where does that leave you? Anyway, the person who protests the war and the person that supports it are equally traitors in so far as neither of them truly are beyond there own inability to transcend their egomania.
