News From the Vietnam Front

The Los Angeles Daily News has a nice article on the Vietnamese-American attitude toward John Kerry. It mentions the 'Vietnam Veteran Against Kerry' protest in DC on Sunday that a large Viet-Am group was to attend, and Dan at Dislogue blog was there to cover the event (with pictures). Interesting quote from Dan:


"It was interesting that the ABB crowd does have a counterpart here. This was an ABK crowd. I don't think I heard Bush's name once from the speakers, nor from the crowd. Many in the crowd had W pins, or wore Bush 04 on something, but they were a minority. The emphasis was very much on making plain that John Kerry was not a suitable leader for the United States military. It is summed up well thus: our young men and women fighting now in Afghanistan and Iraq deserve our best commander. That would not be John Kerry."

Dislogue doesn't specifically mention seeing the Vietnamese-American group, but you can see in the photos a large yellow backdrop on the stage with three red stripes, which is the old South Vietnamese flag.
