VFW or VVAW

Kerry just finished his speach to the Veterans of Foreign War, a group he roundly criticized back in the 70s, but whose support he now desperatly wants.

While he hit on a number of issues that should have recieved overwhelming support from the VFW their support of him was tepid at best - and the light applause you heard was more akin to manners than actual support.

Of course, I was hoping the VFW would riot and chant and send Kerry back to the mansion, but alas, these Veterans have more class, and respect for the office Kerry seeks, than to engage in that behaviour (even if Kerry doesn't deserve the slightest bit of respect).
