Gen. Giap: Kerry’s Group Helped Hanoi Defeat U.S.

The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that
finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by
Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve
victory.

In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it
weren’t for organizations like Kerry’s Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi
would have surrendered to the U.S. – according to Fox News Channel war historian
Oliver North.

That’s why, he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue “is going to
blow up in Kerry’s face.”

“People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren’t for these
guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost,” North told radio host Sean Hannity.

“The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert,
encouraged people to mutiny – some used what they wrote to justify fragging
officers,” noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple
hearts in Vietnam.

“John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands,” North said.
