Kerry used to enjoy a nice Steak when he was sitting on a Navy Destroyer off the Coast of Vietnam.
When I was on Market Time patrol in Vietnam on board small Coast Guard cutters, we never had fresh food and our milk was powdered or evaporated. Sometimes we would have the occasion to rendezvous with a destroyer who would give us fresh fruits, steaks, and most coveted of all was fresh whole milk! Now Moochelle’s program will ban whole milk for sailors. Bummer.
“sitting on a Navy Destroyer off the Coast of Vietnam”
DLG-34 1968 and again 1969. We had grilled steaks on the helo deck one weekend. I downed four steaks, plus another one for mid rats.
As far as I know, kerry never served aboard a destroyer, off Vietnam or anywhere else. He was a swift boat guy.
I can't recall having nice steaks on my destroyer off the coast. If we did, I don't remember it. (Of course, I wasn't eating in the wardrrom either. Maybe the officers did.)
