Burkett, whose book, "Stolen Valor," is considered to be the definitive history of falsified Vietnam War claims, told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg that Kerry's former commanders would allege that the top Democrat's Purple Hearts were awarded for "self-reported injuries that were virtually nonexistent."

Burkett's book was among the first to expose many of the phony claims made by John Kerry about U.S. war atrocities.....

It's about time this 'war hero' myth is dismantled, and the whole truth is told about this menace.

Let's see if he'll try to wiggle out of this one or just ignore it and say it's time to move on....

I knew it

Nobody that acts like he does was a real hero

Well, well, well. It looks like Jug has been busy.

I've had Burkett's book since 1999. Back when he was selling it himself. By himself. I chatted with him on and off for most of a day and purchased a copy of his book. One thing is for sure, when it comes to people that lie about their military history Jug is the best at exposing them. Because it really gripes him.

If only guys on our side like Hannity etc weren't so intimidated by his "war hero" status.

[tongue-tied]

I've been hearing of this recently, but never see the follow on story where they actually say it publicly.


Maybe this is an October surprise waiting to break. Oh please let this be true. Then Kerry is really finished.

Several Navy officers who supervised Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry when he commanded a swift boat in Vietnam are preparing to publicly question his war record -- including the circumstances under which he was awarded three Purple Hearts -- a noted Vietnam War historian revealed this past weekend.

Burkett, whose book, "Stolen Valor," is considered to be the definitive history of falsified Vietnam War claims, told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg that Kerry's former commanders would allege that the top Democrat's Purple Hearts were awarded for "self-reported injuries that were virtually nonexistent." Burkett's book was among the first to expose many of the phony claims made by John Kerry about U.S. war atrocities. In "Stolen Valor" Burkett also revealed that Kerry did not discard his war medals, as he claimed in the 1970s.

"He never got a day of treatment, he never spent a day in a medical facility," Burkett said, commenting on Kerry's "wounds."

"These were all self-reported wounds, which you're going to hear from some swift boat guys in the future as to the nature of those wounds." Burkett said he had personally spoken to the Navy commanders who were preparing to go public about Kerry's decorations.

"You're going to get quite a showing [of those speaking out]," Burkett told Malzberg. "I don't know [the number] yet. They're trying to get it to be unanimous of every swift boat guy who ever served."

As to the timetable for the upcoming revelations, Burkett said that Kerry's superior officers "were still discussing that." "You've got some major rallies being planned against John Kerry by Vietnam veterans on the mall, at the convention -- this type of thing," he said. "And we're going to make America aware of John Kerry's military record."

The lamestream media will aid and abet Kerry to wiggle around and out of this mess.

[Dutch Boy]

Even worse... Those that vote for Kerry are voting againt Bush. The dems could run with a corpse and most would still vote for him. Wait a minute.... They did that last time.
