And where were you the ENTIRE month of February? His records have been gone over with a fine toothed comb.
Bush has already released all of his records. If there had been anything qustionable, we would already have seen the media firestorm.
What is your motive in trying to keep us from asking for Kerry's records?
Since Dubya released his full military & medical records, and they have been thoroughly searched by the press, etc., I highly doubt there are any other questions to ask about his National Guard service, especially in light of the fact that there have been witnesses who stepped forward and made statements that Bush was where he was supposed to be. As well, this whole shebang was brought up in the 2000 campaign without luck, and one of the major newspapers did a thorough investigation of it back then and found the story had no legs.
He threw those medals over a fence. He showed contempt for the medals he allegedly earned by throwing them over a fence. Then we come to find out he really threw someone else's medals over the fence. He wanted to keep his own medals, just in case he needed them in the future for some political advantage.
J F'n Kerry is a phoney baloney plastic bannana. He wouldn't know integrity if it bit him in the butt. But if, by chance, it did, I'm sure he'd cry about it and then apply for a forth purple heart.
But it was alright for Kerry to denigrate each and every soldier who served in Vietnam by claiming they had ALL committed atrocities on a regular basis? And as far as his medals go, he saw fit to let everyone think that he'd thrown them over the fence at the Capitol Building, so what's the big deal? If he had no respect for the medals then, whether they had been his or someone else's, why should we give him any respect about it now? Kerry is the one who has bragged repeatedly about his Vietnam service. He's the one who brought it all up first and the Democrats have touted it, and belittled the service or non-service of others. It's my opinion that Kerry opened the door for questions to be asked and his military record & medals he received are fair game.
Kerry was forefront in attempting to slander an entire generation of soldiers.
The moral equivalency argument was merely his attempt to drag us all down with him.
It's obvious to me he hasn't changed. Consider that before you pay a dime for his dance.
No it does not.
Kerry is running on his war record. Bush is not. It's Kerry's issue through and through.
I personally do not like the precedent this has set but I'd rather have the truth be told when someone is forcing the issue, as Kerry is.
Seems Mr Kerry has already been there/done that.
VIETNAM WAR VETERAN JOHN KERRY'S TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, APRIL 22, 1971
Statement of Mr. John Kerry
...I am not here as John Kerry. I am here as one member of the group of 1,000 which is a small representation of a very much larger group of veterans in this country, and were it possible for all of them to sit at this table they would be here and have the same kind of testimony....
WINTER SOLDIER INVESTIGATION
I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.... They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.(snip)
Mr Kerry's remarks were used to broad-brush all the returning Vietnam servicemen as walking war crimes. So if you know anyone who got spat on or worse when they got back, have them thank Mr. Kerry.
