Thank you General Brady for your devotion and patriotism. I don't believe any sane individual enters war in the attempt to decorate their "fruit salad". No one knows whether they are hero material until confronted with the decision to risk all to save others. That instantaneous decision is what seperates the heroes from mortal soldiers and its not anything we can prepare for. As an officer, you are entitled the salute but as a recipient of the CMH, a salute alone is not enough to show our gratitude for men of your calibre. My utmost respect has always gone to the Vietnam vets and the personal hardships/tragedies that they have had to endure due to the liberal mindset. May the senator from Massachusetts get his just desserts for the credibility hole that he himself has dug!

G.H.W Bush flew over 60 combat mission--under REAL enemy fire.That's right...he also got shot down and spent more time in the water than Kerry did in any of his six swimming pools.....got a DFC....THE HARD WAY!

Re: 3 Purple Heart Rule
I think that there is a killer story here.
Kerry was awarded 3 purple hearts in 4 months, not to mention his other two medals.
1. How many other Vietnam vets/officers were awarded 3 purple hearts?
2. What was the shortest time period during which 3 purple hearts were earned?
3. How many of these vets/officers got out of their tour of duty early?
4. Was any other soldier serving on swift boats awarded 3 purple hearts?
Compare Kerry's outcomes with answers to questions 1-4.
Recipe for TOAST.

No, sir, while your service to your fellow men and women here and to come was noble, and for some -- the highest of nobility! Still ... this is America. In America we do NOT suffer a class of "nobility", any claim to that title of "noble" no matter how hard won.
It was a great man , a bold, persistant, persevering in the face of numerous long and diffcult obstacles and suffering, a mighty and heroic man, a humble man, who laid the great stone and carved into it the words of that ban. George Washington, fellow citizen.

You have it exactly right. The most telling statement from Kerry applies equally to VietNam and Iraq: "I was for the war before I was against it." He wants to play both sides of the street at all times -- a man of zero principles.

Kerry may be the only person in history who took advantage of a Navy regulation that allowed him to leave his command after 4 months for 3 purple hearts none of which ever caused him to miss a day of duty.Refute that, Kerry, you pathetic Clymer.

Whether Kerry and Fonda have blood on their hands is debatable... No it isn't.

I'm sure there are people who would find it debatable...there are people who believe Michael Moore tells the truth.

GHW Bush had an 8mm film made during his WWII adventures. Unlike Curry this action was not staged! Indeed, he was featured on an episode of Navy Log as TV series that ran from 1955-58. In it the story was told of a picket line of US submarines that were performing search and rescue missions during the time when Bush senior was shot down. One of the sub crew members filmed Bush's rescue.
Prez Bush senior earned the DFC but I remember during the '92 campaigh he was referred to as a coward by the Dimbulbs. They have no shame.
