WaPo ^ | 01/14/2017 | Carol Morello

CA MAU, Vietnam — It could have been 1969 again as Secretary of State John F. Kerry stood on the bow of the small boat chugging up the Bay Hap River on Saturday, the wind billowing his sleeves and his eyes darting left and right toward banks shrouded in dark foliage.

As a young Navy lieutenant, Kerry commanded a Swift boat along this stretch of churning brown waters in the middle of a free-fire zone. Here, he earned a Silver Star for his heroics when he leapt ashore after an ambush to pursue a fleeing Viet Cong with a grenade launcher and shot him dead.

Even in the age of fake news WaPo continues to lead the pack. Kerry is a 'rat plain and simple.

I don’t believe this story. It’s so contrived.

Sorry I tried to read the article.

It insisted I had to enter my email address.

Nope. Not reading that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I believe he also got one of his purple hearts from this action, which required nothing more than a Band-Aid.

Yeah, getting a kernal of rice stuck in your a$$ is extremely life threatening.

Well, when you get to write the after-action reports and recommend yourself for those medals, you can contrive all you want.

Staged, contrived, and dishonest.

Some things never change.

It's a site cookie thing but in all honesty I couldn't read more than the excerpt.
I felt one of my fits coming on when I go to ranting and foaming at the mouth. My bride does not deserve such behavior so I quit.

I wonder if under Obama’s rules of engagement, Kerry would be tried for murder.

Yeah he got wounded in his fat tush. He was such a slime he stole bottles of booze from the base,then sold it along the Mekong river. There is a special place in hell for pond scum like him.

No one, NO ONE, tried to kill Lurch the Gigolo.

Why?

Because that chicken-lipped yellow back bastard never got even close to combat.

And when he was even relatively far, rest assured he got some real Navy sailers between him and anything dangerous.

His “wound” (requiring two, that’s TWO whole bandaids”) was probably administered by him.

Shove it up your slimy Obama-visited nether region, Lurch.

I’d doubt it. He did frag himself so all is forgiven.
