You're welcome as always! :)

Please ping for part 2. Good work!!! Scary, but good!!!

[Fedora]

Will be sure to ping you. It is scary, especially when I think about how the media is helping keep questions about Kerry's VVAW and other activity below the radar screen.

"There's only one way to settle this: Clinton, Gore, and Kerry should have a contest to see who's the pinkest! To make sure the judging is fair, Jimmy Carter will supervise. . ."


I went to bed, so missed this one. Jimmah Carter, that man of "peace" and religion... would not understand the "contest".

He would say "BUSH".

Thanks for the ping on that and remembering that I'd read the book.

You are welcome.

Interesting thing, your description of this book reminds me of what my thoughts were as a 16-17 year old. I graduated in l974, my history class visited WDC, including the White House in fall of 1973. Quite a "searing" event to see a president being forced out of office via the help of what was dubbed "Deep Throat".

Those MIA's have always bothered me, and the attempt of the left from Hollywood to the leftist leaders to portray this war as "unjust" to the criminal was 'satanic'.

Much thanks goes to my father, who served in Korea, came home with the colors to a parade in New York City. The NYTimes gave a small column describing that parade about soldiers passing out due to the heat and their hot uniforms. My dad told about being ordered to get out of uniform as soon as the parade was over, because the military did not want to piss off the "commies" in town as they were getting ready for their "MAY" day celebration.

This haunted my father till the day he died, that he was sent to Korea to fight the "commies" yet upon his return home he needed to get out of uniform so as not to piss them off.

The Vietnam story was never given the rightful perspective to this nation, that it was Soviet Communism that was setting up shop in Vietnam and it was the Soviets along with China continuing to secretly and not so secretly fund the North Vietnam warriors as well as setting up shop in our faces in this nation.

What JFKerry did upon his return was to establish this same methodology of "terrorist" underground in this nation with plenty of help from the likes of his father.

This war in Iraq which JFKerry and his "like minded" groupies have attempted to "recreate" into a "reenactment" of Vietnam is EVIL.

JFKerry phone call over the weekend to a former Navy Commander is quite telling. JFKerry has lived his life plotting and planning to get power and authority to once and for all establish himself as "king" because he is far superior in a sense of royalty.

I used to have a POW bracelet which I lost in college in Boston. My parents lived near D.C. and we visited the Vietnam Memorial often and I wondered whether that POW ever made it home.

The mythology surrounding our Vietnam vets and others is sad and has been created by the sKerry's of the world and Hollyweird.

That our soldiers, who have served so bravely, should be made to feel shamed is a national digrace!

Bump for later reading.

Thanks for the link! Have added you to the ping list.

Saw you posted the thread linked in #75, so I thought you might be interested in this one.

[P.O.E.]

I just read Unfit for Command yesterday and it would not surprise me in the least if Kerry's personal leanings are Communist

His strident anti-war and pro-internationalism has convinced me.

I was trying to search for an explanation why Kerry would use the KJW initials on the reports he submitted. I thought maybe the W. was his Holy Communion name. As a Roman Catholic, he would have received one when he made his First Communion.

When I was born, my parents never bothered to give me a middle name, but as a Catholic going through your First Holy Communion, you are required (at least you were back then), to pick a name. Mine was Marie. Call me stupid, but for many years, I believe that my middle name was really Marie and even used it when I applied for my original Social Security card (back in the '60's). It wasn't until several years later that I discovered I have no middle name on my birth certificate. Boy! what a let down that was. Out of the four kids, I was the only one who didn't have a middle name. I retired last year, and just recently, I went to the Social Security office and applied to get a new card with only my first and last name...no middle initial. I figured I'd better do it before I'm 62 and have all sorts of trouble processing my papers for my SS check.

Anyway, to get back to Kerry's initials on those reports. I know that the Left is trying to say that Kerry did not write his medal commendations. That may be true, but he may also have embellished the after action reports so much that the brass had no choice but recommend him for his awards. According to the Swift Vets, Kerry actually volunteered to write all the reports. For someone like Kerry, who apparently enjoyed writing enough to keep a lengthy journal of his Vietnam stay, I can certainly believe that he would jump at the chance to write these reports, especially if he could use them to his advantage.

Today I was listening to Mark Levin's radio program. Mark read comments from Kerry's 1971 Senate Testimony. Below are segments of that testimony. They are found under the Subtitle: ACCURACY OF INFORMATION THROUGH OFFICIAL MILITARY CHANNELS

Kerry is asked by Senator Symington: "Mr. Kerry, from your experience in Vietnam do you think it is possible for the President or Congress to get accurate and undistorted information through official military channels."

Kerry replies: "I had direct experience with that. Senator, I had direct experience with that and I can recall often sending in the spot reports which we made after each mission; and including the GDA, gunfire damage assessments, in which we would say, maybe 15 sampans sunk or whatever it was. And I often read about my own missions in the Stars and Stripes and the very mission we had been on had been doubled in figures and tripled in figures."

He continues on, mentioning friends of his who are intelligence officers [I didn't realize Kerry had any friends in Vietnam], and made suggestions regarding how intelligence info could be collected.

Then he says this: "I also think men in the military, sir, as do men in many other things, have a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."

In two paragraphs, John Kerry has provided us with the information that I believe proves he and no one else wrote and submitted all the after-action, damage, casualty, etc. reports from which all of his medals were derived. He even admits that ALL men, including himself, filed reports that contained information that was in all liklihood, not factual.
