not necessarily, the picture was for the medals received for action on 2/28...all in picture were recognized for action....alston wasn't there on 2/28....
You'd think Kerry and Tereeza could scrape up enough leftover change from those botox treatments and ketchup sales to spring for a little surgical work on their friend's scalp. Sheesh.
---The window of opportunity was 41 days for him to have served under Kerry, Feb 1 thru March 13. You will not find anyone placing him on the PCF-94 during this window of opportunity. ---
We're all witnesses here to The Bandit, quite possibly putting Alston in the bag along with Kerry and putting a major spear into the side of the Democratic monster itself!
We happy few! We band of brothers! :^)
Good train of thought. But, before it gets anywhere, it has to be rock solid, bulletproof. Eyewitness, national archive bulletproof.
Please look closely at the picture . . .
The crewmember on the left (without a shirt) has the sun hitting his face from the left and the shadow cast is to the right.
John Kerry (on the right) has the sun hitting his face from the right and the shadow cast to the left.
I am no expert, and maybe some of the photo savvy freepers can look closer. Is registered still around??
It is solid enough for the media to pick up and start asking pointed questions and research. I've done my job by pointing out the fraud....
He's kinda' caught between a rock and a hard place now.
Nobody gives a sh!t what he did 30 years ago when it comes to being President and he has spent 30 years using his service to promote himself as a Presidential candidate.
To his own demise he can not use as a foundation for his run, the years he has spent as a Senator!
If it wasn't for actual votes that Kerry will get, I would laugh him off as a satire in MAD MAGAZINE.
As I said, I'm not proficient enough to analyze the photo. Maybe Registered or one of the other experts here can confirm/deny the observation??
His "casualty" report, perhaps?
Anyway, great research, good eye for detail.
No. Not "clearly." But it's definitely a possibiity.
Still, if Alston was never a member of Kerry's crew, what was that photo all about?
Because they became friends? Because Alston was wounded? Kerry and his crew has only placed Alston on the 94 and NO WHERE ELSE. Alston has said he was Kerry's gunner on the 94. Alston cannot prove he was on the 94 with Kerry because he cannot. If he could he would be recalling specific missions with Kerry, he does not because he cannot. The ball is in Alston's court if he wants to clear the air where and how he was able to serve under Kerry's command as a gunner. I am 99.9% sure he cannot.
Could it be that Kerry's camera and production crew are hiding behind journalistic immunity?
major bump
I know him from a small boat in Vietnam, where we fought and bled together, serving our country. There were six of us aboard PCF-94, a 50-foot, twin-engine craft known as a "Swift Boat." We all came from different walks of life, but all of us-including our skipper, John Kerry-volunteered for combat duty. And combat is what we got.
I don't know about your Swift Boat directory proving anything one way or another. It doesn't even list Kerry on the 44 or 94. That's pretty inaccurate - unless Kerry just took over those boats without telling anyone - or? The directory just doesn't seem all that accurate.
Can you spell "implosion" bump.
In this case the scalp injury could have been quite severe, or may have been a bandaid shrapnel wound like Kerry sustained. We will not know without his medical records.
