Wait. Wait. I thought we went into Iraq for oil, not metals!
sorry about the "metals" I wish we could edit. Check this email out. It was sent to WND.
John Kerry got three Purple Hearts in 90 days of combat in Vietnam. He didn't stay a day in the hospital. My hero, George Patton, got his nose broken three times and an arm broken twice just playing football for West Point. He received a Purple Heart in World War I by almost dying from machinegun fire.
John Kerry opted to go home after three Purple Hearts and four months of duty (one month in training). George Patton ... took tank training from the French in World War I, then trained our men and led them. After the war he wanted Congress to build tanks but they didn't listen until the blitz.
Between the wars he learned to fly and led the way in light-plane flight observation of the battlefield. You know what he did in World War II. Maybe you didn't know that after the Germans were defeated, he volunteered to fight in the Pacific. Can you imagine MacArthur and Patton together?
George Patton had a son named after him who graduated from West Point several days after he died. He fought with honor in Korea and Vietnam. He died last month and the Boston Globe reported that Patton II said Kerry's anti-war action "gave aid and comfort to the enemy and probably caused some of my guys to get killed."
