Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry (apparently new web site)
Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry ^ | on or before January 21, 2004 | U.S. Veteran Dispatch

On the campaign trail, White House wannabe Sen. John Forbes Kerry regularly mentions his Vietnam War combat experience, during which he received three purple hearts, the Silver Star and Bronze Star. However, the Massachusetts Democrat doesn't like to talk much about how he received the awards or the time after he returned home when he was rubbing shoulders with Hanoi Jane Fonda as a much-celebrated organizer for one of America's most radical pro-communist groups.

"Then he gets out early"

What? What? Surely not, surely he didn't leave military service early! Not to politic! Why is it President Bush gets berated for taking leave from military service to politic for his father and Kerry is not questioned about his early departure? Inquiring minds want to know.

Did you ever serve in Vietnam? Did you ever serve in the military? From your comments I doubt it. I did both. The accusations against Bush of being AWOL are fabricated leftist rhetoric. Even the Washington Post admits that. Bush did not lie about WMDs. If he lied then Clinton lied. He had the same impressions as a result of faulty intelligence. I could care less if Clinton took advantage of his position and used Monica for his own sexual gratification. What I care about is the fact that he perjured himself in a court of law and lied to the American people. You should take a few moments to think, research for yourself and not mindlessly spout lies from the Left.

Oh, yeah, I have no problems getting laid. Your comment on that is a typical Leftist strategy when you have nothing of substance to say.

I was in Vietnam the same time as Kerry.

I salute you for your honorable Vietnam service.

You don't think for one moment that the press will trash one of their own do you, they are so much for the Democrats that no mater what they do,say, or want seem to be perfectlly acceptable to them and they will go so far as to make sure you read about it over,and over, until you start to believe it is fact, just for example look at the gun issue, if the Dem's. and press had their way the Second Amendment would be History.
I hope that Ollie North will get in the middle of this but, I am afraid that if he does he will be looking for a new JOB, if you understand what I'm saying.

A good soldier does not necessarily make a good leader. Look at his leadership in the Senate it does not exist.

3 purple hearts? Two of them required no lost duty time. Almost like on a construcion job and stepping on a nail or somthing falling on you and having to get some minor medical treatment. The other one did relieve him of duty for a couple of days, and then back to duty. The same Purple Heart is given for a lost limb or a piece of shrapnel leaving a 1" long cut on an arm or leg. He is riding this donkey into the ground.

So I guess that Clinton had nothing to do with the military personnel that died in Bosnia. I don't seem to recall the UN supporting that one either.

BTW...Bush provided documented proof that he was on reserve duty when Kerry's lackeys claim he was AWOL. Kerry should either have been court martialed for all the murders by American service men in Nam that he claims he witnessed but did not attempt to stop or report to his superiors or brought up on perjury charges for lying before Congress if he didn't really witness the murders.

He was there, in combat, risking his life for our country.

Benedict Arnold also served didn't he?

You know, the more I think about it, the more I really believe that John Kerry was fully supported by the Kennedy's during his "VERY SHORT" Viet Nam stay. He grew up with the younger Kennedy's and spent a lot of time with JFK and Teddy, even though they were older. There are many pictures going around the Internet showing Kerry with the Kennedy's when he was a young man. I believe that they were mentoring him for political power even when he was a teenager. The Kennedy's and Kerry knew that by going to VN and getting decorated for things he really did not deserve to be decorated for, he could use that for his political aspirations. The Kennedy's had a lot of pull in the military during VN war and I would be willing to bet money that they made certain he came home decorated so he could use that to help him get elected to public office. When he (Kerry) came home after his short stint (4 months) in the war, he and the Kennedy's realized that the liberal people of Massachusetts would not support a Viet Nam war hero. When that was obvious, Kerry with the support of Teddy Kennedy and Hanoi Jane formed the Viet Nam Veterans Again the War. This way he would be likely to get elected by the anti-war people of Massachusetts.

-if the kennedy's weren't grooming him his parents were with their close family ties! Keep thinking, you are looking at an ELITEST type for sure when you look at Kerry! At least Bush went back to middle America for his foundation and roots.
