This pastor, by the way, supported the war in Iraq.
He's an interesting guy.

Good statements, sinkspur. Damn right, Master Kerry is an aristocrat through and through. He's also a pro-abortion, divorced Catholic, now married to the zillionaire Heinz widow. They are a couple who cannot possibly relate to Miss, Mister or Missus John or Jane Q. Citizen.

Does anybody have the details of the action for which Kerry won his silver star? I'm not really sure .. there is a story of how his boat was in a firefight with the enemy
He also rec'd a bronze star and three purple hearts .. but I've only been able to find stories that he was injured twice

Most of the bomb-throwing revolutionaries who wanted to destroy the nation were the children of millionaires.As are most of the anti-war crowd today. Just a bunch of spoiled, latte-drinking, trust fund college kids trying to be rebels.

An East Coast brahmin will never be elected president.............
Actually one half East Coast Brahmin. Think Forbes family on that one. His other half is Jewish though in my 25 years in the People's Republic of Massachussets I always thought he was Irish.

Sounds like all the medals are deserved. I understand being against the war. I joined in '69 and was gung ho...even thought about river boat duty, ended up in the Seabees and never saw combat. After getting out I, too, decided we shouldn't have been there. But, I also knew that since we were there we should have won the damn thing.
With that said, I still have a problem with someone who protested the war then turns around and uses the war in an attempt to become president. I think that's shameful

The 3rd purple heart came when he had a seed in his joint.
The seed exploded and he got hot ashes in his eye.

Here's hoping the rest of the country is sick and tired of effete easterners like Kerry telling them how to suck eggs.

Unless someone presents compelling evidence that Kerry himself did something improper with regards to his medals, I think the subject should be dropped.
My experience in VN supports that there were a lot of awards made that were inflated. Especially in the officer ranks. But, this was the prevailing mindset at the time. PHs were handed out like aspirin.
I think if Kerry had falsified his reports that were used to support the recommendations for his awards, someone would have come forward by now and reported the facts.
It is well established that Kerry volunteered for VN (twice, I believe) and he chose to serve in a combat unit. By all accounts he performed well. If he didn't, only the men in his unit would really know and I havn't heard of any of them criticizing his performance.
There doesn't seem to be any basis for suggesting his war record is anything other than extremely positve. His behavior after he returned is reprehensible to me, but the libs and the media love it.
Seems like his financial ties to NVA and his record in the Senate are where the dead bodies are likely to be found.
Kerry scares me, because I think the media will soon elevate him to real hero status soon.

Wonder if Kerry could have a Kimba Wood problem?

I have the utmost respect for anyone that genuinely earned a Purple Heart, however, things are not always as they seem.
I was with the 101st in Phu Bai aug 70-aug71 and was stationed in a base camp. One night as mortars were coming in, a couple of new guys were running for the bunker and one ran over an engineer stake and cut his leg and another didn't duck low enough when he ran into the bunker and busted his head.
Yep, both got a Purple Heart for injuries received during hostile enemy action.
I know lots more that were injured badly and fully deserved the Purple Heart, but some awards were completely without merit. Sure would love to be a fly on the wall and hear the war stories these guys tell about how they "earned" their Purple Heart.

I feel the same way, in spite of how much I loathe him for his actions AFTER the war. Jane Fonda is the worst, but he comes right along behind her.
