To the editor:
There has been much in the news recently about the military records of President Bush, and his likely opponent, John Kerry. Michael Moore and Terry McAuliffe have leveled baseless accusations that Bush was AWOL while serving in the Texas Air National Guard during the Viet Nam war. While attacking Bush, McAuliffe stated that being in the Guard was not being in the military, which will come as a surprise to Guard members currently serving in harm’s way in Iraq.
Documents readily available; military pay stubs, documentation of duties fulfilled, an honorable discharge, not to mention learning to fly a plane, all vindicate Bush’s honorable service, but Democrats continue the accusations, obviously believing that a lie, repeated often enough, becomes truth.
Kerry, while boasting about his record, condescendingly compared Guard service to draft dodging. Ironically, though he served with distinction, Kerry became an avid anti-war activist, accusing the U.S. military of atrocities while American soldiers were still dying in Viet Nam. General Vo Nguyen Giap in 1985 wrote that peace activists (like Kerry) prolonged the war, keeping the Viet Cong from surrendering, and prolonging the captivity of our POW’s.
In 1992, Kerry stated to the Senate that one’s decision about Viet Nam was irrelevant to a presidential campaign, in defense of Clinton, a draft dodger and felon, pardoned by Carter. Now it seems he has changed his tune.
The bottom line is not what happened 30 years ago, but the War we are engaged in at this time. Kerry’s voting record shows he has consistently voted against every military advancement, every weapon, every effort to increase or even maintain our intelligence. He voted to go to war with Iraq, then claimed he only voted for the ‘threat’ of war. He then opposed money our military needed to continue to fight terror following the military victory. In addition, he consistently supported ceding American sovereignty to the UN.
Kerry’s record doesn’t support his claims that he will be a Commander in Chief who will fight to protect America. President Bush has already proven that he can, and will do so.
VERY GOOD OhioWfan!!
BTW, Tonight the White House has released a Dental Exam that was done while our Cammander-in-Chief was in Alabama serving in the Guard.
Just one more nail in the Democrats Coffin
Here's the reference in your letter...In 1992, Kerry stated to the Senate that one’s decision about Viet Nam was irrelevant to a presidential campaign, in defense of Clinton, a draft dodger and felon, pardoned by Carter. Now it seems he has changed his tune.
