Genuine question re: your obvious typo: did you intend to say "now" or "not?"
As I have stated on another thread, I have questions re: whether one or more of the very minor "wounds" that lead up to the third Purple Heart that got this back-shooting "war hero's" candy @$$ sent back to CONUS after only four months in-country -- leaving the remainder of his "band of brothers" to bleed and die in his place.
Do the math: in light of your own experience or that of Nam vets that you know or know of -- how likely is it that a riverine force boat commander officer serving in a reportedly low-intensity area of operations would be both zinged three (count 'em, three)times in only four months AND be lucky enough for all three zings to result in very minor yet PH-able wounds?
Why is it that nobody else, TIAAO -- reporters, politicians, former and active real-deal operators, talking heads, talk show hosts, etc. -- has raised this question?
It's a reasonable question, too, IMO. And, no, I don't consider myself to be the smartest guy in the world or country, on the block, here, or even under my own roof.
Let's raise and examine this question, given that it was Sir Kerry-Heinz and Company who "opened the door " to this line of questioning by assailing GW's military service and having chosen to create a campaign plank and obsess ad nauseum about the purported exploits some thirty years ago of an anti-war, Fonda-fawning, America-hating, medal-tossing, world-class clymer who "married well" ("Heinz loses," as the commercial says) -- and lives, breathes, and operates far to the left of even Teddie "Aqualung" Kennedy, the Marxist favorite son of the People's Republick of Messachusetts.
Attention: All lurkers with ties to Rush, Hannity, G. Gordon, etc. What say ye??
