'KERRY will weaken our military'

...Ever since the Vietnam War, JOHN KERRY has worked hard to weaken our military and intelligence capacities that protect us, while he once called us Vietnam veterans terrorists.

...A President KERRY would do the same. =


...Ronnie Guyer, published Letter to the Editor, Orange County Register Saturday 2-14-2004

. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people.

Kerry knew that 3 purple hearts would get him out of the war early. Check out the citation submittals. He wrote one up on himself about once a month. Right after the 3rd one he asked to leave early; citing the regulation about being wounded three times. He was already "buddies" with Ted and the other Kennedy's when he went over. He was very anti-war before he went to Vietnam and planned to spend just enough time to turn himself into a JFK look alike (boat and all).

Let's see the scars (if there are any)!

Great idea ... I sent it, and I also sent it via email to every news email address you gave me, bcc'ing each of them. Thanks for the idea. I slightly modified the letter

Why does the Media like to propagate a myth? A person cannot be both a War Hero and a War Criminal. John Kerry is not a War Hero, as he, himself, has admitted that he committed war crimes.

On Meet the Press on May 6, 2001, Tim Russert played John Kerry an audio tape from April 18, 1971, where Kerry was asked whether he committed war crimes in Vietnam. Kerry’s response, on the 1971 tape, was:

I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions. . .

Can a 'hero' fireman, after later getting caught as an arsenist still be considered a 'hero'? No.

Therefore, having admitted to committing war crimes, it is disingenuous for Kerry to now claim the mantle of “Hero.” It is even more disingenuous for the media to keep perpetuating the “Hero” myth.

Lastly, hypocricy is something that he is also guilty of. Trying to play both the 'anti-Vietnam' group and the potential war-hero future benefits, John Kerry threw 'someone elses' medals over the White House wall. He never revealed this to the Vietnam Vet's he was with till many many years later when it was time to play the other card.

Sorry, war criminals that are also hypocrites are NOT what we need leading this country.

Done. However, I'm getting a lot of the email returned with the note that it can't be delivered. However, I tried! Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for posting Kerry's 1971 response. He is a war criminal by his own words. He committed war crimes so his only excuse is others committed war crimes too. DId he command men to commit war crimes?

I would love to see Kerry's records released. I think there would be a lot of dirt there.

My post on an earlier previous thread:

Pic of 'JFK' sex storm girl Posted by tracer to longtermmemmory

On News/Activism 02/14/2004 9:17:03 AM PST #141 of 154

".....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??"
