We know the media shills for the democrats, but it's about time some one of the VERY FEW honest media get on this point and two others:
We want to know about those famous wounds that he takes credit for......(I'm not saying I would want them, but he is making big claims about his service) but we have a right to see the records.
All my friends had to spend 12 months in Nam....why did ketchup boy only serve 4 months and then come home and fight the war and call those poor guys without deferments baby killers and war criminals
I am telling you my friends, more is coming about what really happened in kerry's war experience, and it won't be a pretty thing to see.

You know I spent 23 months in Nam between July of '66 and September of '71 and I never saw John Kerry there even one time!

Would Kerry "have chosen" to go to Viet Nam if he had graduated in 1968?

I read about the 4 mos. before, and wondered if he'd served more than the article spoke to or that he'd been shot and sent home early. Would like to know the full story about this highly decorated war hero protester.

Eeewww, makes you wonder how long that bottom slug has been in the bottle.

I didn't know Mrs. Ketchup had 57 overseas plants. With Mr. Ketchup making the jobs going overseas issue his main platform, this will be good ammo. He is such a hypocrite.

Yet last night on Hardball David Schuster reported that Kerry experienced intense combat over a period of four years. Then Matthews talked about President Bush's service as him just getting some coffee and sandwiches and hanging around. Needless to say, I sent Feedback to Matthews.

Kerry apparently served a six month tour on a frigate (Gridley?) which was part of a carrier task force.
He came home and then went back. He volunteered for Swift boats, which were cruising the coast of Viet Nam - fairly safe. A couple of weeks after joining the Swifts, their mission was changed to patrolling the rivers and delta.
He spent about four months doing this, was slightly wounded three times, found out about a Navy custom of allowing any guy with three Purple Hearts to go home and get the assignment of his choice. Kerry applied and went home.

I believe that you are mistaken....Kerry served TWO terms of 4 months in country! They were separated by injuries.
And in that "vast" amount of time, he came to know that rampant, unchecked killing of innocent civilians was common.
I would like to see full disclosure of Kerry's military records.

We want to know about those famous wounds that he takes credit for.Is it true that he only missed two days of service because of his "wounds". What happened to him? Did he drop his nail clipper on his foot?

As I understand it from earlier articles, which may or may not know what they are talking about, Kerry won three Purple Hearts, one from an artillery fragment and the other two minor unspecified wounds. None of them kept him off his feet or put him out of action for more than a day.
But evidently the rule was that after you collected 3 purple hearts you had done your share and could be rotated out.
I, too, would like to know a lot more about the details behind these awards, the names of the commanders involved, whether political pressure was applied, and so forth.
The Silver Star award was also pretty ambiguous. Normally, the most someone of Kerry's rank would have gotten for very heroic conduct would be a bronze star, according to another article. And he won it for leaping off his boat, running behind a hut, and shooting a wounded man. What we don't know is if the wounded man was still dangerous, or if he was lying in a pool of blood, or maybe even already dead. I'd like to hear more about this one, too, from folks who were there.
