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!

Did he lose a limb?

And since she is so interested in health care, what will she do to assure ketchup bottles and dispensers in restaurants can no longer spread germs from patron to patron?

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

[mtbopfuyn]

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.

[freeperfromnj]

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.

[coloradomom]

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.

He was wounded. That's how he came home so soon

I think I raised these questions here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1078071/posts

("New Questions About Kerry's Military Record Surface"

[tuckrdout]

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.

[thesummerwind]

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?

and it won't be a pretty thing to see

For the left.

"why did ketchup boy only serve 4 months"

because he got out 6 months early to run for Congress



Kerry recieved three purple hearts during the Vietnam war, each time he was injured. Granted, he saved a man once and his actions earned him a Silver Star. However, Kerry had grown tired of fighting and wanted to go back stateside. So, he lobbied his superior, Commodore Charles F. Horne. Even though Kerry would later boast that his injuries still allowed him to be among the "walking wounded," in April 1969, having engineered an early transfer out of the conflict because of his three minor wounds, John Kerry left his crew behind and returned home to a sweet assignment as an admiral's aide. Then he pulled strings with an anti-war protester who was a former RFK speech-writer, Adam Walinsky, and had Rear Admiral Walter F. Schlech, Jr. grant him an early discharge from service so he could run for Congress.

As a Corpsman with the USMC, I did 13 months in Vietnam, returned to the U.S. for 12 month (to the day at Parris Island, SC for my 'shore duty'), and then returned to Vietnam for 13 more months.

[thesummerwind]

more is coming about what really happened in Kerry's war experience, and it won't be a pretty thing to see.

There may be alot of ugly things to come out about Lurch, but I fear not enough voters will ever learn of them, thanks to the hateful, liberal America-destroying media.

I'm 57 years old and have been involved in politics since the Eisenhower days. I have never seen anywhere near as much concentrated hate, distortions and lies by the media on the part of one political party (the Dems.).

And today unfortunately, the media is 24-7, and the majority of the uninformed, lazy voters are subconsciously effected by it's relentless influence. And that media is protecting Kerry, much like they have protected Hillary all these years.

Now, if, as some have suggested, the Clintons have that plan to eventually destroy Kerry and slide 'Satan's Daughter' in at the last moment, then Kerry will be exposed. I can believe that scenario.

But if that isn't the plan, I doubt that nearly enough voters will ever learn of the REAL John F***in' Kerry!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Two of his Purple Hearts required nothing more than some disinfectant and a band aid. The third got him two days of light duty and by his own words weren't really necessary.

While in command of Swift Boat 44, Kerry and crew operated without prudence in a Free Fire Zone, carelessly firing at targets of opportunity racking up a number of enemy kills and some civilians. His body count included-- a woman, her baby, a 12 year-old boy, an elderly man and several South Vietnamese soldiers.

"It is one of those terrible things, and I'll never forget, ever, the sight of that child," Kerry later said about the dead baby. "But there was nothing that anybody could have done about it. It was the only instance of that happening."

Are there any Heinz companies in the US???

[Semper Paratus]

It's pretty clear now that since Kerry brought up his service record and everybody else has questioned W's that Kerry do the same data dump on 'all' his military records as W did.

[Munch]

I don't think many have made the connection, but the reason our boys were spat on and harassed when they came home from the fight is because of John Kerry's ilk --- including his congressional testimony where he said our soldiers were torturing innocents and committing war crimes !!!

Thank John Kerry for that !
