Out of the three wounds he recieved only one caused any down time.....two days.

My brother still to this day...... has a piece of shrapnel in his chest from his wounds in Vietnam.

And Kerry missed two whole days and called it quits.....%$@#!!!!!!!!

Paul Galanti learned of Kerry's speech while held captive inside North Vietnam's infamous "Hanoi Hilton" internment camp. The Navy pilot had been shot down in June 1966 and spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war.
During torture sessions, he said, his captors cited the antiwar speeches as "an example of why we should cross over to (their) side."

"Support for their case is expected to come from a book to be published next month by reporters from The Boston Globe in Kerry's home state of Massachusetts. The book, JF Kerry, the Complete Biography, will question the extent of his injuries in Vietnam and whether he was entitled to an early release from the war."

As I've mentioned several times, the Boston Globe asked Kerry for a waiver so that they could see the records of his medical treatment for his three wounds.

Kerry REFUSED.

Book reopens Kerry's war wounds

Here, put some salt on it.

and the other two did not interrupt his duties.

How does anyone rightfully call these "wounds"?

Kerry is a fraud, a pretender, but will the media allow the citizens to know it?

[Hon]

"Kerry had been wounded three times and received three Purple Hearts. Asked about the severity of the wounds, Kerry said that one of them cost him about two days of service, and that the other two did not interrupt his duty. "Walking wounded," as Kerry put it. A shrapnel wound in his left arm gave Kerry pain for years. Kerry declined a request from the Globe to sign a waiver authorizing the release of military documents that are covered under the Privacy Act and that might shed more light on the extent of the treatment Kerry needed as a result of the wounds."

He returned to the US a bitter opponent of the war and was released from the army early.

Not so. According to other accounts he did not turn against the war until several months after he returned--a calculated political decision.

Kerry keeps on lying.

[mystery-ak]

What does your brother say about Kerry?

[Capt. Tom]

Surprised anybody (much less the Globe) is going to print this!

It was the Globe that exposed his Irish heritage hoax. - Tom

The Globe pieced together Kerry's genealogy through Ellis Island immigration records, other documents in Chicago and records from the former Austrian Empire. The paper hired Felix Gundacker, director of the Institute for Historical Family Research in Vienna, to examine and translate the German-language records.

Kerry's grandfather, who emigrated to the United States in 1905, was born in an Austrian town once known as Bennisch, which today is called Horni Benesov in the Czech Republic. Gundacker found birth records noting the 1873 birth of a Fritz Kohn and another record noting Kohn changed his name to Frederick Kerry on March 17, 1902. The Globe quoted Gundacker as "1,000 percent certain" that Kerry/Kohn was born to a Jewish family because the church records were on a page listing Jewish families.

He requested a transfer and was given a plum job as an admiral's aide in Brooklyn. He returned to the US a bitter opponent of the war and was released from the army early.

That's not a bad trick, considering he was in the Navy. Or is Kerry now claiming he was in the Army so he can write himself some Army commendations?

[KQQL]

Kerry served 4 months in NAm only...... I didn't know that

[pabianice]

Kerry has not authorised the release of his war records - a strange omission, say his political foes, given the ferocity with which his supporters have demanded to see every last document of Bush's military service in the Texas Air National Guard.

It takes time to scrub and rewrite your records.

Research Kerrys speech to his class before he went to Nam.....he was a foe of the war before he went....he only did it to help his political career.

[Hon]

"by his own account, one shrapnel wound laid him off for two days and the other two did not interrupt his duties."

"There were an awful lot of Purple Hearts -- from shrapnel, some of those might have been M-40 grenades," said Elliott, Kerry's commanding officer. "The Purple Hearts were coming down in boxes. Kerry, he had three Purple Hearts. None of them took him off duty."

Who was the Admiral Kerry worked for?

[cynicom]

Brother in law, was on the River, same boats as Kerry. Two COMPLETE tours. Two MAJOR wounds. Scars from here to there, still carries around metal in his body. Course he was an enlisted person, thus slim chance of being a HERO. Plus he was not an intimate of the Kennedy family.

After returning stateside, with 12 years service, a grateful Navy told him they did not want him anymore. Only personal intervention by Zumwalt allowed him the 8 years he needed to retire.

[Dog]

He didn't like Clinton ....and he doesn't like Kerry.
