More informed opinion about Kerry's Magical Medals...

"There are some aspects of John Kerry's service in Vietnam which, for me, do not add up."

There are many aspects which do not add up for many of us. Thanks for a great post from someone who has obviously "been there, done that."

All excellent points very well made. I don't "get" a lot of the military lingo, I guess cause I'm a chick ; )

Something is fishy about this and if you've figured it out hopefully someone with some influence will be able to get this out where it can be heard. I'm not suggesting you don't have influence, heck I've never met you, but you know what I mean, right?

I'm thinking Kerry is fixin to take a fall BIG TIME before the election. There are enough things he says that are "off" that he's gonna get caught.

Good Post, and thanks for your service to our country. We owe you a lot Interesting Times.

Good Post, Hey for the record can we see a pic of a swift boat, I think it would help us understand,Thanks

I keep thinking "Apocalypse Now"

Very credible!

This implies that Kerry killed a wounded, unarmed enemy. First, if true, this was despicable. Second, it was stupid, as a live prisoner was a highly valued prize as an intel source.

I strongly suspect, and would accuse Kerry of war crimes and murder.

Gee, I didn't know Kerry was in Vietnam. He never mentions it. :)

Where are Kerry's military records?

Thanks for posting this. We need to get this kind of information out to everyone. The problem is, will they care?

Great post!

Kerry's story stinks. I think his Silver Star was "earned" the same way LBJ's was: as part of a pre-arranged political deal.

This article brings up a point that has bothered me ever since I heard the basic information on Kerry's war record. How the heck does a guy get three purple hearts and a silver star in four months? Iknew a guy who was significantly more gutsy than me when we worked in the fire department together, he served two tours with the Army at the DMZ, and he didn't have medals like this guy got in four months. Also, it has been my experience that in most situations, after the first medal is awarded for a situation (the Purple Hearts in this instance) that second medals of the same type are generally a little harder to come by. I could be wrong, as my experience is not military, but fire service. I just find it hard to believe that the guy could amass this kind of war record and come home in four months with three purple hearts and without any injuries severe enough to cause some kind of permanent disability. I don't know many guys that pulled that short a tour. It wasn't like checking out of the Holiday Inn to go home.

I think, along with other info available, there should be a Congressional investigation of Mr. Kerry's service in the military. The "charge is so serious" that such an investigation is warranted.

Great Post! I recommend it be reposted periodically, for those that will miss it for one reason or the other.

Bump for later read. Good Stuff.

[chesty_puller]

And most og those guys that follow Kerry around as Viet Nam veterans look alot like the guys that passed out skivvys in DaNang. REMFs

thanks for the post

Excellent post. They way I heard it, Kerry chased the wounded VC into a hut and killed him there. Perhaps the VC grabbed an AK and pointed it at Kerry, at which time killing the VC would have been proper, but I am skeptical. At any rate, I don't see how this merited a Silver Star.
