John Kerry has a piece of shrapnel in his left thigh from an injury he suffered in the Vietnam War, his doctor said Friday during a review of 36 pages of the Democratic presidential candidate's military medical records.

How about this:

Kerry's three Purple Hearts and show that he suffered from respiratory ailments, a skin rash and a minor urinary tract infection during his four years in the Navy

SKIN RASH? PURPLE HEART? SERIOUSLY?

And what about 4 years in the navy - that almost certainly confirms he was a member of the US Navy while he protested against this country and coordinated with the North Vietnamese Communists in France!

And what about Kerry claiming he was the Skipper on #94 when it came under fierce fire in Jan. 1969, when it was ACTUALLY ED PECK...not John Kerry!! Help, what is this about?

OUCH! I jabbed myself in the thigh with a sharp #2 pencil once during a math test by accident. Damn did that hurt. And left a black dot that will be with me forever.

And left a black dot that will be with me forever. I got one of those, 5th grade right on my forearm, still there 35 years later.

By the way, KOSOVO are not Arabs, they are euro Muslims.

NEWSMAX needs a GEORGAPHY LESSON

Officers always got urinary tract infections, never the clap.

Is this true and is it common knowledge?

We need to be sure that David Letterman and Jay Leno pick up on this. The nickname of Klapper Kerry would devastate him at the polls.

Kerry "released" someone else's military records for January. They're not his. Someone else was the skipper under fire.

Kerry has shrapnel in left thigh from Vietnam War injury




"If you dumb peasants
are stupid enough to
believe that I've got it made."

On the site, the Massachusetts senator is described as the skipper of Navy boat No. 94 during several actions in late January 1969.

However, Edward Peck, who was the skipper of the 94 before Kerry took over, said combat reports posted by the campaign for January 1969 involve action when he was the skipper, not Kerry. Peck, who was seriously wounded in fighting that took place on Jan. 29, 1969, said he believes Kerry campaign aides made a mistake in claiming Kerry as skipper of the 94 at that time.

I have one in my right calf.
Since it *is* lead, would it qualify as shrapnel?

Me too pencil lead to the left thigh, looks the same as it did then.

Kerrys shrapnel is probably self inflicted to get out of the danger zone.

Yeh. Sure. It was a "mistake." Uh huh.

[solitas]

ROFL! Good one!

[cajun-jack]

NOPE!!!! go out into any pasture with cattle in it and you can find the same substance as in this article.

a small piece of shrapnel, a pair of "stats"...more neosporin and another band aid....good as new.

kerry is a lying lil dweeb that never had a real injury, but made them up and since he has been outed on it, he is still trying to capture the war hero image.

the bronze star with "v" device was not awarded because a mine blew up close to his boat. If it was, did all crew members on the boat receive the medal?? If not, What did cmdr kerry do to distinguish himself as a gallant soldier over and above the rest??

He is a lying piece of "what you scrape off your shoe at a dog park", but trying to desperately hang on to the war hero image (lie) even though he detested the military.

this guy almost makes ted, the swimmer, kennedy look and seem sane and rational and horror of horrors.......sober!!!

That AUTOMATICALLY makes him not only a candidate for pesident, but should put him in office without an election, shouldn't it?

[DallasMike]

I'm no doctor, but it sounds like Jigolo John was mixing it up with the locals. A little more advertisement and this story could get really rich.
