HISTORIAN BURKETT: KERRY IN METALS MELTDOWN!

Meanwhile, Burkett is digging below the surface of the official paperwork -- revealed and yet unrevealed -- hoping that the relatively small Vietnam Swift Boat community will come forth and reveal a more realistic picture of Kerry's truncated tour in Vietnam.

That tour was cut short by Kerry invoking an informal regulation that permitted thrice-wounded Navy personnel to leave the combat zone early.

Retired Lt. Cmdr. Grant Hibbard, his commanding officer at the time, now says the wound for which Kerry was awarded his first Purple Heart "resembled a scrape from a fingernail."

Burkett, who has been receiving intelligence from the field, wonders why one particular fellow Kerry vet, who parked his boat next to Kerry's for a good portion of the famous tour, "didn't know that Kerry was ever wounded."

Burkett finds that factoid amazing, citing that the sailor recounted that the first time he was ever aware of wounds suffered by Kerry was when he was told that the apparently hale and hearty young officer was departing station for being wounded three times.

Although Burkett told NewsMax that he had personally spoken to the serviceman in question, he declined to identify him because of the sailor's request for anonymity.

"He's not going to come forward," Burkett explained. "He had a good relationship with Kerry in those days and wants to leave it at that."

Burkett found it curious that the sailor could not recall a single anti-war remark by Kerry during their association in-country.....

More Kerry lies.

First, there was "Betty Davis Eyes." Now, the new music hit "John F'ing Kerry Lies."

From the article title I originally thought he had lost a bundle in the Gold or Silver commodity market.

"He had a good relationship with Kerry in those days and wants to leave it at that."

Surely a Patriot will step forward.

Metals meltdown?!?!

There are wounds, and there are "wounds" . . . This is shameful. Kerry should be laughed off the podium. Sounds like my c-sect scar is a lot worse than what he got his Purple Heart for. I am sure feminists will swear that mine was as a result of "enemy action" (LOL). (If I wasn't so suppressed by enemies, I would have had a 'safe legal' instead . . . )

(BTW sarcasm intended.)

Three differences between Benedict Arnold and John F'n' Kerry:

1. Benedict Arnold fought in real battles.
   
2. Benedict Arnold got real battle wounds.
   
3. Benedict Arnold had the decency to leave the United States when he turned traitor.

No kiddin'. My God I wish people would learn to spell. I get so sick of the misuse of "their, there, they're". There is not possessive, there is not a contraction for they are, etc. I learned to spell in grammer school in the fifties-phonetically. And now if I am not sure I will look it up before I post or write a letter. I hate looking stupid.

"Benedict Arnold got real battle wounds"

LOL! "Priceless" !!

Medal not metal...

Look, it's obvious, but no one will dare touch the third rail. Kerry KNEW that anyone wounded on three separate occasions in battle could pull the pin and go state-side.
He also figured that having been a DECORATED veteran would:
a) play well into his long-range political plans (after all, Johnny-boy was not coming home to actually perform manual labor), or b) would allow him to climb the ladder of anti-vietnam war protesters back home giving him a minimum of 15 minutes of fame. Either way, lying about being wounded in combat would work, just as long as he could get that precious third hit without actually hurting himself.
And it worked!

Amazing. I learned to spell in grammar school.

Well, we ALL make mistakes from time to time...

One of these days I'm going to have to find out how you folks on this site find and paste your clever graphic images so quickly!

Google it!

I've Viet Nam got out in 4 months because of 3 purple hearts???

Why I am reluctant to ever correct anyone's spelling. I consider myself very well-versed in grammatical usage and an excellent speller, but the one time I choose to say something, I'd probably do something like this /grin!

Exactly.

Next impossible question to understand please.
