Purple Heart wound treated with Band-Aid...

Well, whaddya know 'bout dat...

[Mo1]

Some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore, but that Kerry had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore. The crewman thought that the injury was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks.

He shoot himself ???

LOL .. what a LOSER

[dc-zoo]

When hilary gets through with him he may actually qualify for a purple heart and really end up like JFK.

[EGPWS]

The wound that made John Kerry eligible for the first of three Purple Hearts was not severe enough to warrant consideration,...

then who was it that awarded it to him?

[Conservative4Ever]

LOL....ya got to love it when the geek of the year gets a Purple Heart from a band-aid wound. It is an insult to all the other good men who were wounded or died in Vietnam. Kerry is getting almost as annoying as Hillary.

...and did not require any sutures to close the wound.

The wound was covered with a bandaid.

lol

WND reports all this stuff but nobody else seems to think it is interesting, heh? We are in a very, very strange age of unrelenting media bias. At least we have alternatives to the main outlets now. Go WND, Go Fox! Yeah FreeRepublic!

[pawdoggie]

The "next JFK" comment is particularly enlightening. When Kerry heard about the "Swift" boats (which were described in contemporary news reports as being the "PT boats of the Vietnam War") the SOB must have figured that the Almighty Himself had created this opportunity for him to shine up his political resume. Then he learned that the mission of the boats had changed (they were apparently being sent up river from the mouth of the Delta), and he realized that the enemy was using real ammunition. So he contrived the Purple Hearts, campaigned for the "Valor" (SS, BSM) medals, and the rest is history. In your heart you suspected it, but your unwillingness to attack a GI made you want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Since the first Purple Heart was not really valid, the Three-and-Out rule does not apply. So the Navy ought to put him back into uniform and send him back into combat.

Fortunately, we have a nice little war to send him to. Two actually, he can have his pick...

Admiral Boorda committed suicide over much less than this.

KInda funny how a lie sometimes never dies.

[JesseHousman]

..."some of his crewmen related that Lt. Kerry had told them that he would be the next JFK from Massachusetts."

Even then the horse-faced, ketchup stained imbecile had his sights set in the sewer with the rest of the bottom-feeding scavengers.

[PeteePie]

The story he told was different from what his crewmen had to say about that night...

Is it not a crime to file a false report of action under these circumstances? I mean our intel back then might have mistakenly assumed an enemy presence when there wasn't one and diverted assets to oppose something that didn't exist, thus endagering the lives of GI's elsewhere who might have need of those same resources. I suppose it depends on the meaning of the word "is" is, or "crime," or "false," or, "liar," or "fraud," or "facade," or "loser," or "chicken sh!t," or...

[<1/1,000,000th%]

kerry was AWOL during Viet Nam.

[bigjoesaddle]

I know Kerry was privliged, but was his family in politics? Why was politics on his mind when so young? WHy were there so many pictures of Kerry in Vietnam? Whats the story?

[ZULU]

"The wound was covered with a bandaid. "

Too bad we can't handle Kerry as simply.

[BluH2o]

The wound was covered with a band aid.

Purple Heart #1 for Kerry was a joke. He suffered more pain getting recent botox injections. Kerry is a first class phony.
