What a nice and well-researched article. Reinforces my opinion that the media is once again twisting things around in their disgraceful handling of Kerry's war record. Why is their any doubt about a man of such honor and patriotism as Pres. Bush's ability to run the country?
Sorry about the divergence, though, great writing.

The turn to and attack is a Marine Corps tactic. They Navy has no such training and kerry has not the cojones to act like a Marine.

For that matter, it is an insult to the Marine Corps that he usurped one of our tactics to lie and cover up his own stupidity.

I will give Kerry points for getting his butt out there for as long as he did (much more than algore) but he never should have been 'bragging' about it - a sure sign of a lie!

In this article, we see more evidence of why his commanders had his records notated "requires constant supervision".

Bandit,

Special Forces were charging into ambushes and teaching the tactic long before when ground forces were deployed in Nam.

Kerry faked the documents and then, in effect, shot himself in the foot in order to desert and bug out on his unit in the face on enemy action. The ultra-left wing media never, never mentions the fact that he had a one year tour but flaked out early. A "hero" would have stayed to the end and served out his term. Kerry is a deserter and a coward.

...yet only took days for his Silver Star to be approved and pinned on him for simply shooting a wounded teen running away from him (or so the story goes.)

Does anyone have a good link to this story?

Not at my finger tips, but Boston Globe has covered it and statements from those who were on the LST where Zumwalt pinned the medal on Kerry has said it was either March 4 or 6...less then a week after Feb. 28.

Sounds like everything f'ing did was pre-planned with medals in mind regardless of the danger he put his "underlings', 'peons' in rat' lingo.He hasn't changed a bit.

I will not vote for a person who served and subsequently betrayed his country by meeting and collaborating with our then enemies the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong in his Paris visit, throwing his awards away also while he was improperly wearing his uniform, also improperly wearing his uniform while he lied about our troops conduct during his testimony before a congressional comitee, his giving aid, abetting and giving comfort to our enemies in time of war, his continual showing of his true feelings about this country by his continual negative voting for the defenses of this country, his continual neglect for his senatorial voting duties currently as a sentor, his continual bashing of our present war effort in time of war instead of doing what he should do to help our war effort against our enemies to ensure our victory.

No mr. kerry, there's no way in hell you will ever get my support for your effort to be Commander in Chief!!!!

Since the TV and Cable newsrooms refuse to expose this traitor I will.
Odd how the internet and talk radio know he's a traitor
BUT the TV and Cable newsrooms won't "question his patriotism".

Only idiots would vote for a traitor.

My favorite post for DUmmies and trolls.





Photograph of Hanoi Kerry meeting with Comrade Do Muoi,
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Photo is displayed in the War Remnants Museum
(formerly the "War Crimes Museum") in Saigon.
CLICK ON PHOTO for proof that Hanoi Kerry is a traitor!



Kerry’s Soviet Rhetoric
(The Vietnam-era antiwar movement got its spin from the Kremlin)



"I’m an internationalist. I’d like to see our troops dispersed through [sic] the world
only at the directive of the United Nations."
Hanoi John Kerry, The Harvard Crimson, 1970


HANOI KERRY
has a Campaign Platform
Just like the old days!


"It is a fact that in the entire Vietnam War we did not lose one major battle.
We lost the war at home and at home John Kerry was the field general"

- Bob Elder, Swift Boat Veteran For Truth


"I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces,"
said retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffmann, chairman of the organization.
"This is not a political issue. It is a matter of honesty."


I was there the same time Hanoi Kerry was.
I served on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817 which supplied PCF's and PBR's
and gave gunfire support in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied Hanoi Kerry's boat.
I VOW I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected.

The book that Kerry
wishes would just go away.
HanoiJohnKerry.com is a blog with a primary purpose. That purpose is to counter the preposterous claims of Sen. John Forbes Kerry (D-MA) that he has any legitimate claim to any sort of "brotherhood" among combat veterans of the War in Vietnam.

While it is generally supposed that his service as a Naval officer on a "Swift Boat" in that theater was adequate and honorable, there is much to question regarding his readiness to allow the accolade "war hero" to be applied to him.

Likewise, it is not at all uncommon for more senior Naval officers to raise an eyebrow at the swiftness and relative comfort by which Lt. JG Kerry attained those medals, and who is available to vouch for the efficacy of his being awarded them (since, as boat commander, it would be his own task to make recommendation for awards for all personnel, including himself, on the Swift Boat).

But most egregious was his conduct, words and associations upon his early-out (from SEA) return to the USA and discharge from the US Navy. His leadership role with the radical pro-Communist (inaccurate to deem this group "anti-war") group called "Vietnam Veterans Against the [Vietnam] War" (hereafter VVAW).

It was while climbing the social and political ladder of the pro-Soviet Left as a principle of VVAW that John Kerry found his political soul-mate in Hanoi Jane Fonda. Granted, these politically formative years for Kerry were prior to the more outlandish acts of Fonda that earned her that name, but it is easily documentable that Fonda did not under go any radical transformation in belief or character from the time she and Kerry were working the same side of the street to the time she traveled to Hanoi, NVN and entered US history as the most overt traitor to ever NOT be charged, tried and executed.

John Kerry went to his own overt extremes to demonstrate that, politically, socially and in lowness of character, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between he and Fonda. Thus, in the spirit of fairness and accuracy, we are reasonably certain that he will be agreeably flattered by calling him Hanoi John Kerry.

Here, testifying before the Fulbright Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is where John Kerry, spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, cemented his position and moniker as "Hanoi John" Kerry. This was the occasion where US troops still in the field in Vietnam learned from one of their FORMER brothers-in-arms that they were heinous murderers and war criminals. HJK would now like to call on them for support in his bid to be the new Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Perhaps the most preposterous hypocrisy of all.








Why do the TV and Cable Newsrooms hide Hanoi Kerry's past?
