About Time the Media Ran the REAL truth about Hanoi Kerry PING!
"So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor
ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty,
other than those who were seriously wounded or killed."

I VOW to the 58,229 + names on The Wall who never came home
"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected."
Hanoi Kerry MUST NOT win on Nov 2 2004

Absolutely!!!and How about the picture the Swifts have posted with a whole Village smiling and happy and the next day, the VC wiped out the Village. His history must not be hidden!!!
A Kerry presidency will herald the Long Twilight of America, in my none-too-humble opinion. Sadly, there are enough of the "I hate Boosh! And you should, too!" crowd ( they are also no friends of America or Americans ) that there's a fair chance he'll weasel into office.
The Jackal Pack Media- press and entertainment divisions- are gleefully looking for a Clinton II... someone they can help create, lie & spin for, and sustain. A creature of their own making, who will be beholden to them forever. God help us, all we can do is the best we can, and hope it will be sufficient- but I think 2004 is going to be a real nail-biter.

BTTT!!!!!!!
Mugawd. What a profile - is that legal to say?
My OER's during my commissioned years weren't messianic by any stretch, but THIS! This is someone who shouldn't be allowed to TALK to the troops, to say nothing of being National Command Authority.
But it's up to The Sheep to decide - and that worries me...
"John Kerry's service in Vietnam lasted 4 months and 12 days, beginning in November 1968 when he reported to Cam Rahn Bay fora month of training. His abbreviated combat tour ended shortly after he requested a transfer out of Vietnam on March 17, 1969, citing Navy instruction 1300.39 permitting personnel with three Purple Hearts to request reassignment. So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty, other than those who were seriously wounded or killed.
It is clear that at least one of Kerry's Purple Heart awards was the result of his own negligence, not enemy fire, and that Kerry went to unusual lengths to obtain the award after being turned down by his own commanding officer.
John Kerry has long insisted that using the three-injury loophole to leave combat early was his own idea, but Kerry's fellow Swift officer Thomas Wright, who served on occasion as the OIC (Officer in Charge) of Kerry's boat group, contradicts that claim. Wright reports that he "had a lot of trouble getting Kerry to follow orders," and that those who worked with Kerry found him "oriented towards his personal, rather than unit goals and objectives." He therefore requested that Kerry be removed from his boat group.
After John Kerry qualified for his third Purple Heart, Thomas Wright and two fellow officers informed him of the obscure regulation, and told him to go home. Wright concluded, "We knew how the system worked and we didn’t want him in Coastal Division 11."

To me, that's pretty much it, in a nutshell, right there, from the link. Not to mention his traitorous behavior once he came back to the USA. That really boils my blood!
