"He then went to Paris and met with Communist officials in May of 1970 -- having just gotten out of the Navy a couple of months prior to that -- and did his own personal negotiation for peace, which, of course, is also against the law."

I wonder if there is a statute of limitations on this.

"But in those days, the military expert says, when officers acted as Kerry did, people often just looked the other way."

No --- if your sugar-daddy was ted kennedy, you did whatever you wanted to. But Give Kerry credit, all he killed was a wounded vietnamese!

The military did not want to go against that other murderer - ted kennedy!

Patterson contends that if an American naval officer did that today, he would be thrown in jail and subjected to a court martial.

Which is why Kerry will never be allowed into my living room.

The retired Air Force pilot says Kerry was the only member of his Navy unit to come home early.

I don't know about that. According to Swift Boat Website the six months that Kerry served in the boats was around average. William Shumadine, author of "Unfit for Command", only lasted 2 months. I wonder why?

Unless you (or your wife) have several hundred million dollars, he wouldn't come inside anyhow.

Against the law, but in the eyes of the citizens of Massachusetts, qualification enough to be voted into elected office.

Outrageous. Next thing you know, someone will question Max Cleland's hero status.

Expert Casts Doubts On Kerry's Touted War Heroism..."Unfit for Command" the book which yesterday went from #1300 to #2 on Amazon.com's best-seller list even though it's not due to be released until September, tells in more detail of Kerry's aborted Vietnam service and his disgusting and treasonous anti-war activities - The book sells for $19.01 plus $3.99 shipping on Amazon - should be on prominent display in many bookstores just about when the fall campaign is getting into full swing - better than a dozen anti-Kerry 527 ads........

There is a difference between time in a specific command and time in-country.

If I read that site correctly, they are referring to time assigned to a specific command.

And Kerry's FOUR months was time in-country.

I always thought Al Gore's 6 months in Nam amounted to little more than a "cameo appearance". However, Gore was practically a lifer compared to Kerry.

Michael Savage had some fellow on tonight talking about this - he said some big news was going to break on it on August 17th. Not sure what the significance of the date is.

That would be great, although Savage is a little "out there" at times.

Actually, I was referring to just being on the television in my house. I did not allow Bill and Hillary in my living room, either. (On the television.)

Sort of.
And to cast our jury vote on the first Tuesday in November.
