I posted this on another thread but will post it here as well.  John Fn Kerry never had a dirty fingernail in his life.  And I am sick and tired of the media putting him on a pedestal for being a "war hero."  War hero my arze!

My now deceased Viet Nam hubby, served 13 months in Viet Nam.  I believe he told me the biggest fight was in or for Da Nang.

They had to cut down trees and thick brush to make a clearing so they had clear view of any Con trying to sneak in on them.  They dug out bunkers to live underground.  Bunkers that reached 100 degrees in the day and nights of the hot humid summers.

Sometimes, they had to spend hours and hours in their bunkers because the Con kept firing incoming and the men couldn't go out until it stopped.  They shared their hot humid underground bunkers with black scorpions and rats.

Many spent the time telling jokes or writing letters home.  Others prayed.

They sat on self-made UNCOVERED toilets outside away from their bunkers (they had to dig a hole and construct the "seat") when they had to go.  Uncovered?  Yes.  So they could watch for incoming rounds. (I ask him 'how did you GO with everyone watching you?'  He said "Hey! when you gotta go you gotta go.  It was better for your guys to see you taking a s*it and be safe while you DO it.'

His outfit was subjected to Agent Orange over and over.  Crop dusters would fly over all the time dropping Agent Orange.  To 'kill the brush don't you know.'

He was out side the bunker on a quiet day when rounds started coming in and the rounds got him in the back and legs.  One of his men pulled him to safety.  To the day he died he still had shrapnel in his back and legs.

He received a Purple Heart, but he was able to bring that Purple Heart home alive, thank God.

If FnKerry had gone through HALF of what my hubby and the Army and Marines did during that time, I would have some respect for him.  But from the looks of it, FnKerry had a cushy job.  How the 'ell he received Purple Hearts is sure beyond me!  He should have walked a mile in MY hubby's boots just one  WEEK!

God! Kerry served 4 MONTHS in Vietnam and got 3 shrapnel wounds no worse than paper cuts.

The landing in Boston harbor with his Swift Boat buddies did it for me!

Your husband was a real hero, can you imagine how he'd feel if he was still with us?

Next time you think of your husband, will you please tell him my family says thank you?

May God bless you for posting that story.

I salute your late husband and the sacrifices he made for all of us. God Bless you. God Bless our Troops. God Bless and Guide our leaders. God Bless America.

If you read this aloud with your best Kerry impersonation you will get the full effect.

Kerry 2004

I want to be the President,
Though all know I can’t lead.
I really want the power though,
It’s really what I need.
I’ll lie and cheat and fabricate,
I’ll flip and flop for sure.
The left’s so dumb they’ll vote for me,
For stupid, there’s no cure.
George Bush lied, I’ll chant and sing,
Though I know it’s not true.
I love America I’ll say,
Another lie for you.
I’ll back the UN’s global push,
No sovereignty for us.
The world rides free at our expense,
We’ll even buy the bus.
Let terror rain down on this land,
We really are to blame.
Oh yes, I fought in Viet Nam,
Four months, then home I came.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
Like some rite of passage.
You bet my name’s John Kerry,
And I approve this message.

FnKerry had a cushy job.

Well, it was the price he had to pay, to set himself up for a lifetime of having no job at all!

One has to be amazed AND hit with a feeling of ingeniousness when J efin' Kerry spews out of one side of his mouth how he fought in Vietnam for the defense of his country and out of the other side of his mouth he calls himself a criminal for being there!

The thought of him getting support for POTUS at all is unnerving SheLion, for it shows the total lack of political consciousness by those who would consider supporting him as a candidate for POTUS.

Great post. Many of my friends didn't come home. Many that did told me stories like your husbands. One of my friends was drinking very heavy every night so he would pass out and not have nightmares. We were on a college campus and the anti war crowd repeating Kerry's lies was getting to him. I had put a lot of memories of that time behind me, but hearing Kerry called a hero brings it all back.

Your husband was courageous, brave and I just know his first and only thought was keeping his comrades safe.

The love of my life who was in Nam Aug 68-69 passed away two years ago. He told me many stories of his experience. It was very difficult for him to do so. I cried and sometimes held him tightly in my arms as he cried too.

You are a proud wife of a Vietnam Vet. I honor your husband, the love of my life and all the Vietnam Vets who have a very special place in my heart forever. However, I do not have a spec of respect or the tiniest spot in my heatt for the puke John F'n Kerry.

I'm also a Navy veteran (submarine crew member). John Kerry serves 4 months in Vietnam. I spent more time at sea submerged than he spent in his entire tour of duty.

Thanks for the inspiration. God Bless you and your family.
