I know, isn't that a stunning statement by Zumwalt. I get the impression that Kerry's heavy involvement in anti-war groups may have been partially caused by a huge sense of guilt over all the non-combatants that he killed in Vietnam. In any event, Kerry strikes me as a mentally unstable kook who doesn't have the stability and the sound judgement required of the President.
good thread
He's going to break that restraint tomorrow, and the chit will hit the fan....
Go Matt
Sadly this book will get the same treatment as the Gary Aldrich book from the MSM.
Probably an M79. Rounds are HE (High Explosive) for use in relatively open terrain and fleshette rounds (like a big shotgun) for use in jungle.
I received a slight wound from an M79 when a round hit a nearby tree limb during a firefight. Fortunately, I had my head down and received a tiny fragment to the back of my neck. No PH.
oh....don't get me started....
I think he means the MSM embargo.
"While in Cam Rahn Bay, he trained on several 24-hour indoctrination missions, and one special skimmer operation with my most senior and trusted Lieutenant. The briefing from some members of that crew the morning after revealed that they had not received any enemy fire, and yet Lt.(jg) Kerry informed me of a wound -- he showed me a scratch on his arm and a piece of shrapnel in his hand that appeared to be from one of our own M-79s. It was later reported to me that Lt.(jg) Kerry had fired an M-79, and it had exploded off the adjacent shoreline. I do not recall being advised of any medical treatment, and probably said something like 'Forget it.' He later received a Purple Heart for that scratch, and I have no information as to how or whom.
Lt.(jg) Kerry was allowed to return to the good old USA after 4 months and a few days in-country, and then he proceeded to betray his former shipmates, calling them criminals who were committing atrocities. Today we are here to tell you that just the opposite is true. Our rules of engagement were quite strict, and the officers and men of Swift often did not even return fire when they were under fire if there was a possibility that innocent people -- fishermen, in a lot of cases -- might be hurt or injured. The rules and the good intentions of the men increased the possibility that we might take friendly casualties."

they moved up the release date
Even as United States Senator, Kerry can't stop himself from giving aid and comfort to his Commie buddies in Hanoi.
Dr. Corsi asked Mr. Lupetti to more thoroughly document the layout and scope of the museum, particularly the section featuring those foreign anti-war activists whom the Vietnamese communists wished to honor. He took a number of additional photos at the War Remnants Museum and elsewhere, several of which are presented below.
Dr. Corsi also contacted Dan Tran of the Vietnam Human Rights Project, who asked associates in Saigon to go into the museum to make sure the photograph of John Kerry was actually there. Mr. Tran's contacts confirmed that the photograph is still in the museum.
Big time..Geting a lot of info here...
And it wouldn't take a very long shovel.
Kerry chose to run on his war record. He opened the door & made it fair game. Perhaps he thought questioning a veteran's service was taboo & no one would dare question him.
Even now he fails to realize the consequences of his actions post Viet Nam.
Truth has taken last place in the most important election in our lifetime.
"My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"
-- Steven Gardner
When you listen to what the Swift Boat Vets say about Kerry, you realize that Kerry is a wacked-out nutty rich kid with poor judgement and a general lack of character. I have no idea why all those Democrats voted for him in the primaries. The Dems apparently do very little research on candidates before voting. Either that or the D in Dimocrat just stands for Dumb.
