Kerry was ticked that he was asked to leave Vietnam and so he comes back and speaks out against his 'band of brothers'.
Now he's proud of it?????
The poodle and his kennel are whining. That's a good sign. Throw them a few medals.
Exactly! That's an amazing piece of information.
For years, articles about Kerry "asking" to be relieved of his tour of Vietnam have been circulating.
Now we find out HE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE .. and now this makes total sense to me .. of course he was mad as any pompous liberal would be .. he was going to show them.
The guy's a traitor to America and there is no way he can be President of America.
Scary Kerry has zilch for pride. Bush/Cheney 2004
I don't know if I would agree with the statement that "Kerry was ticked" that he was asked to leave Vietnam. We know he WAS asked to leave by his commanding officer, and Kerry protested ever so mildly, however he was out of there in a flash the next morning.
I am more of the impression that this was his way of ensuring that his well orchestrated 3 purple hearts exercise pass was optimized ... i.e. he orchestrated his own being asked to leave. The reasons given by his commanding officer on how much of a terrible leader and example he was could have been controlled a lot better by Kerry ..
I am strongly of the impression that this was all part of his demented plan ... which changed again when he got stateside and out of the service, now seeing that 'war hero' wasn't going to make popular in the 70's.
