Latest Kerry "Self-Proclaiming Hero" Problems! Swift Boat Rescue Story Springs Another Leak!

Seems Kerry's "I'm a Swift Boat Hero" story has sprung another leak.

Kerry claimed a Bronze Star with "V" device for rescuing Jim Rassmann, an Army SF 0-2 after a mine exploded under a boat, knocking Rassman into the water.

That Kerry pulled Rassman out of the water is not contested, but the Bronze Star is now being questioned.

According to tro friends at network, not just Rassman but a total of 4 men went into the water that day. Kerry saved Rassman, another boat saved another soldier and a third boat pulled two people to safety!

The problem is, for the other boat skippers, it was all in a day's work. No medals were asked for, recomended or awarded.

Kerry pulls one in four out of the water and gets the Bronze Star!

What does not compute here????

Media types are at DOD Awards Branch, trying to get the documents on this.

Semper Gumby!

Audie Murphy any day!
THAT man truly went "To Hell and Back."

" have this funny feeling in my bones that come september, we are going to see the MSM turn on Kerry like a pack of Rabid dogs."

I think they'll wait though until after the GOP Convention;
if Dubya gets the expected 'bump,' and looks like winning, THEN they'll begin to savage Kerry just like coyotes go after the wounded dog.

They'll wait to be sure they're on the winning side.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yup. That's why I said that Post-Republican convention would be a bad time for Kerry... Agreed.

He most likely made it more than once. Mr. President, I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the President of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared-seared-in me, that says to me, before we send another generation into harm's way we have a responsibility in the U.S. Senate to go the last step, to make the best effort possible in order to avoid that kind of conflict.

Sounds like a winning combination!

Zippo? Kerry used a Zippo? The upper crust would never use a Zippo. Zippo's are for those who demand efficiency. Snobs prefer gold plated doodads over effiency.

Kerry wakes up screaming....." DOWN...DOWN.....DOWN'!!!! while he's pushing on Tersa's head!! She said she hasn't gotten throttled yet, but it's been close!!! She also intimated that he was under some dr.s care for it!!!

It sounds like a man on Kerry’s boat was relaxing eating a cookie. When another boat hit a mine and sunk. Kerry hit the gas to get out of the area, and his cookie eat partner fell off the back. Kerry turn around picked up his clumsily cookie eating crewmate, while the other boats rescued the survivors from the sinking boat. And Kerry received a medal for his heroics that day. Is this the story?

Almost

Apparently,before turning around and returning, he made damn sure there was no hostile fire in the area.

Well, so what. Kerry doesn't have that old Bronze Star anyway. He threw it over the fence. No, wait. That was somebody else's medals he threw away. His are on the wall in his senate office. Hey, here's a plan. Let's give out Bronze Stars to everybody involved in action that day. Mama T. pays, plus drinks on Mama T. How's that. Hmm. Maybe not. Something smells here.

[blackie]

Smart man! :)

[F.J. Mitchell]

Clinton and Hillary sold themselves to the dumbest voters as two for the price of one. Kerry on the other hand is advertising himself not only as a Commander-in-Chief but also as an Army, Air Force,Navy, Marine Corp and Coast Guard, for the price of one. Imagine an armed forces of one-just for the price of a President alone.

How can we say no to that? Maybe: HEEHAWHEEHAWHEEHAWHEEHAWHEEHAWHEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

The fire can be dangerous. I am mindful of the fire.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Then the Media and the Dims will have Kerry officially declared insane and unfit to serve and run Hillary in as a replacement, ala New Jersey's last Senatorial election.

[blackie]

Ya musta been singed a couple of times. :)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I have a high tolerance to pain.

[txrangerette]

Wasn't it RIBBONS not the medals
themselves Kerry tossed? But were
they HIS ribbons or a fellow vet's
b/c Kerry's were back at home when
he was in D.C. protesting...

I THINK that's right BUT...er...

Wait!

Ribbons/medals were all the same.

Right?????????

My head hurts.

[VOA]

Another "illegally ordered into" a Christmas in Cambodia scenario... by Nixon before he was even Commander-In-Chief (President) BUMP!

[cake_crumb]

Or maybe his ribbons and his fellow vets medals were "absolutely interchangable"?
