Somebody send this to O'Reilly. I'm sick and tired of emailing them at Fox.

[austingirl]

Send this to O'reilly and tell him the guy who signed the report worked for the doctor and did his paperwork.

Kerry is more like JFK than he realizes.

Cheater, failed military man, (Bay of Pigs), asleep when he should have been awake on his PT109.....

Time for the sheeple to wake up.....

He put a Curad on it and made his booboo all better.

"Letson said Kerry told him he and a boat crew of about five enlisted men were on patrol that night when they began receiving small arms fire and he was injured."
I don't know this is bad reporting or what, buit there were only 2 other people on the boat (a Boston Whaler). There was a full Lt. (Kerry's training officer) and an enlisted man.

A retired family doctor said Thursday he used a Band-Aid..

I've had worse fights with girls. I've cut myself worse shaving.

What a puss...

Ouch! That smarts!

Looked up the Purple Heart rules and found one that probably would give most folks pause while considering whether or not to authorize the award under the circumstances described in the lead article.

It's this one: (g) Accidents, to include explosive, aircraft, vehicular, and other accidental wounding not related to or caused by enemy action.

If ITEM G is applicable, the award is not made. The problem is the man was going out into bandit country and even if this was "accidental" it occurred in the midst of something related directly to "enemy action" ~ namely, the "enemy" was where they were going.

What we have is a triple-negative. It was partially clarified in a revision to the rules made in 1973.

I heard Dr. Letson on a radio interview today (with Tom Marr in Baltimore) & he is extremely credible.

[Mo1]

"He had fired it up close against some rocks on shore when the grenade exploded" and he was hit in the arm by shrapnel, Letson said. "That's what caused the injury. The fragment was not from enemy fire" as Kerry portrayed it, the crew told him.

Dr. Letson was on my Philly Talk Radio a week or so ago and said EXACTLY what was mentioned in this article

Dom G. (the radio guy) said he found Dr. Letson to be very creditable

[kellynla]

Letson said Kerry told him he and a boat crew of about five enlisted men were on patrol that night when they began receiving small arms fire and he was injured.

And when Kerry went to his Commanding Officer and "requested" a Purple Heart(which no one in American wartime history has ever "requested" a PH), his C.O. laughed in Kerry's face because aside from the minuscule size of the scratch, according to Kerry's own crew, they told the C.O.; that there was NO ENEMY CONTACT THAT DAY!!! Helloooooooooooooooooooo

KERRY IS AS BOGUS AS A 3 DOLLAR BILL!!!

[Corin Stormhands]

The late President John F. Kennedy was injured when a Japanese destroyer collided with the small patrol boat (PT-109) he commanded in World War II.

Oh yeah. Too bad Kerry's daddy didn't pay someone to write a book for him...

[My2Cents]

Is it possible to get a Purple Heart for a bruised ego?

[Logical me]

Watch out for O'Reilly, he is accusing the SwiftVet of making unsupported remarks since he says they were not in his boat. O'Reilly is making a mistake and he evidently doesn't understand how close knit the boat guy were.

[KeyLargo]

Isn't it funny how Demoncrats can re-write history as if everyone else has selective memory just as they do.

I can just imagine how future government history screwel books will be portraying Kerry as a war hero to all of the little tykes and how Bill Clinton will be considered for enshrinement on Mt. Rushmore.

I guess the other two in the whale boat were lucky they didn't get hit with grenade shrapnel from kerry's shot.

[GOPJ]

Are there any reporters left - well, those not on the Kerry payroll. Reporters who can follow the truth, not a political agenda? We need answers.

Who's telling the truth?

Why won't the liberal press get to the bottom of this mystery? Would it be different if this was a negative story about Bush?

Letson said Kerry told him he and a boat crew of about five enlisted men were on patrol that night when they began receiving small arms fire and he was injured. But Letson said the crew told a different story after Kerry left the office. "They were kind of amused by the whole thing," he said. The crew members denied that they had been under enemy fire, Letson said. The crew said it was about 2 a.m. when they thought they saw some people on shore and Kerry fired a M79 grenade launcher. "He had fired it up close against some rocks on shore when the grenade exploded" and he was hit in the arm by shrapnel, Letson said. "That's what caused the injury. The fragment was not from enemy fire" as Kerry portrayed it, the crew told him.
