Wanted to see that again because I'm warming up for the day it happens and I can do this.
Does Gary mean Free Republic?
I think this is powerful good, Grampa!!!
At the end that tour, and when I separating from the military, I went to the top enlisted person on the base and had a face-to-face that lasted over three hours. Needless to say the crap hit the fan. My former supervisor was forced to retire soon afterwards. He could have been convicted of theft and sexual harrassment had I not "clammed up" when I was told to. I did the right thing eventually but not without great personal cost.
I was informed by superiors that had I decided to stay in the military I would receive the lousiest assignments they had to offer and that I would be under constant scrutiny, pressure, and ridicule. I decided to not reenlist and took a buyout.
Since my separation I was not, for about 3 years, able to gain meaningful employment due to negative comments being told by my former supervisor to companies who call for references. All of my military "buddies" shunned me. I'm just now starting to get things back together 10 years later.
I guess the thing that can be said about "whistle blowing" is this; if you can look at yourself in the mirror and know you did the right thing then you can hold your chin up high no matter what else has happened. It's hard, but I know I did the right thing.
Any time I wanted to explain the evils of the Clintons to friends and family, I would hand them Unlimited Access. It woke up a few.
Gary has suffered first hand. Kerry, Clintons, and the DNC will destroy anyone in their way.
We need to stay together on the grass roots level and put an end to their reign.

But expect neither help nor quarter from the majority of the people, or a majority of the press. The first will be apathetic in the main; the latter will be biased against you in the main.
But there is such a thing as doing what you know you should do. And that choice also means the corollary, "Let the Devil take the hindmost."

The Establishment means to rule with or without your informed consent - but they mean to rule.
Gary Aldrich, you are man of integrity and courage. You have my deepest admiration.
And so do the swift boat vets for truth. But I am not worried about them. They knew full well what they were getting into and proceeded anyway because it is the right thing to do, not the safe thing.
God bless them all!!!
We need to take into account all the reasons for their exposure to Kerry, whether totally politically motivated or to totally motivated by the truth. It's strange as there are some people from Kerry's war experience who stand by him, while others stand against him. There can't be two truths.
"while the Right ran and hid in the tall grass"
They'll ALWAYS run and hide in the tall grass because THEY are as much a part of the establishment as any one else.
You can't have an organized government WITHOUT an "establishment" and the potential upsetting of the order is simply too threatening to whatever they have been working for.
So they act like weasles.
The Truth WILL set you free, always, but it may "kill" you first.
Great post.
You might want to ping the admid mod to modify the title. As it is now, future searches might indicate that Gary was a swift boat vet.
A suggestion might be:
Former FBI Agent, Gary Alrich, Warns Swift Boat Vets
I hope Linda Tripp reads these words and sees herself there, too.
Sad that the general press in this country no longer even CONSIDERS objectivity important. We should close all journalism depts or at least rename them Depts of Propaganda.
Gary's warning is another prime example of why every Freeper who is against Kerry should donate to the Swift Boat Veterans fund to buy more tv time.

According to a Kerry campaign source, senior campaign advisers tasked two Washington-based campaign staffers to vet the recently published Unfit for Command.
"The purpose was to compare what that book had with what we had on file from Senator Kerry," says the campaign source, who said that the research project developed more than 75 instances where Kerry's recollections, previous remarks, or writings conflicted with the book's reporting.
"We took some of the most glaring examples, like the Christmas in Cambodia story, and presented them to senior staff, and we assume that those things were put in front of Senator Kerry," says the source. "We haven't heard a word about it. All we were told is that it was being taken care of."
The campaign source said that the book was not considered a "serious" problem for the campaign, because, "the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff," says the source.
"The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing, and that the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories. The senior guys really think we don't have a problem here."
A Swift Ping
Senator McPain should be the one who needs to go away. When is is this guy up for election? Arizona repubs need to replace him during the next primary.
The Swifties are real heroes for doing this. They have served their country again as heroes!
Thank you, Swifties, for your devotion to duty, and honor, and country.

Just read my tag line below. I believe that says it all.
It is the most significant validation in the last week.
Great article by Gary Aldrich. He's right about everything, well, he's been there. You Swift Boat Vets were heroes during the Vietnam War, and you're doubly heroes now. God bless you and keep you. We're at your side now and forever. And we will win.
There are still some of these "back-off, the liberals are angry" ankle grabbers. People like McCain have been so successful at turning the right's spine to jelly but I think those days are long gone.
