BE careful, before any accusations are made, be sure we have the facts well in hand. A slip up at this point could cause everything to be doubted.

---Anyone catch what Del Sandusky told the LA Times the other day? No one clearly saw Kerry shoot the wounded kid. Me thinks they are starting to cover their tracks.---

Soon they'll start to have memory loss. Rasman looks sweaty and uncomfortable. A few hard questions could crack that one.

After both Kerry and Alston departed Vietnam, the two stayed in contact and Kerry had invited Alston to his first wedding, to Julia Thorne in 1970, and sent Christmas cards to Alston's parents' house.

That does sound like the actions of guys who served together in some capacity. We need to be careful with this one.

He has what sounds like talking points. He rarely deviates from that one story. He "forgets" other details. Yep. I think more questioning would confuse his testimony.

Kerry could end this right now if he weren't so ashamed of his military records.

You may very well be correct but it would be a huge lie, sinking his crewmates credibility too, I would word it a little less certain for safety's sake an opinion not statement of fact until further proven, JMHO,

....summary of Kerry's missions at the kerry site shows no mission between 2/28 and 3/11 with combat, combat noted on 3/12 no mention of Kerry's boat...Rassman incident on 3/13,(I forget, how do you know he wasn't on the boat on 3/13?) and according to your quote on 2/28 Alston was still recovering from wounds..missing records needed..how about someone going to the National Archives and checking out all the reports, they would not be personal to Kerry...

Hannity and the vet did an excellent job on his FOX show. Very believable!
The left keeps bringing out people who weren't there, but the vets were. All the left has is one really sweaty guy and millions of spinners. The vets are showing up in person.

They had became friends while COSDIV 11 and 13 were conducting ops. But from the chronology of Kerry's and Alston's service do not place these guys serving with each other on missions, just at the same port.

Yes, I agree with you. I was referring to the Freeper that had to "eat crow" today on Hannity. At the time, I thought it kind of made all Freepers look bad, but looking back on it now, I think I was probably just taking it too personally.

Kriminy Krapola Kerry - ping.

(Are his Viet Nam War "friends" as big as a liar as the genuine package?)

__________________________

"Only problem with the above statements is that the are flat out false because (the Reverand) David Alston was never a crew member under Sen. Kerry nor could he had ever participated in combat operations with Sen. Kerry because they were from two different boats.

From December to January 29, 1969 Sen. Kerry commanded the PCF-44 while David Alston was the Gunner onboard the PCF-94 under Lt.(jg) Peck. On January 29, 1969 both Peck and Alston were wounded and hospitalized. We know Alston was wounded on that date because his causality report was made available briefly by the Kerry Campaign before they removed it.">

What is it with all the Democrat "Reverands", anyhow?

Doug Reese was an army guy who was on the March 13 mission and he said Alston was not on Kerry's boat. Reese is a pro Kerry supporter too!

Also note there is a March 4 ceremony in which Kerry's crew posed for a picture AND NO ALSTON.

Good research, and as others have said, still we seem to have some loose ends, but the Kerry pattern of fabrication for political reasons makes everything look suspicious to me.

---You may very well be correct but it would be a huge lie, sinking his crewmates credibility too---

A fabric of lies, a tapestry of lies. I wonder if Dr. Letson treated Alston. Wouldn't he have had to sign off on his return to combat duty. I'm assuming Alston got a rather generous time to recuperate from his wound back at the unit. You want to observe someone with a head injury carefully before returning them in a high performance duty.

I should had added this evidence to my article, and will, but what is important is this is Kerry's crew from the PCF-94 dated sometime after March 6, 1969. How do I know this? Zumwalt pinned his SS on him March 6, and the picture below shows him with his Silver Star and (cough) Purple Heart. There is NO Alston.

My prayers are with you. And your Dad as well.

The festering wound was laid open raw by the likes of Jane Fonda, magget infested hippies, the hate for the military that spewed forth from the press of that time, and opputurnists seeking personal gain such as Kerry.

The shame of it was misplaced from the vileness of the above mentioned to the noble service of our troops.

I remember being pelted by tomatoes and eggs upon arriving home at SEA-TAC in 69.
