I have been sending emails asking for media research on how many other Vietnam vets could claim that many medals in 4 months of combat or how many other vets have received 3 Purple Hearts with no lost time from service. That should be a fairly simple search to do but so far none of them have responded.
If these guys are liars, why did Kerry use their photos in his campaign ads?
Who pays for his "Band" to travel around the country with him.
Three purple hearts in such a short period of time! And not one severe wound! Limb lost EC.. Most Purple Heart winners were severly wounded, loss of limb ec
I can't speak for all vets, of course, only myself, but I am proud to be a Navy vet, of 2 full Vietnam deployments, and I can't think of anyone who actually earned those amount and type of medals in as short a time as Kerry claims. (I sure as heck don't have them ;-)
I have heard so many stories about has actions with the Swift Boats, including his grandstanding "McArthur returns to the Phillipines" stunt, instead of standing off and engaging the enemy with the .50's which would have been a much more sensible method of engagement (Why, would ANYONE decide to beach the boat and step ashore in a Hot area, when the proper and more sensible response would be to use the .50's and macerate whatever happens to be along the bank...
Nope, nobody earned all that in that short a time, as far as I know, methinks he is a "Stolen Valor" finalist, a liar, which, of course is status quo for any dim candidate....makes him a hero to the dumbo rank and file...
