Another little John Kerry Vietnam story. See if you can detect why it's another Kerry lie.

Do you have any pets that have made an impact on you personally? Kerry: I have always had pets in my life and there are a few that I remember very fondly. When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck. I think he provided all of us with a link to home and a few moments of peace and tranquility during a dangerous time. One day as our swiftboat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol.

Simply put, whatever you believe about the dog Kerry claims to have had on his swift boat in Vietnam, pictures do not lie. I tried to paste the image here, but couldn't, so please go to the below link to see the photo.
And really, are questions about dogs 40 years ago really worth this bitter political discourse?

Did you sign up TODAY just to post that comment? And to post a link leading to a Kerry propaganda piece along with a Kerry exculpation photo?

Begone, thoust troll.

It's about John Kerry's pattern of behavior. He's a liar and an opportunist. So, yes it is important.

and (the dog) landed confused, but unhurt,

All dogs need and deserve God's Blessing in a situation like this.
How did John Kerry know the dog was confused?

I am not sure we 'average' people understand fully the capabilities of JFJ II! (/sc)

And the pilots of that boat would have known which other boat had the dog on it.
