Sounds like a total of 4 or 5 weeks total....
Quite a medal haul for that short of time.
Bought it last night at Hastings for $16.88.It is a must read book. I stayed up until 2AM, so will finish it today.
If everyone in the swing states would thoughtfully read this book, I think that Bush would easily take those states. The book is very well documented.
Nothing like a loser; tying for a'win/win' on that cake; not a pretty sight, for sure.
Kerry is walking a tight rope; so to speak; as he must depend on new friends; while trying not to alienate those that 'expedited' him along the 'Leftist' trail.
As for 'real' friends; no indication that he has any.
Ping to debunked/new details in Alston saga.
"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."
Alston is still taking orders from Massah Kerry.
People like this don't have friends. They use and are used.
I saw his headless body spurting blood as I ran past his demolished trailer on the way to a bunker.
I sustained temporary loss of hearing, minor cuts and bruises, but otherwise was unhurt.
A couple of weeks later, I was medivaced to the 93rd Evac in Long Binh (for an unrelated medical emergency) where I spent 24 days as a patient and where I truly saw the horrors of war.
As horrible as the rocket attack was, my near month long stay in the field hospital is, as Kerry says, "seared in my mind" and for the life of me, I will never understand why this Kerry fellow is trumpeting his "wounds" as a reason he should be president of my country, especially after his traitorous conduct upon release from active duty.
In my mind, some of the greatest heroes of the Vietnam War were the doctors and nurses who dealt with all the maimings and death on a day-to-day basis and suffered great emotional trauma as they tried to relieve other's suffering.
It's very easy for me to understand the doctor's (the doctor who treated Kerry's "wound") clear recollection of the incident as he undoubtedly was disgusted at having to take precious time away from his frantic work pace to deal with the self-serving scummy naval officer who was clearly there in order to document his phony quest for a Purple Heart.
I would like to recommend a book by Winnie Smith entitled "American Daughter Gone To War" subtitled: "On The Front Lines With An Army Nurse In Vietnam." When I'm up to it, I try to read it again, but can never get too far into it without sobbing uncontrollably.
He did, but was caught by Kranish, and called out on it in an April 23, 2004 article. Kerry's website was modified so that it did not directly take credit for the January missions. It also removed all of the January Spot Reports that had previously been made available.
This is like a battle.
To get the truth (or a retraction) you need to catch them in their lies.
Kerry needs to open his records.
The media silence is DEAFENING!
THERE MUST BE SOME FREEPERS who are friends of or relatives of or friends of friends or friends of relatives of these idiots supporting SKERRY.
It seems to me we could do some research/detective work about why the turkeys are so gah gah over SKERRY.
Is it because they are really mindless idiots?
Or is it more likely that they are rather unsophisticated characters rather gah gah over wealth, privilege and empty promises (for positions???) of a potential President?
WHY are these idiots so supportive of SKERRY when most everyone with a brain level above a slug can tell the guy is as hollow and phoney as a $3 bill.
I think this mystery is a significant one that begs for a solution, explanation.
--a real, solid explanation.
The Kerry/Alston point is a minor issue -- but helpful inasmuch as it induces a look into the Swiftees contentions about the circumstances that resulting in the improvident granting of medals, and in Kerry's lies that the Swiftees engaged in war atrocities.
Where indeed?
We must let them know, that we know. . .they are 'AWOL, as public guardians.
And if that message can carry a cancelation; even better.
Kerry is gonna pull a stunt at the VFW on Wednesday to "promote healing" and "put this controversy behind us."
Again. Some of them are getting a sense that their credibility is being chipped away, and the chips are never going to be repaired.
The difference in how the media is handling the Swiftees substantiated claims, compared with how it handled Terry McAulife's un-substantiated claim (Bush was AWOL, or whatever), is becoming evident to quite a few people. The DEM shills are in denial, on this point.
Kerry is truly nuts if he brings these historical matters up in more than a passing reference. He may broadly denounce reviews of history, claiming that they only open old wounds, but he is crazy if he says anything about his personal history (e.g., "It's unfair that I am attacked, while you men were not").
I would think most of his talk will be making empty promises ($$$), after thanking and praising the veterans for their service.
When you consider that journalism has been openly opposed to anticommunism since the Tet offensive during the Johnson Administration, the Republican Party has some serious teaching to do:
I don't know what he is going to do, but he is going to pull some stunt and attempt some way out of this, because the stonewalling is not working.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
