Ask Kerry to sign the 180 and release his records.
Posted on 08/17/2004 11:03:10 PM PDT by FairOpinion
A number of the combat commanders, fellow officers and other men who served with Sen. John Kerry in Vietnam have challenged his accounts of combat heroism in a new book, "Unfit for Command" (Regnery Publishing), by John E. O´Neill, who took over command of Swift Boat PCF 94 from Lt. Kerry, and Jerome R. Corsi, a political scientist who has written extensively about the Vietnam War protest movement. Each of these excerpts from "Unfit for Command" includes comparisons of Mr. Kerry´s earlier published accounts to recollections of others who served with him.
First of three excerpts
Kerry, now the four-term senator from Massachusetts and the Democratic presidential nominee, is also the only known "Swiftee" who received the Purple Heart for a self-inflicted wound. None of Kerry's three Purple Hearts was for serious injuries. They were minor scratches, resulting in no lost duty time. Each of these decorations is controversial, with considerable evidence (and in two cases, incontrovertible and conclusive evidence) that the injuries were caused by his own hand and not the result of hostile fire. Kerry's injuries are a subject of ridicule among fellow Swiftees.

Ask Kerry to sign the 180 and release his records.
I got my copy yesterday and the volume of documentation,direct quotes and footnotes is impressive.
What is just unbelievable is the number of times, you read a sentence like-(sometimes 3 times on a page)
Kerry imagined this,
Kerry made this up,
Kerry lied about this,
Kerry fantasized this.
Each trip that Kerry took to Fantasy Island is fully documented by the eye witnesses, sometimes 20 others-whose recall is 180 from Kerry's.
Plus supporting paperwork .
As more and more people receive and read the book, the first reaction is shock that Kerry could have gotten away with this total fabrication for decades.
But, then you look at the treatment the book is getting now and you understand.
I am amazed that a newspaper finally printed the story. They also did not make the SBV look like liars. Maybe Kerry's campaign will finally start imploding.
Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
The Washington Times is a conservative paper.
It's still not in the "mainstream media".
Peck told him: "Kerry, follow me no closer than a thousand yards. If you get any closer, I'll teach you what a real Purple Heart is."
HAHAHAHAHA ! DAMN!
-John Kerry- some selected, informative links...--
If you wish to support the SBV, click the picture:
That is one very damning quote.
Peck was the skipper of PCF-94. His January action (that resulted in him and Alston being wounded) was the one kerry tried to claim as his own. He caught on very quickly that kerry couldn't be trusted.
Yes, but it's still being excerpted in the media......and with the amount of "talk" this will generate and the amount of people it will reach who maybe normally wouldn't buy the book, it is SOOOOOOO worth it!!!!! This AIN'T going away!!
HEY, the website
http://swiftboats.net/
is back up!
That's the one that does the best it can to list EVERY
swiftboat veteran it can, and the boat(s) he served on,
and when.
Brinkley's book (Tour of Duty) the authorized and official biography of the weird one has Kerry writing in his diary that he has yet to be fired on by the enemy...and that comment is written nine days AFTER his so called first purple heart incident

Very interesting. I haven't heard this pointed out before.
Kerry's house of cards is starting to collapse.
I bet he gets elected (I hope not) because most of the public are idiots when it comes to knowing who they are voting for.
"John Fraud Kerry reporting for duty, UN you now have total comtrol of our military. Just make sure you send someone in my administration a memo if you send our forces to war."
I wish that bogus site would just die.
It lists kerry as having been on PCF-66 (which he wasn't) for his entire time there. It doesn't list him on PCF-44 or PCF-94 (which he was).
I still want to hear Kerry explain how one gets a non-friendly fire shrapnel wound in a boat, while engaging the enemy on shore. It simply defies the laws of physics. If the VC fired a mortar or RPG at the boat and hit it they would have killed everyone in the boat. If they missed and hit the water there would have been no shrapnel. The only possible way to get shrapnel from the enemy in this situation is if the Vietcong had dropped a round on themselves with the resulting shrapnel hitting the boat. M40 grenades have very distinctive shrapnel and a medic or doctor with any experience would spot it instantly.
its the magic shrapnel, he learned about that from JFK and the Warren Commission report or his buddy Teddy...
