Kerry's doctor, Gerald Doyle, said he could not characterize the severity of the wounds since he didn't see them, but he noted that Kerry was in danger of serious injury several times.

Haaaaa ha ha ha. This has got to be the most laughable bit of writing I have seen in a very long time.

"I never saw the wound so I can not say how bad it was. I never saw him in fighting but I can tell you in was in danger of serious injury several times!!!!

Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan interrupted Doyle to ask that he only comment on Kerry's medical records in the military,

of which he had no first hand knowledge and was fed information.

Shrapnel from a grenade that the moron Kerry threw into a rice cache...
if any of the idiotic reporters on the beat today had spent one day in uniform much less one day in combat in Nam they would know that unless there was enemy contact, which there wasn't on the day in question, then Kerry would not be eligible for a PH.

Instead, Kerry should have received the Max Cleland medal for stupidity...
Or "The Do's & Don'ts of Grenades"!!!

next case...

Tim Russert: Mr. Kerry, how do we know for sure that you have a piece of shrapnel in your left thigh ....??

Kerry: "Well, Tim, when the doctor examined me and told me to "turn my head and cough", he yelled, "Oh, my God, there's shrapnel in there..!!!"

Kerry got his first Purple Heart after he got shrapnel in his left arm above his elbow. Doyle said if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him.

Und I say: "If the dog hadn't stopped to pee,he would have caught thee rabbit".

What kind of fools do they take the American public to be?

I suspect that he will release his records (SF-180) but late in the game and only after he has managed to have them sanitized.

I have no idea as to how he could clean them up, but I wouldn't put anything past this Traitorous Freak.

Kerry was in danger of serious injury several times I should get this "doctor" to write MY bio. He can describe how close I was to death when the SCUD missile hit in Al Jubail bay in 91. It missed the pier, loaded with ammo, etc, by a couple of hundred yards. BUT! IF, and I mean IF it HADDDDD hit the pier, I COULDDDDDDD have been seriously wounded.

I'm still shocked that he did not put in a PH chit after going through the "shot" line prior to deploying...

ROTFL!

Kerry also was wounded by a piece of shrapnel on Feb. 20, 1969, this time on his left thigh.


How does this date fit in with the purple hearts? Not ringing a bell with me. If this is true why has it not been mentioned before?

"...if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him."

Funny, that's what my mother always said about throwing things or shooting a BB gun.

Hmm, BB gun - shrapnel, Shrapnel - BB gun....

Doyle said the skin rash on Kerry's chest, arms and legs in 1967 was probably an inflammation of hair follicles from the warm weather in San Diego, where he trained before going to Vietnam. It was treated with a steroid cream.

Wow, I've lived in San DIego since 1972 and never needed steroid cream. Guess he couldn't handle 72 degrees with night and morning low clouds.

Shrapnel in his thigh

a few rocks in a mostly hollow head

and the big fist of the puppet masters up his rear manipulating his every snivelly move.

I wonder if Hanoi John kept that LAMINATED LIGHT DUTY CHIT as a war trophy? No doubt, it got him out of a LOT of tight places. Yeah, probably in the same spot as that CIA hat.

WARNING!!

This is John Edwards' work. He has disappeared for the last few days, probably poring over Kerry's medical records to craft a medical case for the public for his troubled running mate.

THE SHRAPNEL CLAIM WAS FIRST HEARD BY EDWARDS 3 DAYS AGO!!!

"How does this date fit in with the purple hearts?"

At his website Kerry has two spot reports for his purple hearts - but NOT for the December 1968 incident! Has always covered up that one.

The report for February 1969 reports "shrapnel" but not that any was left in him. We don't have the medical reports, except as filtered through the doctor he hired.
