Kerry titles his book "Tour of Duty" for his service in Vietnam. He also claims that he had TWO tours of duty in Vietnam (because of his time on the USS Gridley)
Kerry twists the truth so much, you have to watch EVERY WORD HE SAYS. He will lie to you and weave a story (lie) so subtly that you are unaware that he is taking you down the prim-rosed path.
Here is the truth as compared to Kerry's lies. KERRY NEVER EVEN SERVED ONE TOUR IN VIETNAM. HE IS A LIER.
Yes he was in Vietnam (for 4 months) and yes he was on the deep water coast of Vietnam on the USS Gridley (for 5 weeks)but he did not serve a tour in Vietnam.
A Tour in the Nam was 12 months, one year, 365 days, one circle around the sun. Guys would count down the days until their time was up. It was a big deal. When you only had a few weeks to go until your year was up, you were "SHORT", going home soon.
This issue is important for this reason. John Kerry knows that he didn't serve a Tour, let alone TWO Tours, yet he brazenly reports that he did, he lies. Kerry lies about almost everything. That's my point. He can not be trusted.
One might argue 'Well, the time that Kerry spent in Nam was HIS tour, so what is the big deal". If that is your argument then Kerry should have named his book "My Time in Nam" or something. Not lie and give the impression that he spent a tour in Nam. AND, there is NO excuse for his claim for TWO TOURS in Nam, my God. What a lier.
Kerry's lies smack of Michael Mooreism.
As far as Unfit for Command is concerned, I have read it. The Swifties could give a crap less if John Kerry got medals, their issue is the same as what I explained above (and the fact that Kerry smeared their good name with lies) and that is that Kerry can not be trusted. He is unfit for command.
i am totally amazed that Kerry has even got this far, too think that a person with his background and socialist beliefs could even be nominated to be a contender for the position of President of the United States is astounding. I believe in politics you get the politician you deserve and the fact that approx 50% of the United States voting public choose not to participate in their democratic rights, says much about why this man is even a candidate. Most Americans care little or not enough to actually have a say in their future.
According to a DD215 was submitted or processed on Mar. 12, 2001 to change his DD214 to read that he had four clusters for his Vietnam Service Medal. He was only awarded the ribbon before that.
Wonder what the justification was?
On an FR thread tonight someone posted a link to a WSJ site called "coverup.com." It's an interesting site. On a JFK assassination page they have a shot of the dustcover of an expose book about JFK called "A Question Of Character." That's the problem with the K-flopper - the mounting mountain of credible evidence that what character he has is bad.
