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.
Right indeed. He would be more of a national nightmare than even Clinton was. And that's saying somthing!
DUmmies have been pushing the "Kerry served two tours" thing alot lately. Laughable.
As for Brinkley, he's a disgrace.
When Kerry volunteered for the Swift Boats, they were simply patrolling the bays and coast and were NOT coming under fire. When he found out that the mission had changed and he could actually get hurt, he used every boo-boo and owie to apply for a PH to get out of Vitnam as quickly as possible.
P.S. However, I would not tell any person who had REALLY earned their PH with a wound serious enough to be sent home early that they did not s[end a tour in Vietnam, even if that wound occurred in their first week in country.
So if Kerry served two tours in four months, my hubby seerved six tours in a year.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I remember how news of Clinton crimes and corruption often made the British papers before it hit big here. Even though we've known about Kerry trying to get out of his Viet Nam service by requesting to study for a year in France, most people don't know, because the media here has never contradicted Kerry's account.
