Here is the kind of liar that Kerry is:
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 until it is too late.
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 seems to lie about almost everything. That's my point. He cannot 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 liar.
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 his lies) and that is that Kerry cannot be trusted. He is unfit for command.
Kerry embellished (lied) in his after action reports to get medals that he didn’t deserve. He lied when he came back from Vietnam when he spoke before the Senate Intelligence Committee when he said that his fellow Vietnam Veterans committed atrocities. He has never provided any proof that his accusations were true, and in fact now admits that his accusations were “over the top”. Over the top! They were lies!
POW’s who were in North Vietnam prison camps when Kerry was telling his lies to the Senate and the American public were tortured and threatened to be tried as War Criminals and “would never go home” because of Kerry’s lies. Kerry’s lies are unforgivable.
General Vo Nguyen Gaip , the Commanding officer of the North Vietnamese Military and Bui Tin who served on the General Staff of the North Vietnam Army and received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 both claim that North Vietnam was poised to negotiate a surrender because of the Communist’s military failures during the 1968 Tet Offensive and thereafter. But because of the Anti-War movement in America (led by John Kerry and his lies) they felt that the Demonstrations “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
America was kicking the Communist’s butt in every battle. General Westmoreland had the Communist’s number and was winning the war. America’s pullout of Vietnam was due to Kerry and his group of Demonstrators. Kerry’s lies played a very significant part in causing America to lose the war in Vietnam.
Because of John Kerry and others like him there are more names on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D. C. than there otherwise would have been. There was also the slaughter of a few million South Vietnamese when America pulled out that is attributable to John Kerry and his lies. John Kerry has blood dripping from his lies.
When I returned home to Las Angeles from Vietnam in 1971 my head was spinning as I walked through the Terminal at LAX, thinking about the culture of war that I had just left while looking around at the opulence of America. When I stepped outside onto the sidewalk a group of “Longhairs” walked by and one of them spat on me while the others called me a “Baby Killer”. The treatment that I received, and have lived with for the past 33 years, was due to John Kerry and his lies.
John Kerry does not have the moral integrity, honesty, or judgment to be the Commander-In-Chief of the world’s most powerful military. John Kerry is unfit for command
Excellent.
A bit long---and fix the spelling of LIAR in the 4th paragraph. Other than that it's great!
re : your paragraph
General Vo Nguyen Gaip , the Commanding officer of the North Vietnamese Military ...... But because of the Anti-War movement in America (led by John Kerry and his lies) they felt that the Demonstrations “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses.
According to Unfit for Command, Kerry did more than encourage the North Vietnamese, He met with them in Paris in May of 1970. Page 126.
GREAT LETTER!!!!!
You might add that congress found that many of the veterans that kerry spoke for had not been in the military or been in NAM.
Excellent letter, but check your spelling of Los Angles (I know it's just a typo but papers are picky)
Excellent but you must shorten it drastically or an editor will.
I agree with you.
BUT...
cut it to 150 words and bust them in the balls on the first sentence and castrate them in the last.
nobody reads long letters.
especialy not the editorial staffs of liberal rag newspapers.
robert
Otherwise, great letter! (The freepers who gave advice on what editorial page editors look for are probably worth listening to.)
Good luck with it! And let us know.
