FOX News reported this today:
And questions keep coming. For example, Kerry recieved a Purple Heart for wounds suffered on December 2, 1968. But in Kerry's own journal, written 9 days later, he writes he and his crew, "hadn't been shot at yet." Kerry's campaign has said it is possible his first Purple Heart was awarded for unintentionally self-inflicted wounds.
Sounds like some sort of admission to me.

I'd like to see O'Reilly bring Micheal Moore back on and ask him over and over again to admit Kerry is a liar just as Moore accused Bush.
To: West Coast Conservative
The Kerry Campaign has also sort of conceded that Kerry wasn't in Cambodia; although all the mouthpieces hadn't gotten the revised talkingpoints memo on that.

You're all gonna blow a gasket when your typical Kerry supporter say that he accepts that Kerry was a medal-grubbing glory hound who was awarded medals fraudulently, but they don't care, because he's still better than George W. Bush.
They're out there, these idiots. They are out there in the millions. Their hatred for the President consumes all reason, all logic, and all common sense.
At the end of the day, the SBVT charges will be generally accepted as true, and it will not significantly dent Kerry's support in the polls. Our only hope is that it influences the miniscule number of people still subject to persuasion and discourages Kerry's supporters on Election Day.

Jan 30, 1992" (in regards to the Clinton presidential campaign)" I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign, and that it has been inserted in what I feel to be the worst possible way. By that I mean that yesterday, during this Presidential campaign, and even throughout recent times, Vietnam has been discussed and written about without an adequate statement of its full meaning." blah blah blah "We do not need to divide America over who served and how. I have personally always believed that many served in many different ways. Someone who was deeply against the war in 1969 or 1970 may well have served their country with equal passion and patriotism by opposing the war as by fighting in it. Are we now, 20 years or 30 years later, to forget the difficulties of that time, of families that were literally torn apart, of brothers who ceased to talk to brothers, of fathers who disowned their sons, of people who felt compelled to leave the country and forget their own future and turn against the will of their own aspirations?"

BIG BUMP!! And absolutely true.
I can't trust the American Sheep to make an informed decision. And neither does the DNC.

"Kerry's campaign has said it is possible his first Purple Heart was awarded for unintentionally self-inflicted wounds. " Isn't a self inflicted wound, intentional or otherwise, not a legitimate qualification for a purple heart?
Let me get this straight. Kerry got out of the Navy after receiving three purple hearts. He had to get three in order to get out. If even one is not legitimate doesn't that mean that he was incorrectly allowed to get back to the states? And if that is so doesn't that mean he has been AWOL since 1969?
To: InvisibleChurch
Clinton had the knee pad brigades to support him.
Kerry has nothing like that.

Lying in order to receive an undeserved PH is the most despicable, unAmerican, act a military person can commit. I personally zipped guys in body bags, and many others were walking around with arms or legs missing, bloody bandages, and other terrible wounds, many disabling for life. For many Vietnam Vets, the PH was the only thanks they received for their sacrifice to and for their Country and because it is viewed with such high esteem (in some ways even higher than the CMH) it is revered and honored by veterans of ALL wars. It should not be trivialized or demeaned by "bandaid" wounds or stories of false heroics. Thousands of Purple Hearts currently rest at the bottom of a drawer, or in trunks, undiscovered by family members or close friends because real heroes rarely talk about the horrors of war, and the medals remind them of a time best forgotten. It has been my experience over the years that when you see an ex-military person exploiting his medals and writing books about how he obtained them, then, most likely, without any proof whatsoever, HE DIDN'T DESERVE THEM! John Kerry fits that profile perfectly.

If any one of the three was unearned, then doesn't that make Kerry the equivalent of a deserter?
This is a very serious development against Kerry.
To: rebel_yell2
Help me out here. I thought sKerry went back and worked in DC for a Navy Admiral or something like that for the rest of his tour. He was only allowed to leave Vietnam because of the 3 PH rule.
Am I wrong? And if I am right - that would mean he was not AWOL but would likely mean he provided false and/or misleading information - which no doubt is still a violation.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
