I'd like what other Marines who were in his unit have to say about him.

This may be one of those rare cases where the guy is truly an ex-Marine.

[ArmyBratproud]

Kerry is slime.

I'd like to hear what...

Preview works -- you just have to read it for it to do any good.

[Mach9]

Has any of this EVER been documented? Does anyone besides Kerry actually KNOW Bangert?

[uvular]

FWIW, there's a pic of Bangert & Kerry from 1984 at link. Paper claims Bangert was a Marine Seargant and helicopter gunner.

I'd like to know how this man makes a living now, or has he been on Kerry's payroll all this time?

[Taliesan]

They stopped the trucks--they didn't stop the truck, they slowed down a little bit, and it was just like response, the guys got up, including the lieutenants, and just blew all the kids away. There were about five or six kids blown away and then the truck just continued down the hill.

I have a hard time believing this.

I have a Marine buddy who was in VMO-6 at that time. I have snail mail headed his way with that question.

So this happened on his first day and he waited how many years to report it? And waited until he could embarrass his nation in front of the world, rather than report it when it happened?

Profiles in courage.

Johnny seems to have a Band of Bubbas on the payroll.

[kabar]

The GOP and/or SBVFT should show a picture of this guy on the stage with Kerry at the convention and then just give his bio. This is outrageous. I understand that Scott Camil, another Kerry VVAW pal, is working on his campaign in Florida. These guys must be exposed for what they are, traitors.

[uvular]

Will ya ping me if your buddy has an answer? I read on another story that Bangert hails from Brewster, Mass....

Have tried to find info about other brothers-Del Sanduske(Chicago, Captain of one of Kerry's boats), William Zaladonis, Jim Wasser, Drew Whitlow and Stephen Hatch, but not much luck other than finding their names.

I'd like to know how this man makes a living now Oh, this is toooo good. This is one of the people that started companies in VN after Klinton normalized trade relations with VN. He claims to have 2 homes--1 on Cape Cod in taxachusets, and the other in Hanoi, VN! The name of the company is BAI-VN, Ltd.

[Stentor]

My name is Joe Bangert. I'm a Philadelphia resident.

That is at least a partial explanation.
