Samuel Z. Goldhaber, "John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress"
Kerry is a pilot, and on October 14 and 15 he flew Ted Kennedy's advisor Adam Walinsky by private plane throughout the State of New York so that Walinsky could give speeches against the Vietnam War. But Kerry was smart enough not to put down "Moratorium" on the Navy signout sheet for that Tuesday and Wednesday. The following month, Kerry was sick and did not engage in the November moratorium activities.
Check out Kerry's early military months after he was turned down by his draft board for a "Slick Willie" year studying post-grad in Fraaaaance.
Kerry seemed to have some lingering health problems then too.
Read up on how he claims to have inspired all the 400 crew on the GRIDLEY [Kerry had about 30 under him!] and how he pumped up his duties and attempted to take his superior's positions.
How he took credit for other's work and titles; how he talked of hearing and seeing B-52s roaring down low; putting on his .45 to go ashore when he did not; seeing big piles of bodies that did not exist.
Kerry wrote fantasy tales thruout his life and still does.
It shows you just how intelligent his backers are.
