Kerry Stonewalling on Medals Mystery
Newsmax.com ^ | Aug. 29, 2004

Posted on 08/29/2004 9:27:56 PM PDT by ArmyBratproud

Kerry campaign officials are refusing to answer questions about discrepancies in the military records posted to the presidential candidate's campaign web site after Navy officials and outside experts challenged the authenticity of some of Kerry's decorations.

Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb said Sunday that he's tried to reach Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan ten times about the controversy - all without response.

Imagine, Bush gets a healthy bounce off the Convention. Kerry continues to take a beating from the Swiftvets and others, and is exposed as a military fraud. Bush is re-elected.

sKerry will do down in history as the presidential candidate who was disgraced over his war record.

Anyone with me? ;)

It'd be interesting to hear what Dena M. Martin says about the circumstances that prompted the issuance of the DD215.

You don't suppose that DD-214 posted to the Kerry website is a fake? I've begun to wonder about some of the others as well. They are too sloppy even for the Navy (It's a joke Squids, a joke!).

The DD-214 shows him as a Lt(JG) while other documents say he was promoted to Lt (O-3) on 1 Jan 70. One document says he left active duty on 3 Jan 70, but the DD-214 shows the date of release as 01 March 70. Now he had 31 days of leave coming, again according to the DD-214, but that would only get him to early February if he took it as "terminal leave", which was the practice in those days when you couldn't get paid for unused leave.

If this gets any traction, it way more than Hugh and series. If you stay in shower for the fun and games, you'll come out looking like Janet Reno.

> I suppose the old adage "what goes around comes

Or in Kerry's case:

"What goes around, runs aground."

> he should only have 2 stars on the Vietnam Service Medal.

Is he even entitled to a VSM?

I read on another thread that it required more time
than he put in.

Of course, there might be an exception if you were
sent home on the 3xPH terms.

But then, if one or more of the PH's was fraudulent ...

Obviously, it won't happen. But I'm beginning to have hope that his treason will see the light of day. And in the context of his exposure as a poseur, it will be the coup de grace. [Love that french lingo]

He's not entitled to a "V" with the Silver Star, since Navy regs don't allow for such a thing. Navy is not saying that he doesn't deserve the Silver Star.

he should have done prison time a long time ago after he met with the North Vietnamese in France



Especially since he was discharged in 1978. Heard that on Drudge tonight.

SEMPER FI

"The Navy is now saying Kerry's records are incorrect," he added.

The Navy must be lying too. The only one telling the truth is kerry, and he has the forged records to prove it.

Keep digging, kerry.
You're doing fine.

"I've run across several claims for Silver Stars with combat V's, but they were all in fake records," he told Lipscomb.

I want to be a fly on the wall at the DNC. LOL

Somewhere, Hillary is smirking.

Waiting for the Party to call for her to save them?

There's always a black lining to every silver cloud.

Ooo...do ya hear that? That's the wheels coming off of the bus.

This is the 21st century. I'd say the wing is coming off the campaign aircraft. That's probably a better analogy anyway. It's makes for a much more spectacular crash, and this one is going to be a doozy.

Oh there is more.

The democrats have shot and killed hundreds of thousands of US citizens.

Fact: Every US citizen killed or wounded in the civil war was shot by a democrat.

I am a un-reconstructed rebel, but hey, this is today, that was then.

Kerry helped drive Adm. Boorda to suicide for wearing a V for valor that Hackworth screamed he did not deserve. (it was later found that Boorda was authorized to wear the two V's)

"If you wind up being less than what you’re pretending to be, there is a major confrontation with value and self-esteem and your sense of how others view you."
Of Boorda and his apparent violation, Kerry said: "When you are the chief of them all, it has to weigh even more heavily."
