In June 2003, the Boston Globe’s Michael Kranish wrote about John Kerry’s (nonexistent) Christmas in Cambodia—including a lovely story about shooting down a civilian: John Kerry: A Candidate in the Making.

Interesting comments from LGF. Was Kerry collecting memories to use against the US government? Didn't he know that the UCMJ permits officers to disobey orders that they consider imoral and unlawful? Why didn't he protest then and there, if he believed he was being ordered to conduct unresonable missions.

[thegreatbeast]

What the fudge? I thought they explained this away, no?

[risk]

more "memoirs" speculation - why was Kerry accumulating all of this informatino without acting on it during his command? If he was incapable of raising was warning about what he believed to be imoral back in his in-country service, how can we trust him to have moral courage in 2004?

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published
Kerry's full military records on their Web site
(with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year),
they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records.
A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information.
A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan,
said he was not authorized to release the full file,
which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

"I spent more time on John Kerry's boat than any other crewmember.

John Kerry hasn't been honest - he has been deceitful.

John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas, in 1968, in Cambodia.

And that is catagorically a lie. Not in December. Not in January.

We were never in Cambodia on a secret mission. Ever."

John Kerry's explanation:
"He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

Jane Fonda tells the student audience at the Michigan State University in 1969;
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope,
you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communist."

[RJL]

at his base, a weary, disconsolate Kerry sat at his typewriter, as he often did, and poured out his grief.

I believe this much of Kerry's story.

[SAMWolf]

Bump.

[highlander_UW]

If Kerry wrote in his Vietnam journal about being in Cambodia when he wasn't there, then how can he now try to pass off his lie as a bad or mixed memory from 30 plus years ago? It wasn't 30 plus years ago when he was there writing out the lie in his journal!

[Dolphy]

Why didn't he protest then and there, if he believed he was being ordered to conduct unresonable missions.

I can think of three explanations. First, it didn't happen. Second, he holds the US Military in contempt. Third he was serving someone other than his country. Maybe together these make a single explanation since I can't quite convince myself that any of them are wrong.

[smoothsailing]

The last I heard Kerry was in orbit around the moon on Christmas Eve 1968 with the Apollo 8 astronauts.

I really need to keep up with breaking news.

That Kerry guy sure gets around, makes you wonder how he ever found time to type.

[nopardons]

Good grief! Just how many different versions of Christmas '68 has Kerry put out there,over the years?

[T'wit]

They got attacked with mortars from a machine-gun nest? So they wipe out one civilian, kill or drive off all the bad guys, get their rudder snarled in a lily pad, and drift 50 miles into Cambodia, ducking friendly fire?

I hate bad fiction. I can't follow the plot.

[Plutarch]

...and two South Vietnamese allies who had alerted Kerry’s crew to the enemy were either wounded or killed.

Serves them right for being drunken Bhuddists celebrating Christmas and shooting at Lt. Kerry.

btt

(I stole my tag...)

[Travis McGee]

Ahh yes....Kerry's wonderful personal typewriter. Very handy for after-action reports, and Purple Heart citations, when you want to do a bit of "creative writing."

I wonder if the FBI is really investigating the typewriter angle like I've heard. My understanding is it's a felony to produce fake citations this way.

[Travis McGee]

According to Kranish, there were five crew members on Kerry's Swiftboat on Christmas in Cambodia.

Where are they? Why haven't they come forward?
