I'd love to find out who is behind this and just now pushing it into play. One must know that if it is as clear cut as the writer is making it out to be, the JAG units at that time would have definately hung these guys.
I think the thing that is going to nail Kerry is whatever they find with the
investigation into the tinkering with his SS citation and his DD Form 214.
Lehman would have remembered signing an amendment to a SS citation
for a sitting US Senator.
I know what you're saying -- I agree that the (alleged) facts in this case don't fit the point Kerry was making in his testimony. Still, Kerry and his supporters have a black belt in moral relativism. They'll have no problem taking the facts and twisting them into some justification of Kerry's actions.
Words and facts don't mean anything to these people -- words and facts only exist so they can be used as a way to get and keep power.
The Rock Pile and Khe Sanh were, of course, very close to the DMZ in the northern part of I Corp. Maybe they were technically in the Highlands, but I've generally thought of the Highlands as centered on Pleiku and bounded by Dak To/Kontum in the North, An Khe in the East and Ban Me Thuot in the South. IOW, that part of II Corps. I need to get into maps to see where this Tiger Force was allegedly operating.
You could have been listening to my brother and I on the phone. We were trying to figure how this would play too.
FR's power, talk radio.....hugh difference-makers!
Jimmy Carter gave a blanket pardon to all who served in Vietnam and may have committed UCMJ crimes. The suit goes nowhere.
Pre-campaign he seemed like quite a decent guy, kind of the old style traditional Democrat. But he quickly lined up his positions on the issues with the DNC's to be on alGore's ticket, so his principles must not be real critical to him.
i live in perrysburg...this is one of the reasons we moved across the river....COMMIES in toledo....the blade charges a fortune for that lousy little piece o crap.we have the sentinel tribune from bg over here. it's small, but not as left wing.
Can you, or anyone else, post documentation of that? Thank you.
Does this apply to the Carter declaration????
Kerry's problem is that he claimed that war crimes were systematic, part and parcel of what soldiers did every day in Vietnam, and under government orders to do it.
No surprise that the Toledo Blade was given a Pulitzer last year for this. There are powerful interests working overtime to get this treasonous lout elected.
I call him Mitch "The Leftist B*tch" Albom.
Read your news on the internet. Its good for your blood pressure.
This could go both ways. SKerry admitted that he commited atrocities.
"The Toledo Blade is as "left' as it can get. I live here and it's disgusting to read. I only take it because it's the only paper in town."
Well, you have the Internet. Stop taking it and supporting it. Being the "only paper in town" is pretty weak excuse.
The Rock Pile was west of Dong Ha and Cam Lo, both Marine bases. Cam Lo was just a Fire Base. Khe Sahn was yet further west and a little to the south. All being in I Corps Area.
