Vets refuse to forgive Kerry for antiwar acts
Washington Times ^ | February 20, 2004 | By Charles Hurt

Posted on 09/07/2004 1:24:21 PM PDT by Calpernia

Excerpt:

"If I got three Purple Hearts for three scratches, I'd be embarrassed," said Ted Sampley, who fought in Vietnam and publishes U.S. Veteran Dispatch. He remembers soldiers turning away awards for minor injuries.

Mr. Kerry has said none of his Purple Heart injuries, only one of which removed him from the field for two days, was critical.

After his third Purple Heart, Mr. Kerry requested and was granted permission to return to the United States to work behind a desk in New York. Even while still a Navy man, he began traveling to antiwar rallies with leading war protesters such as Adam Walinsky, a former speechwriter for Robert F. Kennedy.

Mr. Walinsky recalled that Mr. Kerry flew him around the state of New York for several Vietnam Moratorium protests in October 1969.

"He was a guy who had been in the war," he said. "We spent a lot of time talking about the campaign, the presidential campaign and the Vietnam War."

Mr. Kerry has said he did not take part in the protests, but was intrigued by Mr. Walinsky's views about the war. The two men stayed in contact and "became reasonably good friends," Mr. Walinsky said.

Others were shocked by the Naval officer's association with the antiwar movement.

"He gets this cushy job in his hometown, goes around protesting the war, then asks to get out six months early," Mr. Sampley said. "What regulations were busted when Kerry — as a Naval officer and still on the payroll — was flying around protesting the war? And who had to stand in and fight for John Kerry after he left six months early?"

Good management on this thread : )

Kerry gave a hollow comment on the U.S. Losses in Iraq.
Running concurrent with this yesterday was a CNN[Finally....duh!]..finally gave coverage to Irans obvious Evil work in Iraq.
so ya....captured Iranian RPG'S..AK-47's MG's arty..etc.
still in crates...with *Farsi script on them.

Iran has been on a murder spree in Iraq,

John Kerry's answer ...is that the war on Terror could be addressed more sensitively.

God forbid this traitor gets into the Whitehouse....Iran will turn Iraq into some Caliph...Black Flags of the Mahdi ....killing fields.

Well - sorry, what else can I say. I only did that initially who were interested in the same thing. I didn't realize I NEEDED permission who to talk to you!

Not to fret; I won't add you. Wouldn't want you to give something new a try! LOL!!

Tells me a whole lot about YOU though, nopardons. Ya know what, I recall, most folks around here didn't appreciate you so much before. When you high-toughted how well you knew Martha Stewart walking in her circles; eh?

Nopardons, you and me don't walk along the same path.

Please reread what I posted.Sheeeeeeeeeesh!

It really IS bad form here,to just add people to a ping list,without asking them first/having them ask to be put on it.And as I recall,you used to ping to threads that my friends would ping me to first/or that I wasn't interested in.

But your wee tantrum proves what YOU are...so yes,by all means leave me off YOUR ping list and don't you ever again smarmily infer that I don't know what's what because the "eminent" JLO hasn't pinged me to threads.Satisfied with your wee self now,I hope. ;^)

Most people here welcome my knowledge about Martha.The ones who took exception,were her drooling sycophants.And IF you have decided to not like me,because I happen to know things others don't and share that knowledge,then no,dear,WE "don't walk the same path" at all;I am gracious and civil ...unlike you.

Do try to calm down and follow the rather simple posting rules.

And when you finally manage to get yourself under control,maybe you can also stop posting your own delusions.Facts actually DO take precedence over emotion. :-)

cal,

When clinton was dodging the draft, he disappeared in Russia for up to a year.

clinton says "he does not remember the year".

It was my thought, that he went for a week or two, in a normal trip, paid for by Russia.

He then returned to Russia and vanished, I have thought always that he was one of the people who went into the training camps to be trained in being a spy, or terrorist.

I have known of the camps and the fact that Americans went there, since the mid 1970's.

There are many who think that is where our missing POW's went, they were used to train the spies.

There were towns set up that looked like American towns, these were used for training the sleepers that would come to America.

Someone wrote a fiction book called "Charm School", that is about the training camps.

But my info did not come from the book, as when I read it, it made me laugh, that I wasn't smart enough to take the truth and turn it into fiction.

Back in the 1970's and before the Monthly issues of the Reader's Digest Magazine, published the truth from all over the world.

Much of the info on Russia is in those early issues.

The last few years, it is all yuppie crap, to me.

Plus up until 1970, I was around the military, so heard some
stories, that others did not.

This must be what Kerry was allegedly court martialed for, because he was still an officer in the Naval Reserves.
