Reckless Disregard
excerpt from 'Reckless Disregard' by Patterson ^ | 09-13-04 | Pajama Blogger Reader

Posted on 09/13/2004 8:06:48 PM PDT by Pajama Blogger Reader

My dad was reading Patterson's book, 'Reckless Disregard' and read to me the section about how Kerry, using his own video camera, went back to the scene of his 'battles' in Vietnam a few days after they occurred and had himself filmed recreating incidents, running through the jungle in bandoliers.

Unfathomable, what sort of person would think to do something like that... no honorable soldier, for certain. It only makes sense when one considers that he knew... before even setting foot in Vietnam...what his motivation for being there was: politics.

And that makes me shudder with digust.

That was an excellent book, I suggest you read it too. It only takes about two days to read. The book made me shudder to think that the democratic party may take over the military.

Which Hollywood airhead looked up at the military jets flying overhead during Resident Clinton's 1st innaugural, and proclaimed, "Those are our jets now."

I just read 'Unfit for Command', my dad and I are going to swap books.

The business about Kerry going to Paris in 1970... while still technically in the Naval Reserve....and 'negotiating' ... excuse me 'fact finding' with two representatives of the Viet Cong...18 U.S.C. section 953 and Article III, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution apparently don't apply to him, since he knew he would be President someday...that alone is reason to question why this man should even be permitted to run for President...

It does appear that Kerry:

1. Has a monumental ego.

2. Has a personality disorder. Why?
a. Absolutely no connectedness to people
b. Episodes of wanton killing and destruction while he
was in Vietnam.
c. Extreme self-aggrandizement and outright lying
about his experiences in Vietnam.

Please tell Dan Rather about this so he can report about it on tomorrow evening's NEWS.

Thank you.

Gore went to Vietnam for political gain also - and probably so several republicans, but I have NEVER heard them brag about it like kerry!

I give kerry credit for the "courage of his convictions" but detest and revile the socialist leftist convictions that sent him to Vietnam in the first place.

As I have mentioned before - I respected the North Vietnamese Armey Regulars, but I killed them nonetheless. Being courageous did not make them friends of America. Just as Kerry is no friend of America - NOT my America.

Yep, Reckless Disregard for the safety & well-being of the men under his command. He put them in harms way over and over again just to get a few feet of film.

DVDs or VHS?

Dans experts could say they existed early in our history and provide documents and memos showing cargo logs from the Mayflower.
