In Part five Danny demonstrates and documents the facts of Kerry's illicit medals. And why Kerry is "UnFit for Command".

KERRY'S SILVER STAR--28 FEB. 1969--Kerry was the Officer in Tactical Command of a 3-boat patrol. On board the boats were Army Advisors and numerous South Vietnamese soldiers. Kerry wrote the Operations Report for the patrol, which was used, with no other documentation, as the basis for his being awarded the Silver Star.

Kerry's citation for the Silver Star states in part; ---"came under intense fire from an entrenched enemy force---Kerry ordered his boat (PCF-94) to attack as all units opened fire and beached directly in front of the enemy ambushers---Kerry ordered his boat and boat PCF-23 further upriver to suppress enemy sniper fire---a B-40 Rocket exploded close aboard Kerry's boat---With utter disregard for his own safety and the enemy "rockets" he "again" ordered a charge on the enemy, beached his boat only 10 foot from the Viet Cong rocket position and personally led a landing party in pursuit of the enemy---The extraordinary daring and personal courage of Kerry in attacking a "numerically superior force in the face of intense fire"---captured "many weapons" in the battle that followed."

Pretty heroic stuff. However, it just didn't happen that way.

... I don't like Kerry and I don't try to hide that fact. My dislike for him is based almost entirely on his phony war record of "stolen valor" and what he did to veterans still fighting in Vietnam when he returned. He labeled all of us as "baby killers, murders, barbarians, etc." Now when he needs us we suddenly become his "band of brothers."

Kerry destroyed the reputations of those he fought beside while at the same time using them in his quest for power. The enemy used his words to torture and even kill our POWs because they would not agree with what he said.

Kerry provided aide to and built up the resolve and morale of our enemy during war, resulting in many more of our troops being killed or injured. I saw a bumper sticker that sums it up perfectly, "KERRY LIED AND GOOD MEN DIED." ...

While I agree 100% with the stasement above, I should have made note that it was a Qoute from Danny's editorial.

While I am in total agreement with the statement in #1, I should have mentioned that it was a qoute from Danny's editorial.
