Former VVAW leader says Kerry faked wounds for medals, collaborated with enemy

[Ditto]

You usurped the leadership of VVAW under false pretenses and dragged it in the direction of Jane Fonda and collaboration with the enemy.

Jane Fonda helped found the VVAW and was involved in it before Kerry. It was a damn Commie front group from the get-go. Kerry didn't drag it anywhere, although unlike the writer, Kerry knew damn well what the VVAW was all about.

This man's testimony needs to be included with the SwiftVets and POWs.

West Point Graduate Condemns Kerry's Valor Awards and Purple Hearts as Phony

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In an open letter to Senator John Kerry, a former regional coordinator for Viet Nam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) has accused the senator of betraying antiwar veterans and dragging VVAW to the radical left and collaboration with the enemy. Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr., an airborne ranger infantry veteran of Viet Nam and antiwar veteran himself also wrote in his letter that Kerry usurped the leadership of VVAW with his "phony medals for valor and [his] three phony Purple Hearts."

Johnson, a registered democrat, writes in his letter that most antiwar veterans told the truth about what they saw and did in Viet Nam and asserts that they were demanding from their leaders acknowledgement and change. It was Kerry, Johnson writes, who took over leadership of VVAW under false pretenses and dragged it in the direction of Jane Fonda and collaboration with the enemy.

He subsequently got Clinton to sign the fix in 2001.

Wow; even the people in his anti-war group don't trust or respect him and think he is a traitor.

For the record, I've read Mr. Libscomb's article, in which he states:

And it couldn't have been an honorable discharge, or there would have been no point in any review at all.

He is not correct in his estimate.

Both voluntary and in-voluntary separation that results in an Honorable Discharge, are S.O.P.

Usually in the case of in-voluntary, there is a review performed by some Navy review board. Such instances occur typically when there is a purposeful reduction in force by the Dept. of Defense and/or the Dept. of the Navy.

That given, the matter of there being quite a lot of evidence to support some kind of official and/or un-official and/or politically-influenced (either way) investigation of Lt. Kerry's activities and relationships with the avowed enemies of the Unites States, probably existed.

YES!

May have been one of the last minute things he signed off on. (Bush was sworn in at the end of January)

If, God forbid, you are elected president, in what awful direction will you and your foreign-born-and-raised wife drag our country?

*Shudder*

Actually the to-on was in office for about 3 weeks.

Where are the MSM's exhortations for some Modern Day Ellsberg now ?

[tillacum]

Has this letter appeared in any news paper? It should, but none of our red rags will dare print it.

Thanks. I've seen the 2001 on a number occasions and always wondered about this...thanks for the clarification. Just another of clintoon's midnight pardons (so to speak).

"Narcissists such as you cannot be trusted; and they can be very dangerous, especially when they become paranoid about protecting their image, especially when they occupy positions of great authority and consequence. The issues in this election are truthfulness and character, and you lack both. "

Wow!

My senior year roommate at West Point became a tunnel rat.

Don't think this passes the smell test.

My kids ask me why I'm so bitterly against Kerry. They ask me why I am contrary when any thing about France is discussed.

This article brings it together for me. My father was killed by a land mine in France in September 1944. This was after D day and the march to Germany through France was taking place. I was only 2 years old, so there is no memory, just stories. I read the letter sent to my mom occasionally which came with the posthumously awarded Purple Heart. My father earned his Purple Heart, and died in a country who could care less about his sacrifice.
