"So we should just the the media a free pass.

And keep our mouth shut."

NO!. 

We are in a war with these subversives, and by now people should know what happens when you do not finish a war. Think about what they will have us do AGAIN! We put up with these people at our peril, and we jeopardize our descendants as well.

Hi TGYC...

I have followed your posts for awhile now and I believe I understand how you feel. What this traitor has done has been so, so wrong, so evil. Wrongs need to be made right.

I have come to despise the MSM because of their dirty, treacherous tactics. I sincerely hope that even when Kerry loses, pressure will be kept up for the media to expose him. Perhaps when this is all over, they will feel that they will be able to tell the truth about him, and then most of America can breathe a sigh of relief.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Damn, one would think with all of Kerry's heroic acts and his chest full of medals, he would have given himself a promotion. Alas..ever to be just Lieutenant, jg.

I don't think this story should die with the election. Vets have been silenced too long. Kerry did damage to an entire generation of good soldiers. Its time this all came out so that it can never happen again.

Maybe this will help you understand why I feel like I do

I spent 3yrs on a destroyer in the Navy from
'66-'69 as a Gunners Mate, GMG3.
USS CORRY DD 817 '68-'69 Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club Member.
http://www.uss-corry.com/
Home port was Norfolk Virginia
and sailed with her in the North Atlantic,
Caribbean,(dealt with Cuban gunboats off of Havana in Jan '68)
thru the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Viet Nam and back.

I was there the same time Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which supplied PCF's and PBR's
and provided gunfire and gunfire support
in North AND South Viet Nam.

My ship may have even supplied
Kerry's boat in the Mekong Delta

Although there are many similarities between naval gunfire support
and Operation Sea Dragon (which ended Nov '68), they differ in two important areas:
naval gunfire support is normally fired at the request of troops ashore,
while Sea Dragon's mission is the interdiction of supplies and destruction
of military targets; and naval gunfire support is always conducted in South Vietnam,
while Sea Dragon missions are fired only above the demilitarized zone.

29 US Navy ships received gunfire from Viet Cong shore batteries.
My ship DID NOT get hit by the VC.

In Feb '69 my ship was part of Operation Bold Mariner
which was the largest amphibious assault since Korea.

I want to put my foot up the rearends of all the useful idiots who help him by their mindless backing of Kerry.

Amen to that.  Kerry isn't really the enemy.  It's the person next to you at the traffic light, your next door neighbor, your local school teachers, your video rental clerk, your doctor, you get the idea.  Without the empowerment provided by these collective numbskulls Kerry would be what he really is, a big nothing.

"Step away from the vanity, TGYC....you know better...."

"Worthless vanity alert."

Tonk has busted his butt in providing information and support in this campaign and the ongoing war on terror. If he wants to post a “somewhat” vanity post, that’s fine with me.

Thank you for your application for the position of “vanity police”.

We will notify you if we feel that your qualifications meet our objectives.

If the truth really got out, it would be that the Navy cut those gold stripes from his sleeves at one time.

I'm a Catholic Boazo, and Kerry certainly isn't like the kind of Catholic people I know!

We are proud of you Tonkin, and all others here like you, who served honorably. People like Kerry will have a higher power to answer to.

You can put up a vanity anytime you want Tonk. You have earned it.
