"As he was getting triaged, the doctor told him that he had been shot through the arm. Cpl Mitchell told the doctor that he had actually been shot "a couple of days ago" and had given himself self aide on the wound. When the doctor got on him about not coming off the line, he firmly told the doctor that he was a squad leader and did not have time to get treated as his men were still fighting. There are a number of Marines who have been wounded multiple times but refuse to leave their fellow Marines. "

And sKerry thinks he has the moral right to lead these men.

The Marines had written their own message below the enemy's. It is not something that Mom would appreciate but it fit the moment to a T.

Could it be...something very similar to what a certain Vice President said to a certain Liberal Vermont Obstructionist Senator?


Did any similar descriptions of the situation in this report make their way into Kevin Sites' reports?

“Without pausing, he reached down and threw the grenade back through the door while he heaved his buddy to safety.”

“There are a number of Marines who have been wounded multiple times but refuse to leave their fellow Marines.”

“The Marines were sick of watching the "Dog and Pony show" and wanted to get back to work.”

All in a days work ... for a U.S. Marine.

Semper Fi Brothers!

It's a good thing these leathernecks weren't pissed off or things could have gotten a little rough.

This was posted yesterday.

I printed it out to show everyone at work.

When I handed it to them , I quoted Del Sandusky, Kerry's Vietnam boat driver; "John Kerry is a hero....George Bush was just s reserve."

I said Kerry should be made to read this to Del to show what a real hero is made of, and then shove it up his cowardly _ss!

This is a great letter. A former Vietnam pilot sent me this yesterday. Take time to hit the Greenside link and see pics of these guys and their bios, etc.
