“Swifties" did not break ranks, not even PCF-94 gunner Gardner, his job threatened by Kerry acolytes.”

Steve Gardner sent me a email 'thank-you' for posting that Chicago Sun-Times article on FR. The guy is a class act and a great American.

The Swifties just won the last battle of Vietnam War.

Ping for later reading.

[The Right Stuff]

Way to go, Swifties - heroes to the end.

[dennisw]

I can't get enough of the Swift Vets, the POWs and our other fine veterans who kept John Kerry from being elected President.

[TomGuy]

Kerry had his chance. He might try again in '08, but he won't get to first base. The 56 millions votes he got were more AGAINST Bush than FOR Kerry.

[SMARTY]

Once too often, the last time, Kerry in his stupidity and arrogance, chose to speak for Viet Nam Vets. He had the long and regularly validated expectation that he would NOT be challenged. (Herein lies the supreme and mindless arrogance and stupidity of a man SO utterly removed from the facts and reality of Post Vietnam America that he shamelessly used the very men whose support he claimed without EVER having attempted to cultivate.) It was too much, and it was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. The Vets were not having it and neither were their families or like minded Americans who had s*^% kicked in their faces over Viet Nam from the beginning of our efforts there to the present. WE were not having it EITHER!

Not if Johnny boy decides to run again in '08.

[Ditto]

The Swifties just won the last battle of Vietnam War.

And a glorious victory it was. God bless the Swifties.

The fights not over yet the people need to know the whole truth. and getting Kerry's records is the only way to do it. That is if they haven't already been burned!!!!

He wrote a book, the ironically titled Tour of Duty, a deceitful litany of GI Joes’ barbarity. Old Glory flies upside down on its cover; inside, vets are demeaned, too. (Good luck if you try to buy a copy. Kerry has retrieved nearly the entire press run. Why?)

I hate to nitpick here, but Kerry's VVAW book was called The New Soldier. Tour of Duty was Doug Brinkley's haigiography of Lurch.

Contrast JF'nK jumping out of his swift boat to seek medical treatment for his bruised shoulder, leaving his crew to fend for themselves in the infamous "I pulled Rassmann out of the water after having put him in the water" incident with this story of heroism by a Marine corporal in Iraq:

The second example comes from 3/1. Cpl Mitchell is a squad leader. He was wounded as his squad was clearing a house when some enemy threw pineapple grenades down on top of them. 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.

from E-MAIL FROM DAVE IN FALLUJAH

John F'n Kerry isn't fit to even shine Cpl. Mitchell's boots.

[ORECON]

It won’t be over until we pull that Form 180 from his cold dead hands.

Agreed. The truth should come out - whatever it takes.

Not if Johnny boy decides to run again in '08.

By 2008, Americans will have had their lifetime fill of John Kerry and Hitlery Clinton. Neither of these two will make the ticket.

[kabar]

Beyond the election, Kerry has been exposed as the true fraud he is. Never again will veterans' groups or others view him as a war hero, the image he cultivated throughout his public life. Anyone with self-respect would exit himself from the public scene as soon as possible. Instead, Kerry will hunker down in the Senate and cling to the fact that he once ran for President and received more votes than any candidate in history, save one. I hope someone steps forward in 2006 to run against him in Massachusetts.

A commie traitor is not acceptable in the Senate either.
Keep up the pressure.

[angkor]

Not only that, but in the excellent 18-minute BBC news clip discussed here on FR last Saturday, one of the Marines describes a Fallujah encounter which had just been shown.

He explains how a Hajii had thrown a frag grenade at him from 10 meters away, but he was lucky because he only got a few pieces of shrapnel in his face and leg.

He did not mention filing for a Purple.

The soldier is speaking at approximately minute 12:00.

Hey Johnny7, I ditto that. I wouldn't have sparred with the ghouls on television night after night to sink John F'n Kerry's campaign. God, do you remember Lawrence O'Donnel's meltdown? It makes me proud to be an American to see these Swifties at work. Maybe Kerry will be drummed out of politics for good when the public reconsiders his checkered past.
