UPDATE: Reader David Ward writes:

Thank you for your great work and especially the coverage of the picture of the soldiers mocking "Jon Carry."

My daughter is on the far right in the picture. We spoke to her last night and again this morning. They are quite astounded at the coverage. They were furious at Kerry's remarks and wanted to do something. I guess they did.

Yours truly,

David Ward

"Of course, some of the DUmmies are also claiming that the photo is a fake."

The ONLY PHONY is John Kerry!!!

It seems like an interesting path from flying Phantoms to being in Africa on a mission. It is quite impressive in my opinion.

In effect, it was an "entrance exam." I can't remember what it was called, but this is what I remember of it.

IF a male recruit scored lower than 27 (?), he was not allowed to join; and if a female recruit scored lower than 50, she was not allowed to join.

I know that these tests were broken up and scored in another way to determine what MOS a recruit would be allowed to enter.

:-)

I had no problem with this: A woman was not allowed to be an 11B (grunt), so her entry would necessitate an MOS which might require a higher score.

I'm sure that this has all changed. :-) This was in the early '70's.

Yes....he's had an interesting life.  I respect him a lot...and he's my adopted father, having met my mother after I was born so it's not a respect based on genes. He actually earned it.

He has only a couple character flaws that I can think of.  As opposed to me:  I'm rife with them.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Aha!!!

So YOU'RE the one that writes JFK's 'apologies' for him!!!!

Your dad sounds even cooler to me. And counting flaws can be interesting. I'm still working on mine. That's how you know that you are still growing.

I pray this expose' of Kerry's heart turns into an enormous boost for our military in the eyes of Joe and Jane America.

His sins were bound to find him out, sooner or later.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19

I heard some RAT on some MSM show say the photo "appeared" to be of soldiers, possibly in Iraq.

Rove, you Magnificant BASTARD!

Rove maintains a stable of models who can be made to look like soldiers and a top-secret, quarantined area where there are sets made to look like Iraq.
