It would seem that former swift boat captain, John Kerry, isn't so swift after all...
Bwa-ha-ha.
Suddenly, in 2004, the Swift Boat Vets called him on it. The press tried to cover for him again, by calling the Swift Boat charges false, although they could not disprove them. They also attempted to say that Viet Nam didn't matter anymore, so we shouldn't examine Kerry's record, although Kerry never made a speech without mentioning his tour in Viet Nam. Kerry had never dealt with antagonistic coverage before. He was used to telling half-baked lies and having the press lap it up like a dog laps up it's own vomit.
What Kerry's mind-reader apologists are saying he meant, could in some ways be worse than what we all know he meant.
Young, impressionable college students were treated to a unique exhortation to give more effort to their studies. George W. Bush has a HARVARD MBA. And he is being called dumb. If I were one of the students in attendance, I would have to wonder for what reason would I aspire to become more educated, it certainly won't insulate me from such a slander.
What's more, the butt of this alleged joke qualified to fly a very sophisticated piece of aero-nautical machinery, while the jokester in question qualified for what...a glorified BOSTON WHALER.
I believe you are correct in you analysisof his discharge. However I also believe that medical documents could not bakc up his 3 purple hearts. It is another belief of mine that the reason his 3 purple hearts were not subjected to more investigation is that his fellow officers were more than glad to see he got the award as long as he left. Just FTF out of Nam before you get someone killed .
I believe there is no doubt he hates American and the military. He adequately proved that when he joined with Hanoi Jane Fonda to attack and lie about our military way back when.
