....LOL....ok, whatever....the article was from the Atlanta Journal Constitution but most are in quotes from the citation....and again, we don’t need to continue but I hate the cover up part....you talk about “hero building”.... and embellishing....well didn't’ Sen. Kerry do the same thing with his 3 purple hearts and his B.S. and we crucified him. I guess my friend that sometimes I see hypocritical behavior (not you) that is righteous when one side does it and blasphemy when the other side does it.....I don’t like it when EITHER side does it.....Thanks for the chat..have a great day

See what you mean, but the “embellishing and hero building” in Kerry’s case were done by Kerry as he was rushing to get out of harm’s way. Doesn’t seem to compare to a commanding officer taking part in “embellishing and hero building” for a real hero like Pat Tillman who enlisted in the service without being drafted, and was leading men in battle. In the latter it could be seen as trying to comfort a family and let them know that their son was truly a hero (the fact that friendly fire killed him does not diminish his heroics). The former was done to create credentials for a planned political career.

Guess I still have trouble seeing the sinister reason behind the cover up. So, guess we’ll agree to disagree. But, I have nothing but respect for a fellow Californian trying to maintain sanity while being a Republican in our great state! ;>)
