I’ll grant you that but it’s to honor vets. Your friend isn’t doing the walk to lend BS credibility to his testimony to the press. This guy’s a dicknose period. IMO
Because the kid in the sub didn’t have political connections.
Don’t you think the presence of Vindman in a bunch makes this coup a junta?

Pure Astro Turf.
Yep!
Wow, he has porked out, look at that suit coat.
John Kerry received several combat medals during his tour, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts.
THREE Purple Hearts.
Just like calling EVERYONE a “hero” diminishes it’s meaning and the REAL heroes.
I don’t know if this guy’s Purple Heart was deserved, but I know that John Kerry’s weren’t.
The medals themselves are proof of nothing. It’s the deeds that matter.
“Norman Schwarzkopf was highly decorated in Vietnam and was awarded three Silver Star Medals, two Purple Hearts, and the Legion of Merit.”
“Schwarzkopf and his group fought continuously for several days. At one point, he braved heavy North Vietnamese fire to recover and treat a handful of wounded South Vietnamese soldiers and escort them to safety”
“On February 14, 1966, Schwarzkopf led an ARVN paratrooper assault on a Viet Cong position, during which he was wounded four times by small arms fire. IHowever, he refused medical evacuation or to relinquish command until the objective had been captured and so he was awarded a second Silver Star and a Purple Heart.”
A REAL HERO and he deserved/earned his.
the Dems never care about the military until they can use them for show.
Time for Vindman to take a polygraph test and answer a lot of questions under oath about where his ideological/political loyalty lies, as well as why he violated the Uniform Code of Military Conduct.
Remember, Benedict Arnold was once a well respected American soldier, before he sold his country out.
None of Kerry’s Purple Hearts were combat-earned wounds - Rice cache blown up by his grenade. He didn’t get out of the area fast enough.
Second, possible richoset metal frag from his M 79 grenade launcher he fired at a VC on shore, which hit his own boat.
Fake water mine explosion on the Bay Hap River. Never happened to his boat, only PC 4(?). He probably hit a sandbar because his Swiftboat props were bent backward, indicating it had run into/over something that forced them backwards (After Action Report on this. Should be in Scott Swett/Tim Ziegler’s book “To Set The Record Straight”, the second book we did on Kerry (the first being “Unfit for Command”.
MM, one of the book’s researchers.
This is not the communist-infiltrated US Army that Senator Joe McCarthy claimed we had but it almost looks like it could have been.
Didn’t John Kerry get a purple heart?
BTW, I’m the old lady in our group sign-on. I never served in the military but I’m damnproud of my relatives who served and are currently serving! I’m suspicious of guys like Vindman, though. I respect the military but not all of the members are good & true.
John Effing Kerry was/is a FRaud!
And article 92 and 88. This little weasel should be sitting in the brig.
I agree. This guy is a hack, who has chosen a side.
Boot his sorry butt out!
