Thank him for his service for us. Thanks for the ping.

Interesting comments. Seems not all Vets like Kerry. It does PO me the way he plays up his "service" but doesn't
mention his testimony before Congress or involvemnet with the protest movement.

[Professional Engineer]

I certainly will. I left some trail blazes to lead him here if he gets the chance as well.

Thanks PE.

"A Navy guy that served in the same outfit as Kerry told me that he would vote for Saddam before he would vote for Kerry."


I went there I found this.

Keep reading the post, it has one guy that knew one of Kerry's crew members and it fits what I am thinking. I was thinking what I was thinking before I found that particular information. It is down toward the end of the post. Mine should be last.

[SAMWolf]

I liked the one saying he'd rather have Clintom back than see Kerry in Office.

[U S Army EOD]

But the one that says "We have this prima donna LTJG who is over here set up by Kennedy to get medals" is the most interesting.

"I was in the 533 pbr Gamewardens of vietnam. I was a gun tub gunner on a 31 ft. patrol boat. Kerry was on a swift boat a 1/2 mile down river from us.I knew Tom his stearn gunner. He told me his j.g was a premadona sent there to get medales. He thought kenndy's riged the whole thing. Our job was to drop off navy seals and to exsrtact then before thay were killed. I only got one purple hart and the other hundred scars we got nothing. no one got three purple harts in three months. No one got the silver star for killing vietcong that attacted your boat. I was on that dam river as a river rat for 18 months. and killed over 60 in two different fire fights.This whole kerry hero crap is just that crap. The man doesn't even have a scar.He got three nicks and thay gave three purple harts so he could sent home and become a Admrials aid So there you got someone that was there."


This one? Makes my skin crawl. I read you post too. Yours is right all the way.

[SAMWolf]

Oh Yeah. I can understand it too. He sure was able toi use the "3 purple hearts" rule to advantage. Especially when you consider the "wounds" he recieved. I probaly cut myself on a C-rat can worse than that.

Sam read 189

Pretty much fits what we were thinking doesn't it. I wonder how we could contact this guy and extend a FReeper hand to him even though he can't write to well.

[SAMWolf]

I did. I had a friend who was in PBR's, so I've heard some of the stories about what it was like in the Delta rivers.

[U S Army EOD]

Well I kind of wonder if he didn't cut himself on a C-ration can when no one was looking and the fire was outbound. I would still like to hear a witness that actually saw him get hit.

[Professional Engineer]

Thanks for the post. This is very interesting background.

[bulldogs]

He will check that board again

[U S Army EOD]

Nite folks.

We have this prima donna LTJG who is over here set up by Kennedy to get medals.

Figure Kennedy fixed the paperwork all along. What a creep.

[snippy_about_it]

Good night. Thanks for the great discussions and sharing today.

Your welcome PE.
