Kerry's C.O. Says First P.H. Was Not Authorized by Him

John Kerry's commanding officer was just interviewed on Fox News. According to Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard when Kerry showed up in front of him requesting a Purple Heart, Hibbard saw that he had a "scratch"(Hibbard's word) on his forearm. And because, according to Hibbard, there was no report of enemy action on Kerry's patrol that day and the "scratch" did not receive medical attention from a medical officer, Hibbard declined Kerry's request for a Purple Heart.

Kerry's fellow soldiers said at the time that they didn't think they had received any enemy fire.

Maybe it was friendly fire.....how well liked was Kerry at that time?.....He may have needed to get out of town fast.

Here it is Prince John.

How many troops carried a home movie camera of that size around a war zone? No one can tell me that wasn't also politically motivated.

The fact is Kerry used the wounded, the dead and the still serving troops as stepping stones for his political ambitions and he wants to use the War on Terror in the same way, hence the Vietnam references. He is despicable.

Sounds like Kerry went C.O. shopping for his PH

[Darksheare]

Despicable isn't the word I'd use.
The words I'd use cannot be posted as it'd be pulled instantly.
Besides, I don't think there's a word low enough for him and his behavior in any language known to man.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Despicable is the nicest word I can use or else I'd be banned and my kids would have to wash out Mommy's mouth!

[spoiler2]

"Kerry disrespected the chain of command by not following proper procedure."

This spoiled brat of a man has been disrespecting the chain of command for years.

Who knows how much pain and suffering he has caused his fellow vets over the last 30 years, since he publicly called them 'war criminals'?

He should apologize publicly, though we all know he doesn't have enough character to do that!

I think we all now know what Kerry was all about...get 3 PH's and get out of Nam. ASAP!

And after seeing some of the troops who have been "seriously" wounded in Iraq "requesting" to be sent back to their units, now they are the REAL HEROES!

The more I learn about Kerry, the more I don't like him.

I used to think he was a patriot with a misguided political affiliation. Now I'm no so sure anymore.

[hobson]

Donald A. Still, Chief Staff Officer, signed all the PH confirmations.

Reference: Kerry's Medal and Wound Records

I have not been able to find any additional information on this guy.

[Darksheare]

Roger that!
That's why I kept the description of what I'd say purposefully vague.
I don't wanna get banned on Kerry's account for saying something about him.
He isn't worth it.

[DuncanWaring]

... then he does not have the three that allowed him to get the early out, ergo - he is a hypocrit AND a coward.

And AWOL!

KERRY WAS AWOL!

KERRY WAS AWOL!

KERRY WAS AWOL!

KERRY WAS AWOL!

If it helps at all, I understood your post source. ;)

VERY GOOD QUESTION!!! How the frik'n he|| did he get video footage of his short term vietnam stay?

[dep]

a reposting today of a fox regurgitation on april 16 of a story that appeared in the boston globe that week scarcely qualifies as breaking news. i'm not sure it was posted here as breaking news before it had grown whiskers.

PURPLE HOAX!

Perfect! "Stolen Valor!"

Don't know.
Some clever hackers may be able to do such, but that's illegal and immoral.
Not that such has stopped the Dims from doing such things before.
It would be funny though.
Does his website leech any images off of a website we can swap graphics on, like Kucinich's site did?
Turn that into a jpg and do an image swap would be nice..
