BUSH: "The Missing Year" written by senior editor of GQ magazine Jason Gay.

This article appears in the August 2004 edition of GQ magazine, will put the end to the myth of Bush's National Guard Tour of Duty. After reading this article you will decide who the real hero is. Jason Gay did an eight month thorough background research to substantiate the material before publishing this article. Every one knows that GQ is so far to the left that it makes the leaning tower of Pisa appear straight.

Still, bad threads do not a troll make.

Good point. I just wish he'd answer, silence perks our antennae.

Your right about that.

He eluded to a satirical piece (maybe he did not know) without even a link. And then goes AWOL himself.

He may not be a troll, but he sure did the equivilent of standing in an open field during a thunderstorm. If it was meant to be funny, he needed to indicate such.

He may just be a newbie, so I will not yet plot a solution for the Zot, though the tubes are open.

That article is one of the worst-written, most juvenile piece of crap satires I've ever seen. It's horrible. I couldn't even make it past the second screen (of 10) before bailing out in disgust.

I hear meowing on the wind...

Did you see this from Drudge? CONTROVERSY SURROUNDS KERRY CONVENTION FILM: WAR SCENES REENACTED

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED JULY 28, 2004 12:56:02 ET XXXXX

CONTROVERSY SURROUNDS KERRY CONVENTION FILM: WAR SCENES REENACTED

**World Exclusive**

A bombshell new book written by the man who took over John Kerry's Swift Boat charges: Kerry reenacted combat scenes for film while in Vietnam!

The footage is at the center of a growing controversy in Boston.

The official convention video introducing Kerry is directed by Steven Spielberg protégé James Moll. MORE

Moll was given hours of Kerry's homemade 8 millimeter film to incorporate into the convention short, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"Kerry carried a home movie camera to record his exploits for later viewing," charges a naval officer in the upcoming book UNFIT FOR COMMAND.

"Kerry would revisit ambush locations for reenacting combat scenes where he would portray the hero, catching it all on film. Kerry would take movies of himself walking around in combat gear, sometimes dressed as an infantryman walking resolutely through the terrain. He even filmed mock interviews of himself narrating his exploits. A joke circulated among Swiftees was that Kerry left Vietnam early not because he received three Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to take home for his planned political campaigns."

UNFIT FOR COMMAND, Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, will be unleashed next month by REGNERY. [It ranked #1,318 on the AMAZON hitparade Wednesday morning.]

The films shot by Kerry's own Super 8 millimeter hand-held movie camera have the grainy quality of home movies.

MORE

The BOSTON GLOBE reported in 1996 that the Kerry home movies "reveal something indelible about the man who shot them - the tall, thin, handsome Naval officer seen striding through the reeds in flak jacket and helmet, holding aloft the captured B-40 rocket. The young man so unconscious of risk in the heat of battle, yet so focused on his future ambitions that he would reenact the moment for film. It is as if he had cast himself in the sequel to the experience of his hero, John F. Kennedy, on the PT-109."

"John was thinking Camelot when he shot that film, absolutely," says Thomas Vallely, a fellow veteran and one of Kerry's closest political advisers and friends.

NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson in his new book RECKLESS DISREGARD, details one of the claimed Kerry reenactments for film:

"On February 28, 1969, now in charge of PCF 94, Kerry came under fire from an enemy location on the shore. The crew's gunner returned fire, hitting and wounding the lone gunman. Kerry directed the boat to charge the enemy position. Beaching his boat, Kerry jumped off, chased the wounded insurgent behind a thatched hutch, and killed him. Kerry and his crew returned within days, armed with a Super 8 video camera he had purchased at the post exchange at Cam Ranh Bay, and reenacted the skirmish on film."

Developing...


Now my question is what real war hero would reenact a war scene for himself? None unless he had political ambitions like Kerry does

Isn't that Kerry/Nam pic the same pose as the famous Bigfoot photo?

Good grief; it's worse than we thought.

I cannot understand why anybody would fall for this!

These same bastards who attack Bush's National Guard service (and slap every Guardsman and Reservist in the face, in the process) had absolutely no problem with the fact that William Jefferson Clinton total evaded the draft and protested against the Vietnam War in Moscow's Red Square. And they no doubt supported Clinton when he ran against true war heroes/World War II veterans in 1992 and 1996. And now, at their convenience, they want to bring up one's military record.

IIRC Bush volunteered for Vietnam but the war was winding down and there was no demand for pilots, so he had to stay in the Air National Guard.

Here's the actual link .

The article looks pretty gay to me. It appears to be some sort of lame attempt at humor.

Liberals are just mad cause Bush was smart enough to stay out of their war. Demonrats have gotten us into more useless wars than Republicans evah dreamed of.

So it would of been better just to stay out of Vietnam in the first place?

Where was kerry for his full tour and where are his med records?
And why does this man who cant even throw a baseball in front of the entire nation proclaim him self as a war hero. The last guy I met that served in VN did is tour and went pack voluntarily for two more as a tunnel rat. Guess what????? he has never proclaimed him self as a war hero like chickensh!t kerry.

I don't understand what is so wrong and shameful with the Texas Air National Guard? That is an elite outfit and very professional. There is nothing wrong with serving your country in the National Guard.
