The recently published book on Kerry- " John F Kerry, The Complete Biography By The Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best,"
is another treasure trove of goodies.
Naturally ignored by the media.
And not mentioned in the " Saving Private Hamster " video shown at the DNC.
Oh, the heroics.
Page 96:
" Medeiros and Kerry rushed ashore and found what they thought was a Vietcong guerilla inside a bunker.
"Kerry called down into the darkness..a grenade was thrown inside."
" The two assumed an enemy had been killed, although Medeiros said he never saw the victim and
now wonders
whether it could have been an animal."
Page 105 :
" At one point, Kerry and Rasmussen threw grenades into a huge rice cache that had been captured from the Vietcong.."
"After tossing the grenades, the two dove for cover."
"Rasmussen escaped the ensuing explosion of rice, but ,Kerry was not so lucky-
thousands of grains stuck to him."
Page 85 :
Kerry writes in his diary, called " War Notes."
" A woman holds her baby tight against her bare breast and nipple firm,
gives life;
my voice asks where she is going and unabashed
she bares her breast
to replace the youngster's fumbling, tiny lips.."
Where did you get that book?
I will have to try to get this. I doubt I can get it via interlibrary loan though since it is so new.
