Is this where Kerry was on December 25, 1998???

[Howlin]

I was talking about Corsi.

"Liberals had no problem making fun of Doles disability when he was running, now that some punk liberal is running, those 4 freaking months are of the utmost importance!"

RIGHT ON! I remember that crap. Dole is a damn combat-wounded(permanently!) veteran. Where the hell is Hanoi John's limp? Where's his dead arm!?

What award did Carlos Hathcock recieve when he rescued a fellow soldier from a fire? He was disabled for the rest of his life because of that. The White Feather, feared for his rifle skills, sacrificed them to save someone's life! He couldn't even hold up a rifle in his later years! Kerry seemed able to whip that shotgun around at the phony-baloney "duck hunt, I support the 2nd amendment only if you're a nonoffensive hunter" photo-op!

Anyone remember episode 3 (I think) of Band of Brothers where Popeye (shot in the rear end) asked that unscupulous guy how many Purple Hearts he had? He said three, all for minor technical wounds. Popeye pointed over to Blythe, hit in the neck, and dead years later and said "yeah, and he only gets one." This is the same damn thing. Some shifty bastard stealing glory for himself while real soldiers suffer quietly and stoically. I am just seething about this Francophilic commie bastard. If there's any justice in this world, Kerry had better be exposed.

yes with visions of sugar plums dancing in his empty head...

Holy Cow!

Guess we know who the "Baby Killer" is after all.

We do indeed.

None of the guys in dh's squadron like Kerry. They all support the current Commander in Chief 100%. Most feel that Kerry seems to disdain the military more than the Clintons. We can't think of anyone that we know in the Corps and the Navy who feel anything other than the opinion that John Kerry will sign our forces over to the U.N. if he were to win/steal the election.

I love maps, and yours is a handsome one. I wonder where on the map Kerry was. I want to know what the meaning of "near" is. Is it that town in white borders, Sa Dec? That is about as near the coast as Cambodia.

[Howlin]

My gawd.

[rolling_stone]

you think maybe Kerry's crew will have cameo appearances in the film?

[woodyinscc]

I remember when the allegations were abounding about the first President Bush. When he was running for President the dims tried to say that he participated in a scheme to free the hostages when Reagan and him were running the first time. Ten years previous. Speaker Foley, without one grain of evidence, said on the floor of the House, "these allegations are so serious that we must have an investigation. GHWB had to march over to the House, testify, and put the issue to rest. The media was running point. The double standard is obvious, and now they even admit it.

[Howlin]

Sa Dec is what John O'Neill said; and it's what the Gardner guy who was with him that night said, too.

And I knew I liked you for some reason: I am a map freak.

Here's the interview. I had to crunch it down for file size which reduced the video quality, however, you can still hear all the audio. It's over 17 minutes long and it is a 6.9 MB .wmv video file, (best viewed in it's smallest format). Feel free to download it and link to it. I have plenty of bandwidth left this month. If you need a particular sound bite in high quality, I will see how quick I can accommodate you. Just make a note of the time of the vid so I can find it quick. It will also be on my homepage.

Poor Kerry. It seems like about his whole life has been one big lie - to himself, to his comrades, to the public. The man has close to a sociopathic drive for power. That's my psychobabble armchair analysis.

[holyscroller]

Everybody should read the link in post 260. It's full of good ammunition and information. Here's a choice tidbit:

Still, Camil recalled that Kerry's patrician image was derided by others in the group, which was mostly composed of working-class veterans. Camil said Kerry showed up in ironed clothes, while most of the others were rumpled. Camil said a member had tried to reach Kerry by telephone and was told by someone, presumably a maid, that "Master Kerry is not at home." At the next meeting, someone hung a sign on Kerry's chair that said: "Free the Kerry Maid."

went looking, found nothing...

('Can either one of you -- or anybody -- look at that website and find maps of where Kerry would have been on December 25, 1968?' )

Christmas in Sa Dec

Reader Daniel Aronstein has sent us the link to this passage from John Kerry's Vietnam journal published in the Boston Globe. Aronstein notes: "Christmas (the only one he spent in Vietnam) was spent in Sa Dec -- according to Kerry's diary (see last line)." The last two paragraphs of the excerpt from Kerry's typewritten journal read as follows:

You head back towards Sa Dec to make your report while transiting the night darkness is broken by tracers flying up out of a Vietnamese outpost that is celebrating Christmas. The bullets pass dangerously near your boat and you think of the stupidity of the whole thing and the ridiculous waste of being shot at by your own allies and so angry you jump on the radio and ask who the hell is shooting at you and inform your seniors that they had better squared away before you return fire. Apologies are quick to (unable to read) but they mean nothing amidst all the chaos and waste.

It's cool now and the evening has closed around you to become full night. The night for once is comforting and you take a coke and some peanut butter and jelly and go up on the roof of the cabin whit your tape recorder and sit for a while, quietly, watching flares float silently through the sky and flashes announce disquieting intent somewhere in the distance. You call down to one of your men and ask him to draft a message to the Admiral in Command of all Naval Forces in Vietnam and also to the Commander of Market Time. IT says "Merry Christmas from the most inland Market Time unit." You hope that they'll court marshal you or something because that would make sense. But the night soothes everything and the people and things that are close to you dart through the mind and bring the only warmth and peace that there is. Visions of sugar plums really do dance through your head and you think of stockings and snow and roast chestnuts and fires with birch logs and all that is good and warm and real. It's Christmas Eve.

Our Northern Alliance colleague Edward Morrissey has more over at Captain's Quarters in "Christmas in Cambodia, Part II: Not without my shipmates," in "Christmas in Cambodia, Part III: Time flies," and in "Christmas in Camgodia, Part IV: Patrol or tourist?"

LOL. What do you think my favorite country was to trace out on tracing paper as a kid? I just LOVED the place for that.
