My uncle, a WW 2 Navy submarine vet, is still around also. He's very passionate in support for the Republican Party. His background is Pittsburgh working class and small businessman, and both he and his wife detest Kerry and the sleazy Democrats.
Well, thats good. Submarines had to be interesting work.
My Uncle was in combat from Oct.1942 (Africa) till May of 1945 (Germany). In that time he got 2 purple hearts, 2 bronze stars, and a silver star and he went AWOL to join his platoon back at the front after being wounded a second time. To quote a line from "Black Hawk Down "Its all about the man next to you". Everything about John Kerry and Vietnam makes me feel ill at ease.
It was good to see a WW2 vet like Bob Dole step in a defend the Swift Boaters and dress down John Kerry like he did a couple of weeks ago. He slammed Kerry on the Lefts 527's were doing all Kerry's dirty work for him.
