Thanks for the ping!
Great article.
A seaman I know served with Kerry on his swift boat in Viet Nam. He was wounded and medically discharged in this service. Spoke with him recently regarding his personal experiences with the candidate.
Mr. Lee has chosen not to participate with Swift Boat as he still works and has now lives a quiet peaceful life on his north Georgia horse farm. He affirms the swift boaters have it right. "JFK" in his opinion was a glory hound and a lying S.O.B. who falsified after action reports. Details available on request.
I know in my heart the Swift Boat Veterans will have their vindication come November 2nd. Knowing they were a major factor in totally wrecking Kerry's chances for the White House has got to make them feel good. I will be incredibly happy for those heroes when that day comes.
Anyone know in which states the Swifties are advertising? Please tell me they include WI, OH, NM and FL!!
Liberals don't read the Washington Times, so I hope the Swiftees get their ads as ASAP!
Swift Vets and POWs for Truth Donation Site
As long as these courageous men keep fighting for our country, I'll continue to donate.
Godspeed, Swift Vets and POWs for Truth.
Swift Vet Ping...
All I can say is...WOW.
May God bless these good men, and may what they are doing now bury forever the deamons that have tormented them for years.
Thanks for the post. I just donated to the Swifties once again.
BTTT! Great article.
Go Swiftees!
I need help. My flaming lib SIL says that the proof that Bush was not in AL when he should have been is because Gary Trudeau offered 10,000 to anyone who could prove he was but there has been no takers.
Help!
Does anyone have a reference to this?
"He then spent the next six years as a prison cellmate of John McCain, who would become a Republican senator, at the prison the Americans called, with bitter irony, the "Hanoi Hilton." Maj. Day's presence in the room is palpable. Even in a group of decorated war veterans, he stands out as a living legend.
"The others sheepishly introduce themselves and are honored just to shake his still-firm hand.
"Kerry betrayed us by telling the people we were committing atrocities," Maj. Day says. "A man who does that is not fit to lead. It's impossible to let this man masquerade as a war hero and someone who has leadership. To imagine this guy who betrayed us becoming president and him being the leader of our armed forces is just unthinkable."
John McCain was suspiciously unavailable for comment...
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.... we kid each other alot about our service affiliations in jest but when the chips are down, there is NO finer fighting force in the world!
Col Bud Adams, a salute sir, for your service, patriotism, and your unwavering belief in your fellow airmen and the United States of America. When true military heroes names are mentioned, yours will forever be in that list.
Ya know, if that 'checkmate'(photo) exisits, I'd be suprised. I'm skeptical
Drudge just posted the link to this Washington Times article on his website.
He also posted the NY Slimes link about Sinclair airing the "Stolen Honor" documentary on its stations nationwide just prior to the election.
Since Drudge has a much bigger megaphone than we do, hopefully the SwiftVets and the POW's will get more coverage (especially their message) as we head for the home stretch of this election.
John Kerry's Discharge - He won't sign Form 180 - What is he hiding?
http://acuf.org/issues/issue21/040929pol.asp
What a young man did more than 30 years ago should not be a primary criteria in determining his qualifications to be President of the United States. George Bush has had almost 4 years now as Commander and Chief of the World"s largest military force and he should be judged on how well he has done. Yet John Kerry and the Democratic left won"t give it up. On almost a daily basis he says I served this country honorably as a young man in Vietnam (4 months/12 days) and I will serve this country honorably as Commander and Chief. Then the Left yells that George Bush got preferential treatment in getting into the National Guard and even failed to complete his guard obligations; even forging documents to prove their point.
The facts are that George Bush served honorably in the National Guard obtaining service points far in excess of the 50 annual service points required to meet his obligation. Records show that in 1968/69 he accumulated 253 points, 340 in 1969/70, 137 in 1970/71, 112 in 1971/72, 56 in 1972/73 and 56 in 1973/74. Points far in excess of the service agreed to and that required to meets his obligation and be Honorably Discharged. George Bush has never made his National Guard service a qualification to lead this country, nor has he ever questioned the service of John Kerry.
While the Left and the mainstream media have never questioned the Vietnam era service of John Kerry, they seem to feel that the record of George Bush 30 years ago should be of concern to voters in November. But what about John Kerry's record? We are told that he was a decorated veteran. We are also told that he was deeply involved in anti-war activities on his return from Vietnam in violation of his oath as an officer in the US Navy. By his own account of his actions and protests, he violated the UCMJ, the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Further he met, on two occasions, with North Vietnamese negotiators in 1970 and 1971, while a Reserve Officer, willingly placing himself in violation of Article three, Section three of the U.S. Constitution, which defines treason as "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare.
From here the record of John Kerry becomes unclear and the mainstream press won't demand that John Kerry sign a Department of Defense (DOD) form 180 that would release all of his military records. Records released by his campaign are confusing. There are indications that he was Honorably Discharged on Jan. 3, 1970, Feb 16, 1978, July 13, 1978 and even lately Mar. 12, 2001. Why the confusion on a relatively simple service event. Could it be that John Kerry received a less than honorable discharge in the early 70"s because of his anti-war activities? And then was pardoned for those activities when then President Jimmy Carter on January 21, 1978 ( Proclamation 4483) granted a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all persons who may have committed any offense between August 4, 1964 and March 28, 1973 in violation of the Military Selective Service Act or any rule or regulation promulgated there under.
Did John Kerry request that his service be granted an Honorable Discharge and it was finally granted in 1978? Only a complete release of his military records will show what actually happened during this period. And, to date John Kerry has refused to sign the necessary DOD form 180 which would allow for this release. If the Democratic Party, the media, and the Bush critics are going to demand, as they do on almost a daily basis, that George Bush release all of his records, should they not do the same for John Kerry?
