And we all know that the Kerry sat on the panel that came up with the policy of awarding Purple Hearts.

I'm curious to know what exactly you have a problem with here?

Hit 3 times - missed 2 days - was awarded Purple Hearts by a policy many disagree with.

Am I getting warm?

Nash,
He's one of those Democrats type that can do no right. Had he been a Republican, on the other hand......
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

My problem is that he is trying to portray himself as a war hero and friend of the military when he knows he is niether.

My problem with his purple hearts ties into my problem with Kerry's portrayal as a war hero.

I don't consider someone a war hero for bucking out of duty on the back of 3 purple hearts based on injuries that in no way effected his ability to remain in action and help his brothers in arms.

That, coupled with the fact that he raced home and began to tells lies to congress about war attrocties he never witnessed and which turned out to be lies written by a speach writer.

Oh, then there is the minor assination plot his group was involved in.

So I have a problem with Kerry, his moral judgment ( or lack of) and his sickening attempt to undermine our military from the time he left Vietnam till today..... all on the back of his "war hero" image, which he brought up.

Pork: Lets put that aside.  Bush went AWOL, Kerry went to Nam.  Kerry is the obvious coward and traitor here.


I could care less about who did what in 'nam. The neocons need to spend all this effort "defining Kerry" because they can't stand on their record so far.

Bush won't even testify before congress w/o Cheney sitting next to him holding his hand. give it a break! All that rough and ready national guard training sure served him well

Talk about cowardice :lol

Bush or Cheney nor any member of the cabinet have no obligation to testifiy at all before congress, same way a member or members of congress do not have to be called and required to testify before Bush.

It's called seperation of power.

Even if the letter is a lie, it's the truth??  That sounds like some pretty twisted thinking.  What if a similar letter were written about Bush.  I don't think you would have the same opinion.

The author didn't mention Kerry's Bronze Star at all.

"Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry was serving as an Officer-in-Charge of Inshore Patrol Craft 94, one of five boats conducting a Sealords operation in the Bay Hap River. While exiting the river, a mine detonated under another Inshore Patrol Craft and almost simultaneously, another mine detonated wounding Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry in the right arm. In addition, all units began receiving small arms and automatic weapons fire from the river banks. When Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry discovered he had a man overboard, he returned upriver to assist. The man in the water was receiving sniper fire from both banks. Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry directed his gunners to provide suppressing fire, while from an exposed position on the bow, his arm bleeding and in pain and with disregard for his personal safety, he pulled the man aboard. Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry then directed his boat to return to and assist the other damaged boat to safety. Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry's calmness, professionalism and great personal courage under fire were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."

Ya, I wasn't going to mention this, but seeing as the thread got punted and I saw it there.  I guess by this guys criteria Bush Jr and Regan shouldn't have been Presidents either.

A whole sixteen hours? WOW! Just that statement alone should be enough to convince anyone that Kerry is a war hero who supports the military.

That must have a been a tough revovery for him, I mean 16 whole hours and everything.

I know a guy who spent THREE ENTIRE DAYS recovering from an apendectomy.  He's as dumb as ****, but there's no denying his heroism in this regard. He oughta be Prez.

No wait... I knew another guy that got in a motorcycle wreck, and he was in the hospital for TWO WHOLE MONTHS! Now THAT guy, yeah.... HE should be president.

Kerry - hit 3 times - missed two days. Pansy!

I had cancer when I was in my early twenties, broke my leg, underwent a VERY painful bone marrow test, had food poisoning, got a piece of metal in my pupil from a drill..... I never missed a day of work from any of those.

I did miss several days from other things...like the flu and just plain old not wanting to go to work.

I should be president I guess.
