Did Kerry stand in the Senate in 1986 and say he was in Cambodia in the Christmas of 68?

Was he in Cambodia in the Christmas of 68?

As further evidence, the vets say, Kerry himself reflected in his own journal that his buttocks' wound came, not from a mine but, rather, from a grenade tossed into a rice cache.

Sworn statements of those present say there was no hostile fire involved in this incident for which Kerry receive his third Purple Heart and the coveted Bronze Star.

"The conclusion is inescapable: that Kerry lied by reporting to the Navy that he had been wounded by shrapnel in his backside from an enemy mine when in reality he negligently wounded himself and then lied about the wound in order to secure a third Purple Heart and a quick trip home," reads the letter.

"All normal documentation supporting a Purple Heart is missing," the letter says. "There is absolutely no casualty report (i.e., spot report) or hostile fire report or after-action report in the Navy's files to support this 'Purple Heart' because there was no casualty, hostile fire, or action on which to report. The sole document relied upon by Kerry is a record showing the band aid and tweezers treatment by Dr. Letson recorded by deceased corpsman, Jess Carreon.

"There are no witnesses who claim to have seen hostile fire – necessary for a Purple Heart (even a rose thorn Purple Heart) – that day. At least three witnesses, Dr. Letson (who spoke to the participants and removed the M-79 fragment), Lt. Bill Schachte (on the boat), and Cmdr. Grant Hibbard (whose investigation revealed Kerry's application for a Purple Heart to be fraudulent), are able to testify directly or based upon contemporaneous investigation that Kerry's first Purple Heart was a fraud," says the letter.

I don't think Dr. Letson, Lt. Schachte, and Cmdr. Hibbard can be blown off as Republican hacks. And please note, Lt. Schachte was actually on the same boat.

Although I haven't researched the topic.. It would seem that Kerry was 50 miles off.

I wonder how close GWB was to his claimed duty station?

well according to boston globe and new york times "Bush logged numerous hours of duty, well above the minimum requirements for so-called 'weekend warriors." but hey if moveon.org says all he was was cowardly fighter pilot youd better stick with that.

As I've said, I think this whole thing is rediculous.

However, when it comes to claiming you were in a country illegally as part of our nation's military and laying blame on the President, fifty miles away is far more than enough to make it clear you're lying.

How about we focus on Kerry's 20 years in the Senate?

How about we focus on Bush's years actually in the job he's reapplying for?
