unbelievable.

It's as if the republiclowns are reading those reports in a different language.

So... do shrapnel wounds count for a Purple Heart? Sheesh. I mean I could care less if you hate the man or hate his politics, just take all this carping about his service record and blow it out your arse... buncha hypocrites!

MrLars, his rank of officer wasn't supposed to be on swift boats.


Not only that, but he only went on missions where the expected enemy contact was minimal.




What does that tell you he was trying to do?  If you can't pick this one up, you should be shot.

I read some of the missions he was on he was to expect enemy contact.

I just read the link Mrlars posted, what was he trying to do? Read the second part of that last quote.

And I President bush for all those strategic bombers he intercepted over the United States.

So? He requested and got his request filled, are you saying he had gotten preferential treatment? Justify GWB's preferential treatment if you think so.

Not only that, but he only went on missions where the expected enemy contact was minimal.[/QUOTE]

It's my understanding that the swift boat missions turned very hot just as he took the helm. If those missions were so 'safe' then explain why he was in the action where he earned his SS.

Again, even if he requested 'safe' missions on the delta isn't this leaps and bounds above what GWB requested as far as being 'safe' from hostile fire?

What does that tell you he was trying to do?  If you can't pick this one up, you should be shot. [/QUOTE]

It tells me that just maybe he was trying to keep his crew alive as well as himself....something that is easy to question in hindsight from the safety of being behind a computer but in reality, if one had been there as I was you'd know that staying alive was on at the forefront of everyones thoughts and an officer who tossed caution to the wind didn't have too many happy followers, or cover fire.  < smile >

So, why did you want to shoot me?

Everything else aside, I just don't see how Buch can compete with Kerry when it comes to the Political Caricaturist vote.

1) John Kerry was wounded by enemy fire.

2) John Kerry was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received by enemy fire.

3) George W. Bush hid in Alabama, Texas and Colorado during the Vietnam War with the help of his Mommy and Daddy.

MT,
Had the roles been reversed (Kerry a Republican and Bush a Democrat) The "conservatives" here would be extolling his military service and trashing Bush's. The funny thing is that most "liberals" here would be giving kudos to Kerry's military service as well.
You don't see the equation here on the AH BBS (Usually, not always)?
Anything Republican "conservatives" affiliated = Good
Anything Democrat "liberals" affiliated = Bad, Evil, tree huggers, communists, socialists, hippies, etc.
Everything and anything negative going on = liberals.
Everything good = conservatives.

All that matters is political affiliation. All else is water under the bridge.

This from my observations and my opinion, nothing more.

Do you have some information I don't? I have heard about the Texas and Alabama issues, but not Colorado...

I thought Colorado was just a depository for paperwork.

BZZZZZZ...wrong!  What conservative talk-show spew-hole filled your empty head with that lie?

http://swiftboats.net/

Click on "Normal Crew":

Crew Complement

The usual crew of a swift boat consisted of:
1 - Lieutenant/Lieutenant junior grade/Ensign (boat commander)
(the enlisted personnel ranged from E3 seaman to E6 Petty Officer First class)
1 - Quartermaster
1 - Radarman
1 - Gunners' Mate
1 - Engineman
1 - Boatswains' Mate

So...if the first claim was a lie, what should we think about the next.  What is your source?

I'm sorry.


My father who ran a Navy Landing party tells me that officers of Kerry's rank aren't supposed to be on those ships.  I guess his time in the navy during vietnam was all of a lie.




Btw, If you've ever heard of a guy named John F. Kennedy, you'd realize in a heart beat that Kerry is trying to mimmick Kennedy step for step.  He even changed his last name to a catholic last name!

nyuk nyuk

He changed his name from Kohn to Kerry in 1902!  He's in good shape for someone at least 102 years old.

It was his grandfather who changed the family name, and as Kerry is a Catholic, it's good to have a Catholic name.

a name like O'Shaunessy or Bettalucci or DePardieux... hey what is the definition of a Catholic name?
