Swift Boat Liars

? Funny how that group included almost everyone from Kerry's old unit. Not a single officer could be found to support him. I met people like him in the Navy. They only joined so they could have "US Navy Veteran" on their resume'. Kerry obtained orders to an area where there was little or no combat. When he arrived in Viet Nam he was reassigned to an area where they actually needed swift boats because they were being shot at. Kerry responded by getting the he!! out of there as fast as he could without actually deserting. Funny how you call the vast majority of those in his unit liars, but don't question the veracity of the two or three who support his tales of personal heroism.

In contrast, not even the best investigator's dirty-tricks department can find a single veteran who saw Bush in any military capacity whatsoever in Vietnam. Nor during his National Guard service in Alabama for 12 months from May 1972.

Indeed, there are no veterans to dispute the merit of First Lieutenant George W Bush's combat medals or the quality and depth of the wounds that he suffered for his Purple Hearts. Because he was never in combat.



When did GW Bush claim he was in combat? Talk about put up straw men just so you can knock them down. KERRY was the one, who after bugging out of Viet Nam as fast as he could, returning home and committing a blood libel against our troops there, had the audacity to proclaim himself a WAR HERO in 2004! The members of his unit left him alone until his lies became so grotesque as to require a response. Were some of them activist Republicans? Yes, so what? Most were not! Kerry could clear his name of this supposed slander by releasing his military record, an action he still refuses to take. If George W Bush was claiming to be a "War Hero," all that might have some weight. But, it was KERRY trying to make that mainfestly false claim.

The really sad part here is that a hard core lefty like Kerry, or Tom Harkin for that matter, was able to turn on his comrades, further the cause of Communist victory in Viet Nam, and still be elected as a US Senator.

By the way, quoting an obvious hit piece to back up your comments does little to support your position.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
