I wasn't born yesterday either... Kerry "earned" 2 awards for valor and 3 Purple Hearts in an unheard service term of 4 months. Some SOF soldiers weren't that decorated after 3 full tours so say what you will.
I will take the word of the numerous veterans that have already risked their legacy as Vietnam veterans over one man that's hungry to fullfill his dreams of Camelot.
I think i've explained myself enough on this topic and don't need to justify myself to someone that hasn't served his country. I'm not trying to be an ******* but that's the only way you'll understand my bias.

There's no question that Kerry earned 1 PH wrongfully and an SS by violating SOP.
Besides what I’ve already mentioned in regard to wrongful awards "earned", here’s my reasons:
When you're in the military rumor spreads like wildfire. This is how soldiers know they’re going to war without actually being told by a commander (which could violate the security of the mission). They’re called “Joe-rumors” in the Army and are very common. You could have heard it through the grapevine that Pvt. Joe Snuffy wasn't good at PT when he wasn't in the same Unit, Battalion or Division.
I'll never be able to explain it you guys with proof but there's no question in my mind that Kerry was a sniveling ***** in uniform. I just can't fathom him as my commander in chief and the fact that he reminds me of too many ****bag soldiers I’ve run across makes it that much worse.
Call me biased on this all you want because I’ll be the first one to admit it. Hence the reason why I didn’t elaborate on what my reasons were in the previous post.

Call me biased on this all you want because I’ll be the first one to admit it. Hence the reason why I didn’t elaborate on what my reasons were in the previous post.
I'll start with this. "The swift boat SOP was violated when he engaged the VC on the beach and when the corpsmen that worked on him testified in regard to the wounds they treated. " All his crewmen said that he saved a mans life by doing this. So you would not violate code to save another humans life? I myself would not give it a second thought and do what i had to save someones life. Which corpsmen are you talking about? You do know that a person is claiming to have treated John Kerry and it is making false statements. Since he never treated him. (Look that one up, im not joking.)
Next. "They’re called “Joe-rumors” in the Army and are very common. You could have heard it through the grapevine that Pvt. Joe Snuffy wasn't good at PT when he wasn't in the same Unit, Battalion or Division. " Well since i grew up around this I can attest to it. But you forget one thing. The "Joe-rumors" are formed by those that serve under their commander. Read up on what those that served under John Kerry believe of him. They all stand behind him and call him a hero. Many viets dislike kerry because he left the field of battle after he got his 3 purple hearts. (Which he legally could do.) After he left he condemend the war. A lot of people dislike him for that very reason. If rumors where true at all times then you would be correct. But rumors are also very very false at times. And this is one of those occasions. Read up on what the guys that served under him thought of him.
Last. I will call you biased. Becuase like you said you are. I strongly believe though if you didn't listen to rumors and did your own research into John Kerry's past that your oppinion will change. Didn't you ever have any rumors that where lies spread around about you when you grew up? Samething applys to this. Also something doesn't add up. Bush lied about his service. Hides the fact that he did. And yet you would rather have him as your commander and chief?! Someone that has never seen what a war really is like? How can he know the strains if he has never been there? I would rather have someone that knows what it is to go face a enemy one on one than a individual that sits behind and desk and orders our soldiers to make scrafices while he has never done so.
One last thing. I forgot to add. Who is more coward someone that goes out and volunteers for our country and might die in the process. Or someone that has his daddy save his butt from going and then dispears for 15 days that no one knows where he went. That is fact by the way.

"Further more every single individual that served with Kerry, fully supports him as a canidate.
Not true. Steve Gardner certainly does not support Kerry. Mr Gardner was Kerry's gunner's mate(I think he said M60 or M2). Mr Gardner has refuted most of Kerry's claims.
"The Kerry campaign has denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, saying none of the men in the ad served on the boat that Kerry commanded. Three veterans on Kerry's boat that day -- Jim Rassmann, who says Kerry saved his life, Gene Thorson and Del Sandusky, the driver on Kerry's boat, said the group was lying on all fronts."
The first sentence comes straight from the DNCs Politics Manual: Smear your opponent.
Jim Rassmann knew Kerry for two days.
"What I really wanna know is where you got the idea that should of never recieved his medals. I would like some hard proof in that he put them in himself to get all his medals. And that he was a glory hound. One last little tibbit of information for you. You do know if they got three purple hearts they could leave and come home?
This is impossible unless either Kerry releases his copies of DOD forms or some one leaks them to the public.
But since Kerry refuses to sign one little form that would allow the Gov't to make his files public, how can one take his claims seriously.
Put another way, I could claim to have earned the MOH, but with no paper trail supporting me, would you still believe?
The big difference between Kerry's millitary claims & Bush's, is that Kerry is touting his claims as why he's the better choice. He is asking us to believe him when he makes claims of heroism.
Remember, this is the same Kerry that admitted to commiting war crimes.
Well, why won't he or any of those that support him authorize his records to be made public? Wouldn't you like to see definitive proof of Kerry's heroic actions?
Bush, for what I consider are obvious reasons, isn't tooting his millitary horn.
Here's a book that you should read:

what cracks me up is that none of those men ever served with kerry on his boat, and most of them werent even in the same area as he was. Hell some werent even in country when kerry was in country.. Yet they all claim to have such intimate knowledge of what went down on his boat....
cracks me the **** up, more so then the idiots who buy it hook line and sinker with out so much as a critical thought.

Your kidding me right oaf? You actually posted that book on here?! And you're actually claiming that these guys are telling the truth?! Yeah you really need to do a lot of RESEARCH on this. Even John McCain is against them and the lies they are telling. Yet you still fail to see how obvious it is what they are doing.

1 - Lieutenant/Lieutenant junior grade/Ensign (boat commander; Kerry)
1 - Quartermaster
1 - Radarman------------------- (the enlisted personnel ranged from
1 - Gunners' Mate--------- E3 seaman, to E6 Petty Officer First class; Steven Gardner )
1 - Engineman
1 - Boatswains' Mate
...who cares if those veterans that served on Kerry's boat aren't affiliated with the same 'veterans for truth' group? Most of his surviving crew has already soley testified against him...
Here's 17% the people he served with here:

I was on Mr. Kerry's boat in Vietnam. He doesn't deserve to be commander in chief...
...I still believe what I believed 33 years ago--that John Kerry slandered America's military by inventing or repeating grossly exaggerated claims of atrocities and war crimes in order to advance his own political career as an antiwar activist.

A normal tour of duty in Vietnam was at least one year for all personnel. Many sailors, like Tom Wright (who would later object to operating with Kerry in Vietnam) and Steven Gardner (the gunner’s mate who sat behind and above Kerry for most of his Vietnam stay and came to regard him as incompetent and dishonest), stayed for longer periods either because of the special needs of the Navy or because they had volunteered to do so.
Maybe I didn't state it clearly enough. READ the link I posted. They are pulling the same crap they pulled on John McCain when he ran vs Jr. Your telling me that John McCain isn't a warhero?! Oh and that last link you gave me is very biased source. Here is a less biased one on how big of a liar this guy is. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ixnewstop.html And he got his 3 purple hearts and got out. Don't know about you but if I disagreed with something after going i would get out as soon as possible.
Again you stated salty about rumors, well who knows a man better the people that served with him or the people that hate him for what he did after he left? Sorry but i think i'll stick with the individuals that where on his boat. Again read http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ixnewstop.html tis for proof. Also I challenge to do something for me. Find out who are the people that make up those Swift Boat Vets. You'll see ties to Jr.
Lastly, how can you compare Bush to Kerry. I want someone that knows the value of a soldier because he was one. Not someone that uses his status as a ex "vet" and flown to a boat wearing a piolit uniform. While he never engaged a enemy in his life.
