Traitor or Terrorist John Kerry, you decide...
Here is some information about our Secretary of State. Kerry served only 4 months and 12 days in Vietnam, but was awarded 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze and Silver Star. He was the only sailor to leave Vietnam without completing the standard 1 year tour of duty. How did he accomplish this in so short a period of time? His first Purple Heart was achieved when he received a scratch on his arm after he and his men wiped out a bunch of unarmed fishermen. He got his Silver Star after he shot and killed a wounded Viet Cong (or VC as they were called) who had just shot a RPG at his boat and missed so they wounded him with the 50 caliber machine guns on the boat. As the wounded VC was lying on the ground Kerry jumped off the boat (which was a direct violation of procedure) and shot the wounded VC. His story was much different than that of the other soldiers there that day. According to Kerry the wounded VC was running away with the RPG and turned to fire upon the boat. How many people do you know who run after being shot in the legs by a 50 cal. machine gun, none. The other soldiers reported that the wounded VC did not have a chance to reload the RPG. So even if he was able to stand, and aim the RPG at them it was empty. All of his military records, fitness reports, and medical records have been sealed or are missing, sound familiar? His second Purple Heart was the result of his own negligence, not enemy fire, and Kerry went to unusual lengths to obtain the award after being turned down by his own commanding officer. The Bronze Star and his 3rd. Purple Heart were awarded to him after he pulled a lieutenant out of the water and when the wake hit his boat it slammed him against the bulkhead bruising his arm. This was classified as an injury and allowed him to request to be transferred out of Vietnam. Kerry showed no remorse for the "accidents of war" as he called them like ordering his men to "destroy all hooches (huts) and sampans (wooden boats) we can find". He actually called killing whole villages of men, women and children, "accidental atrocities." Kerry once used an old man as a human mine sweep, making him walk in front of his troops to check for mines. When no mines were found they slit his throat, disemboweled him and left a warning note on his body. He also would open fire on any sampan on the rivers and count the killed as VC kills even if they were women and infants carrying bags of rice. In fact the worst injury he received was when one of his men threw a grenade into a hooch they thought was occupied and the explosion (in a hut full of bags of rice) caused hot grains of rice to imbed in his ass. His OIC (officer in charge) reports that he "had a lot of trouble getting Kerry to follow orders," and that those who worked with Kerry found him "oriented towards his personal, rather than unit goals and objectives." He therefore requested that Kerry be removed from his boat group. Kerry never missed a day of duty for any of the medal-earning wounds. While other members of our armed forces had serious injuries including lost limbs he used the 3 injury loophole to leave Vietnam. Is this the kind of person we want as our Secretary of State? No wonder he wants to send terrorists weapons he has no soul. Kerry, even in his later career as a self-promoting star of the antiwar movement, ever went beyond generalized verbiage about accidents of war, even as many vets were baring their souls about the horrors they had perpetrated. Yes, this is the same Kerry who, in 2004 during the height of the Sunni uprising, called for 40,000 more US troops to deployed to Iraq. You decide...
