KERRY'S VIETNAM PROBLEM

New York Post - Letters ^ | 8/13/04

August 13, 2004 --

What I want to know is why Bush's stint in the National Guard merited intense scrutiny from the mainstream media four years ago and again during this election cycle, but the many confusing issues regarding Kerry's Vietnam experience are completely ignored ("Kerry's Attempt To Squelch Vets," Editorial, Aug. 10)?

This is a serious character issue that needs to be explored.

Andover, Mass.

Kerry spent his convention wrapping himself in his war record.

[snip]

Now we have a new book that seriously challenges the truthfulness of how Kerry has depicted his time in the military.

The public is entitled to see Kerry's service records.

Jeff LudwigBrooklyn

Kerry is a first-class crybaby.

He could settle everything by opening his full service records.

I guess that's one reason the New York Post is such a great paper -- they apparently have great readers!

Andover, Mass.

Andover? There's a Republican in Andover?

Will wonders never cease...

[gooleyman]

A good comback for Bush during the debates:

Kerry: "AYE defended America in my youth and AYE will defend her as president!!!"

Bush: "No John, I defended America in my F(whatever) jet, YOU defended NORTH Vietnam!!!"

Kat isn't there a name for men who claim all this darring do stuff without actually performing it?

I know men like Custer were gloryhounds but that doesn't fit hanoi john.

[kattracks]

I can think of a couple.

Phoney

Liar

What irks me the most about this is that Kerry slimed the Vietnam vets while building his phoney record. He built himself up on the backs of truly courageous men with his lies.

[tkathy]

It's becoming apparent that he went to Vietnam in the first place with the intent of launching a political career, not to serve his country. He must have cultivated his shipmates with that in mind from the very first, not with the well being of anyone but himself.

This is an open invitation to ALL FReepers, veteran or not, Vietnam era or not. Please join us on September 12th as we tell the world that John Kerry was a liar and traitor then, just as he is a liar and traitor now

There was a Republican in Boston earlier in the summer. Having been there only on business, I am safe at home in my red state now.

[guitfiddlist]

Andover? There's a Republican in Andover?

That is amazing. However, he's writing far away to the NY Post, and I doubt he's publicly mentioning his affiliation in Andover.

There's at least one Republican living in Somerville, Mass - me. Just here for a month to take a Business course. I lived in Cambridge 20 years ago during college, and the PC, the "progressivism" and obligatory GOP-bashing that has always been here, has increased to almost Red Guard level.

[lonerepubinma]

AAHH you should have e-mailed me that you were coming to visit.

[metesky]

Being a native Bostonian, I am in complete shock. I might take to strong drink later in the day if I can't shake it.

Thank God it's Friday.

[Leisler]

There's a good chance he's a drunk Repbulican and doesn't know he lives in Andover.

There's a good chance he's a drunk Repbulican and doesn't know he lives in Andover.

Well, it is the Merrimack Valley.
