More likely, considering the limp-wristedness of many DIMS, Boys Town in Baguio City. Yeah, even though off-limits, Lt Kerry boldly inserted himself in there to "recon" it. One thing led to another and BINGO! drippy d1ck.

Yes, all my kids were born and raised and still remain in Santa Barbara. We couldn't take it anymore either! Even quiet SB is a major disruption to my senses when we visit! So what is it with drivers in Minnesota? I personally think the road signs here are pathetic!!! And that is what makes for nutty drivers! It's downright dangerous to drive in a parking lot! LOL! To say nothing of walking in one!

Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan interrupted Doyle to ask that he only comment on Kerry's medical records in the military, noting that the doctor had already issued a letter outlining Kerry's health during the 18 years that he has treated the senator.

I'm seeing a huge red flag here. What other records are they so afraid of the doctor mentioning?

This is a total scam! If anyone thinks the MSM isn't biased, look at how they treat Cheney who is only the VEEP! They were all over his medical history during the campaign. Even when the docs cleared him for the dozenth time, the press was STILL demanding info. Kerry had CANCER surgery less than two years ago. Uh, his records are "private"? Don't the American people have a right to know if their president will croak 6 months after taking office? Doesn't the "unbiased" press think this might be a tad important?

Kerry got his first Purple Heart after he got shrapnel in his left arm above his elbow. Doyle said if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him.

The same could be said for the pencil he used to write up his phony injury report.

Doyle said the skin rash on Kerry's chest, arms and legs in 1967 was probably an inflammation of hair follicles from the warm weather in San Diego, where he trained before going to Vietnam. It was treated with a steroid cream.

Good Lord! 3 Purple Heart injuries AND a heat rash? Kerry has sacrificed too much for America. He should stay home and rest. I'm voting Bush.

"This is a very aggressive patient," the medical notes say. Doyle said he couldn't know what that meant...

It means he reported to sick bay for every bee sting, mosquito bite, and paper cut demanding x-rays and a medal.

From the article: Doyle said the skin rash on Kerry's chest, arms and legs in 1967 was probably an inflammation of hair follicles from the warm weather in San Diego, where he trained before going to Vietnam. It was treated with a steroid cream.
Two days after Kerry was treated for the rash, doctors noted that Kerry reported coughing and other symptoms and requested a chest X-ray. "This is a very aggressive patient," the medical notes say. Doyle said he couldn't know what that meant, but speculated Kerry might have insisted on getting the X-ray since he had pneumonia a few months earlier.

Malingering is a constant threat to discipline in the military.

When I was in basic training, there was a virulent upper-respiratory infection prevalent at the post.

When I finally became too sick to train, I reported to sick call where I was issued APC (aspirin plus codeine) and sent back to duty. My platoon was out training, so I was assigned KP for the rest of the day. KP (kitchen police) was a very long day of scrubbing pots, mopping floors and preparing foods. Whatever the cooks could get you to do was something they didn't have to do. (Let's not dwell too long on the wisdom of assigning potentially sick people to do food preparation during an epidemic.)

The lesson was pretty clear that hoping for a break by going on sick call was a waste of time. I never did it again. By the time graduation day came, I had to be held up by the two soldiers on either side of me to keep me from passing out. When I got home for a weeks leave after basic, I had a temperature of 104 and suffered plugged sinuses for the next six months.

The description of Kerry's behavior might lead a reasonable person to conclude that he may have been looking forward to avoiding service in VietNam. His later "luck" in getting three minor wounds that allowed him to serve only four months in VN is consistent with such a conclusion.

There's the prostate cancer he had last year maybe.
