John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress
By SAMUEL Z. GOLDHABER
Crimson Staff Writer
"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."
That sampan -- the grenade to blow up the rice -- what the heck was that? The man was foolish then to the point of injuring people -- burning huts in non-combatant vilages, scaring old men, and children, slaughtering livestock -- all that IS what John Kerry did. The other swifties didn't -- Kerry, his boat. He's the one.
The toughest conspiracies -- the real one's and the one's of great literaure (which approaches reality) -- are those of sharers of vile sins and violent acts. The band of brothers.
All just my opinion!
Wow....bump to print
That is a complete lie. Kerry was reprimanded for "destroying the village" It is in in a PDF file after action report released today. His command wrote that he missed a great opportunity for PsyOps.
