I heard Oliver North on the radio last week. He as well a Kerry has a silver and bronze star. Col. North stated that he could have qualified for more purple hearts than he was awarded but that he did not want to leave the marines he was leading and be forced into some staff job.To me that is the true definition of a hero. Col. North was a true leader and warrior while Sen. Kerry was looking towards padding his political resume. I for one am tired of these Dems who set their sights on higher office at such an early age like Kerry. Political power is what he and others like him are after and not public service like Bob Dole.
When is one of these talk shows going to book Oliver North to discuss the medal controversy??? Never??
That is True. Col. North had a sucking chest wound for one of his injuries. He knew command would send him home if he got another purple heart...so he did some working to get it denied at the time.
WHAT RADIO SHOW WAS OLLIE ON? Was he sitting in for someone? Does he have his own show again?!
