That clears up some of my questions. This whole thing smells funny.
Please read post # 255 - written by someone who has written military citations - have you?
Who was the reporter? L Dhue-Dhue or the effeminate black guy on weekends?
Look like forgeries to me.
Kerry caught in yet another crime, forgery and or conspiracy to commit forgery. Let's see the worm turn on this intell. Kerry should be in the Chongo Casa(Monkey House.)May the chips fall where they may.
Kerry's incessant chest thumping is going to be his undoing.
The question is for how much longer before he steps down and nominates Hillary to replace him."<<<<.....Careful there! I was flamed big time for saying that a few weeks ago!!
Sounds vaguely similar to the story of another Massachussets Senator, even to the very same year.
FyI..please see my #338 this thread..your comments on my thesis are welcome..
It was some babe on Neil's Saturday morning show, but nobody disputed what she said.
"I've written here several time that I have no doubt that the Swifties already have kerry's complete file..."
The October Surprise ?
Cool, maybe one of them can play it like that old Walter Mathau movie " Hopscotch "
Make him suffer for a month, then go for the kill...
I ain't afraid. I've had my a_s burned before.
Good rant. Thanks.
And let me guess....he promises to release them right after he's elected.
Great find, Gramps!
I haven't read the thread, yet, but I am wondering
why he felt the need to have his citations updated
so many times.
He didn't need to have the medals reissued. IIRC,
they could be bought at the Navy Exchange when my
husband was in the Navy. Now, they can be bought
online, if one wants to avoid the crowds at the
Exchange. ;o)
Here's just one online store.
http://www.navyadvancement.com/navy-store/military-medals-ribbons.php?military-medals-ribbons
Here's the page that contains medals. He could have
purchased the Bronze Star and the Silver Star here.
I wonder why he didn't buy a Navy Cross while he was
at it?

Sorry, I missed the humor. Neeeeeed coffee. :=)
I believe the posters are raising legitimate questions. I understand your desire to be cautious because we don't have all the facts, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you have to think it is a duck, especially with Kerry's history on his medals. You may think the other posters are reading too much into it, but you are doing the same thing only on the opposite side. You are playing the devil's advocate saying that there must be a reasonable explanation for all of this. The burden of proof is on you as well.
Excellent rant.
I don't know but I would think that the DD214 itself may also come into question? Is the one displayed on the web site a reissue? If a DD214 is reissued for some reason is it given a new number or a extension to the number?
I wondered what Lehman would say about this. Interesting.
