West Point Graduate Condemns Kerry's Valor Awards and Purple Hearts as Phony
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In an open letter to Senator John Kerry, a former regional coordinator for Viet Nam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) has accused the senator of betraying antiwar veterans and dragging VVAW to the radical left and collaboration with the enemy. Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr., an airborne ranger infantry veteran of Viet Nam and antiwar veteran himself also wrote in his letter that Kerry usurped the leadership of VVAW with his "phony medals for valor and [his] three phony Purple Hearts." Johnson, a registered democrat, writes in his letter that most antiwar veterans told the truth about what they saw and did in Viet Nam and asserts that they were demanding from their leaders acknowledgement and change. It was Kerry, Johnson writes, who took over leadership of VVAW under false pretenses and dragged it in the direction of Jane Fonda and collaboration with the enemy.
In the letter, Johnson calls Kerry a Narcissist who has fallen in love with a phony image of himself which has become the focus of Kerry's life. According to Johnson, Kerry took his movie camera to Viet Nam "with the express purpose of recording [his] imaginary exploits and feeding [his] grandiose image of [him]self."
Johnson's letter contains many references to heroic actions of soldiers, comrades, and West Point classmates who earned one or more Purple Hearts, some of them posthumously. Johnson also mentions his uncle, William B. Johnson, a lieutenant in the Navy who received the Purple Heart posthumously after being killed in action on his PT boat in the Pacific during WWII.
Johnson writes to Kerry, "Your deceit is an explicit slur upon my uncle Will's Purple Heart award, and you mock all other veterans who made the supreme sacrifice or suffered genuine wounds in combat throughout our nation's history. Your rise to prominence is based upon your abominably perverse desecration of our ideals; you have trivialized and demeaned the sacred and the solemn, and no amount of fluent sophistry or braggart pretense can cover it up."
Mr. Johnson said that even Kerry's own accounts of his "exploits" are pathetic and added, "If Kerry's awards are the standards for service and valor in Viet Nam, then the two million or so of us veterans who simply did our jobs, whether we believed in the war or not, all deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor."

Can't wait what's coming up next.
It's amusing to watch the left eat and feed off its own 'undesireables'.
Even his old 'comrades' want to distance themselves from this pathetic, narcissistic loser.

To left for the lefties, UFB.
Some liberals will draw the line at betraying their country. Mr. Johnson was wrong to protest the war, but at least he was man enough to see the enemy's plan that Kerry supported.
Good for him.

The fellows the media and the top level politicians thought ought to represent Viet Nam vets in the public eye were either too cynical or simply too opportunistic.
Glad to see this guy remembered the problem.

Yeah, and next time I hope it's his pants down around his ankles...
I hope the SoB is too ashamed to ever be seen in public again, eh.
I heard O'Neill on the Michael Medved show today for an hour and at the end of the hour, Medved asked him about the book "Unfit for Command" and O'Neill said, as he always has, that any proceeds he was making off the book was to go to charity. He said today that originally he had designated a Navy and Marine charity (not sure of exact name) but when Kerry found out, he (Kerry) objected for some reason and O'Neill had to find another military charity. The time was up on the show so he couldn't explain further what right Kerry had to object to anything he did with his money.
The old media will ignore it as usual. Maybe Fox will pick it up - it IS after all comment from a largely unheard-from segment of Kerry's past.
Of course this is exactly what he's afraid of.
I can hear them sweating about Stolen Honor and this stuff...they're in a panic over at the DNC.
FYI
Somehow, someway, the people of this country that haven't been paying attention - especially the one too young to remember Vietnam and the aftermath - HAVE to be told the whole sordid history of this man. Some of them may really believe he is a Hero like he plays on TV, but this country is doomed if it elects this coward as president.
Looks like FR has had Kerry absolutely pegged from the git-go. Narcissist, phoney, grandiose, self-deluded.
Can't wait for the thugs to retort that this guy after all, wasn't holding Kerry's coat the whole time he was in Nam and therefore has no right to an opinion.
