The oddest things about his costumes aren’t the robes... That’s pretty African stuff on the whole and after the MidEast dissed him he was going for “King of Africa.”
No - what always got me were the battle honors and medals.
What is that - the Strathcona Medal? And what’s that one - the Victoria Cross or something? As well as the Pour La Merite? And what the heck do all those bars mean? Some of his outfits had HUNDREDS of them! What - the Ice Cream Revolt at the Cul-de-Sac? The Tractor Press-Conference Melee? The Skirmish at Prickly Beaver? I always wondered if they had any meaning to him.
Go back and review the video of him being hauled out of the truck (before he is killed). At one point his shirt comes up and he is wearing a bra.
Now, at long last, when death has removed the need for further secrecy, I am free to reveal that Col. Muammar Ghaddafi (note correct spelling) was a member of the team (of which I was honored to be a member, albeit of inferior rank)that was led by Lt.J.G. John F. Kerry on that cold Christmas Eve long ago.
Stripped naked, except for the Rambo-Head-Scarf (designed by Sylvester Stallone while on a secret mission of his own at Le Rosey Prep School in ostensibly neutral Switzerland), with 14-inch Kabars firmly clenched in our teeth, we went into action, silently dog-paddling up the Mekong, 300 miles into Cambodia. Soon-to-be-President Nixon had issued the top secret orders to our valiant Lt. Kerry and the then secret-Ensign Ghadaffi. I personally held the flashlight while they nervously worked out the details using their Captain Cody Decoder Rings.
We took prisoners and decimated a nest of NAZI spies. (C'est un autre conte as Lt. Kerry was wont to say) When we returned we were decorated by Lt. Kerry. I received The Merit Badge for Water Sports and a Scholarship to Philmont BS Ranch, and Lt. Kerry and the then Ens. Ghaddaffi (note spelling) gave each other the Cloud Banner with 1000 White Elephants, The Croix de Guerre avec Palme (of course), The Congressional Medal of Honor, The Pour le Merité with Ritterkreuz and Diamonds, several Purple Hearts, The Victoria Cross, The Norwegian Lifesaving Medal of Gold, La Croce Militare, The Order of the Golden Fleece, and made each other Knights of the Garter, and The Round Table.
Many of you members of the VRWC tend to pooh-pooh the military accomplishments of Lt. Kerry. Now I can come out (so to speak) and reveal the truth. That is because I, and then secret Ens. Ghaddaffi, USN (note alternate spelling), were there. Those medals on the Ghadafi's (note alternate spelling) were not given for a bun-fight at the Mess of Princess Patricia's Rifles, my friend. NS.
Glad I could set the record straight. No need to reply. Although my ex-CO, Lt. Kerry, surely would appreciate a letter of apology for the outrageous slurs against his valiant record posted so frequently at this site. IMHO, he deserves a medal for long-suffering.
