So Kerry served in Vietnam - who knew? Wow, four whole months, most of the time trying to get out. Gets a Purple Heart for getting a 1/4" cut. Then throws away his ribbons over a fence in protest. You'd think he'd want to bury his "service record", not brag about it.

Almost Clintonian in that he believes he can spin lies any way he wants to without getting caught.

I keep hearing Kerry referred to as "Lt. John Kerry" (Rank=O3) (...like in the above article), but I thought he was only a Lt.(jg) (Rank=O2)

Does anybody know whether Kerry was ever actually promoted to Lt.("O3"), or is this all just more Kerry-style military puffery???

Just wondering.

Is there any way to find out how many other servicemen took the the 3 Purple Hearts and out option during the Vietnam War? I heard John O'Neill say that there is no record, nor could any of the other vets remember, anyone else from their unit getting out early using this.

To: lady lawyer; Chi-townChief; jla; All
what about those "action" pictures of himself that he had taken after the war and has used in his TV commercials? When did that happen? Did he do it simultaneously with protesting the war, so he could later exploit his service? Has there ever been any information posted here about those pictures?

--lady lawyer

Excellent point.

bout those John-Kerry-Does-Vietnam reinactment pictures...

No one seems to be focusing on the level of psychopathy that would be necessary for someone--and especially someone with supposedly so much disgust for the event--to have done this. Even if we discount Kerry's cynical, sick, self-serving motive, the John-Kerry-Does-Vietnam reinactment pictures are, by definition, sick.

That the man watches them ad nauseam, that he whips them out for guests at the slightest provocation, (like unfailingly soporific vacation slides), only confirm the diagnosis.

And no one seems to be focusing on the rank dishonesty of John Kerry to use his fake "reality TV" pictures in any John Kerry sales pitch.

Of this you can be certain: Bush v. Kerry is not their premiere showing. John-Kerry-Does-Vietnam reinactment pictures doubtless had top billing in prior Kerry races.

John Kerry is not honest. John Kerry is not well.

John Kerry lacks the moral authority to be president. Especially now, with the prisoner-abuse scandal.

America cannot afford to elect a president who is a self-professed war criminal.

ohn Kerry, self-professed war criminal, needed the Iraqi prisoner "abuse" scandal about as much as bill clinton, documented rapist, needed the Saddam rape rooms or the marauding Milosevic rapist-guerrillas.

For this reason, Kerry did not respond for a full week to this latest leftist-fulminated Bush-bashing brouhaha, and when Kerry did finally respond, the focus of his condemnation was process, not content, his pulled punches notwithstanding.

Makes sense. War criminals, by definition, lack the requisite moral authority to address such war-related -- ah -- issues.

By contrast, the response from Kerry's leftist colleagues has been so disproportionate -- and so predictable -- that it approaches farce of farce, even if we discount demonstrated Democrat willingness to trade American blood and national security for reacquired power.

The Democrats, apparently not adherents of Aesop, have "cried Bush" far too many times to be to be anything but preposterous. (Thank you, Howard Dean.)

Are the reflexively self-serving, America-hating, power-hungry Dems simply clueless actors? Or are they part of a larger orchestrated effort to muddy up Kerry's Vietnam-atrocities swamp?
