"Death from Above."
Thank you.
Thanks for the ping!
Mentos made a GREAT FIND! This needs to be spread around PING!
From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. 65-June 66
Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you cant live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you wont have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you wont have to deal with having been there.
- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position. But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

Print and distibute the book that John Kerry "forgets" to mention!
Back to the Top! Great docs, ANV!
Done.
Hey now we can't be bothered by little details like that! Don't you know John Kerry was a HEro?
"Think the officers are required to do daily reports....expect them to come out in the future...."
Never served in the brown-water navy, but knowing the Navy as I do, I'm sure that the SWIFT boat skippers kept logs.
However, I would certainly hate to bet the farm on anybody having a copy of them now.
Smarmy little pricks like Chris Wallace are going to get chewed up in the screws--the swift boat veterans with the truth don't alter course.
Right you are and this is NOT going to go away.
I found this posted on another forum;
Even my brothers in SBVT don't know it yet, but Kerry (pituie) is in for an even bigger supprise before then. How is he going to disprove copies of the actual documents created during his time in Nam which proves what we have been saying. Radio logs, damage reports, spot reports, After action reports... the list goes on. Within the next three days I will be disclosing to the media the location of all the original documents, and how to contact the holder of those documents. Ever wonder where all those reports we wrote went when we left there. I don't. because I know.
Excellent find. Keep us posted. I can only guess where all those papers went ;-}.
BTT!!!!!!!
And a Tuesday Morning BUMP!
BTTT!!!!!!

I've cited examples from the Vietnam War-era, others have too. The most notorious without question was the Tet Offensive "reporting."
