John Kerry was in the Viiet Nam War? Who knew?
Romney version 2.0, now says that he “longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there.”
I guess the military wasn’t hiring back then.
Agree about West! I think most of the people running for POTUS now were too young when Vietnam was going on. My hubby is 58 and was in high school during that one. I’m not sure how old Romney is though. Probably should have looked that up before posting a comment. lol
(Disclaimer: I was a REMF).
Teddy Roosevelt led charges, put his life on the line, but then campaigned to get himself a MoH, which he got.
There are, no doubt in my mind, countless numbers who earned one, but never got it, probably because all around them who might have vouched for them, died too. That's life. But don't go campaigning for one for yourself. Nope.
There are probably some who earned mere Bronze Star with a V, who, under different circumstances, would have gotten an MoH. It depends upon who saw what.
Has anybody here ever seen anything to top that? I haven't.
'Nuff said.
"When presidents were
military men"
BOVINE EXCREMENT!!!
That may have been true with regards to Klintoon and George H.W. Bush and Dole, but was NOT true concerning the TRAITOROUS, Rat-Bas-TURD, Snake, John "F'n" Kerry.
Let us not forget that he served all of 4 months in Nam and using an obscure and little known Reg/Provision (that 99.9% of those serving were not aware of) got himself sent home after receiving 3 purple hearts.....
....2 of which were "Self-Inflicted" and at leat one, was denied (actually his CO laughed at the phony, "hero" when he put in for this award) but after the CO was gone, re-applied for it and the medic who treated him, removed a "SLIVER" of shrapnel with "Tweezers" and applied a band aid.
That wound was as a result of this MORON having fired a grenade launcher (though he had been advised not too) close into shore.
Another was when this IJIT, tossed a grenade into a chache of rice with the intent of destroying it and got a few pieces of rice embeded in his back side.
None of his wounds caused him to miss even ONE day of duty.
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HIS DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR AFTER RETURNING SND ASSUMING THE LEADERSHIP OF THE VIETNAM VETS AGAINST THE WAR.....IN WHICH HE SLIMED, DISPARAGED AND DENIGRATED MILLIONS OF VETS WITH HIS LIES, DECEPTION AND DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.
George Bush though he may not have served in harms way, risked his life every time he took to the skies flying (at that time one of the most dangerous fighters) his F-102.
Now they return from their familial Indonesian madrasahs and Mexican chicken ranches.
McCain lost that election because he turned people off with his grimace, lack of real warmth, and lack of personality, along with his FENCE STRADDLING. Only reason I voted for him is I knew 0 was worse and of course SARAH PALIN.
Other wise I would have sat home. My vote was wasted on McCain.
I don’t want RINO ROMNEY EITHER!
OTOH, those created by combat for ancient Rome became dictators.
