"Your Cheatin' (purple) Heart" CARTOON featuring John Hanoi Kerry

John Kerry: Your Cheatin' (purple) Heart

"While in Cam Rahn Bay, he trained on several 24-hour indoctrination missions, and one special skimmer operation with my most senior and trusted Lieutenant. The briefing from some members of that crew the morning after revealed that they had not received any enemy fire, and yet Lt.(jg) Kerry informed me of a wound -- he showed me a scratch on his arm and a piece of shrapnel in his hand that appeared to be from one of our own M-79s. It was later reported to me that Lt.(jg) Kerry had fired an M-79, and it had exploded off the adjacent shoreline. I do not recall being advised of any medical treatment, and probably said something like 'Forget it.' He later received a Purple Heart for that scratch, and I have no information as to how or whom.

Lt.(jg) Kerry was allowed to return to the good old USA after 4 months and a few days in-country, and then he proceeded to betray his former shipmates, calling them criminals who were committing atrocities. Today we are here to tell you that just the opposite is true. Our rules of engagement were quite strict, and the officers and men of Swift often did not even return fire when they were under fire if there was a possibility that innocent people -- fishermen, in a lot of cases -- might be hurt or injured. The rules and the good intentions of the men increased the possibility that we might take friendly casualties."

 

-- Commander Grant Hibbard, USN (retired)

cartoon ping... and I'm sorry for the delay in posting a new cartoon. We buried my 44 year old sister-in-law today. She had battled cancer for 6 years. And she leaves behind a gem of a loving and heartbroken husband, a 7 year old daughter and an 18 year old daughter. If you are a praying person, please lift this family up in your prayers. Thanks very much, Linda.

No wonder he identifies so much with Max Cleland as a so called "Band of Brothers". They both manage to wound themselves in a non-hotile fire area.

HOW could you show Bugs Bunny with anything other than a NEW YORK baseball (whichever team; past or present)?   :D
