BESPOKE SAILOR

JOHN Kerry was certainly not a draft dodger, but he was against the Vietnam War before he enlisted in the Navy. According to a story in the Harvard Crimson, which covered Kerry's run for a Boston congressional seat in 1970, Kerry "urged the U.S. to withdraw from Vietnam" in his Yale commencement speech in 1966. "When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft boad refused and Kerry decided to enlist," the Crimson stated.

People can get
Kerry's real book here,
right now,
online FREE!!

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 can’t 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 won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t 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."

...past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency"

What the h3ll wacked out lefty idea is that all about?

Amazing...that is the same rhetoric that democraps and their followers use today.

Facts are wasted on them. Never occured to them that we were fighting Communist who had killed off many of their own people and were planning on taking over more than just half a country.
How is it that so many of these liberals are well over twice my age...yet I know more about the world than they do?

It isn't impossible that Kerry went to Vietnam for subversive purposes and might have even had a support system in place for him. Got absolutely no proof of it but enough of a hunch that I'll throw it out there as such.

His best friend, Droz, has a sister ( or a close relative of some sort ) at the riots for Eugene McCarthy in Chicago. Many of the folks under his command support him, has at least one come to him from Massachusetts. The folks in the Droz boat support him and their stories are odd. Things happen for Kerry that are not typical regarding medals and assignments.

Please consider using this pic in the future.

It's vomit inducing enough for the mockery of the Marines and the flag without having to look at the gay porn in the photo.

Did he enlist in the NAVY or the Naval RESERVES?
