I think you are right about Kerry’s wounds. Probably got hit by a shell casing or a bottle of catsup or both. The second wound may have occurred when he fell out of his boat to swim for help.
As far as fragging goes, he was probably in and out before anyone knew he was there on a secret mission. It was Christmas eve wasn’t it? No one was paying much attention. In fact, no one really recalls (or gives a damn) he was ever in Vietnam.
My apologies if I have doubted some of the media’s favoritism of the “facts”. Some say he was the best/worst Secretary of State since Hillary Clinton. It’s a hard choice, but you decide. (Don’t be confused if Madalyn Albright is also mentioned in the same breath. To be sure, she was the ugliest, but not the worst of the bunch.)
BTW, wasn’t he the cyclist that fell off his bicycle and broke his leg over in the French Alps while day dreaming about the Tour de France when he should have been taking care of business?
I could go on about John Kerry’s war record and his tenure as Secretary of State but it would be to no avail. No one really cares. I know I don’t. Now if I could just quit thinking about “catsup” every time I hear the name “Kerry”...
Good post!!!
